Hosemann aims to tackle Mississippi’s chronic absenteeism rate
SUMMARY: Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann is tackling chronic absenteeism in Mississippi's public schools, where nearly 24% of students miss 18 or more days annually. This issue affects over 100,000 out of approximately 400,000 students in the state. To improve attendance, Hosemann proposes limiting cell phone use in schools, raising salaries for school attendance officers, and modifying the school calendar. He emphasizes that regular attendance is crucial for students' future financial viability. Further details on these proposals will be discussed in the upcoming 5:00 and 6:00 newscasts.
