Since COVID, the issue of chronic absenteeism has been top of mind for school administrators across the country. However, one local school district is heading in the right direction.

The superintendent of Monticello Schools, Adam Clapp, states that based on this year's report card data, they managed to lower the rate of chronic absenteeism by a few points compared to last year. 

Although missing a day here and there can seem small at the time, Clapp explains nothing can replace in-person learning and it can be hard for your student to catch up. Find more information on Monticello Schools at sages.us
