Data from the Ohio Department of Education shows Ohio's chronic school absenteeism rate was 24% in the 2020-2021 school year. The chronic absenteeism rate is even higher in Akron Public Schools. Truancy Officer Josh Allen said it currently stands at 44% in 2022.
AKRON, Ohio — Data from the Ohio Department of Education shows Ohio's chronic school absenteeism rate was 24% in the 2020-2021 school year.
He said there are many factors contributing to that increase, like engagement and technology challenges during remote learning, and even more now that kids are back in-person. It's a strategy ODE is also implementing to address chronic absenteeism. The department also hired an attendance adviser in 2021. Miracle said planning for that position was in the works before the pandemic, so it wasn’t in response to the chronic absenteeism issues Ohio has dealt with over the past two years, but the adviser is helping to address those issues.
“When I call, the first thing I ask is, ‘How can I help you get your kid to school? What's the barrier standing in the way?’ Maybe it's alarm clocks. They don't have anybody to wake them up. Maybe it's transportation, maybe they have to have babysitters,” said Allen. At each home, Blash attempts to speak to the parent of the truant child. However, if no one is home, he leaves a door hanger with Allen’s contact information at the home instructing them to call him so they can brainstorm solutions to help the child get back to school.
Are their efforts working? Allen said the results aren’t always immediate, but he knows they’re making a difference.
