Summary:

"In Rethinking Chronic Absenteeism, Sarah Winchell Lenhoff and Jeremy Singer reframe chronic absenteeism as a symptom of a complex set of factors affecting the student, family, and community rather than simply an accountability metric for educators, schools, or districts. Lenhoff and Singer identify chronic absenteeism as an issue of social and economic inequality as much as an educational one, and they explore the role of K-12 schools and other organizations in solving this growing problem"--Provided by publisher.
