SUMMARY: This morning, a Mississippi leader is addressing chronic absenteeism, defined as missing over 18 days of the school year, including all types of absences. The rate reached 23.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, 10 points higher than in 2018-2019. Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann proposes filling vacant School Attendance Officer positions, enhancing student mental health, and shifting to a modified school calendar to combat this issue.
