Ohio has launched a new statewide school attendance dashboard to track chronic absenteeism, providing weekly updates and detailed data by district, school, and grade level. The dashboard aims to help schools and communities identify attendance issues early and work together to keep students engaged.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce Director Stephen D. Dackin announced the launch of a new Statewide Attendance Dashboard. The dashboard, available at Attendance.Ohio.gov, is updated weekly and allows users to track attendance trends and view chronic absenteeism rates. It includes a trend line showing the percentage of students on track to be chronically absent and lets users compare districts over time. In Ohio, a student is considered chronically absent if they miss at least 10% of the minimum required school hours. The dashboard was developed through a partnership between the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce and the Stay in the Game! Attendance Network. More than 25% of Ohio students were chronically absent last year, with nearly half in major urban districts.
