We recommend that states adopt this particular definition for two critical reasons: first, it has a proven ability to identify students who are at very high risk
of academic failure due to absences; and, second, using it will allow for comparisons across states and districts nationwide, even if the lengths of their school years differ.
It's important to understand that, while chronic absence can reliably identify students at high risk of failure due to absences, its inverse should not be considered a reliable indicator of students at low risk
of academic failure due to absences.

of academic failure due to their attendance receive the attention they need.
