A statewide initiative now features a real-time attendance dashboard, a public awareness push, and direct assistance for high-need districts to increase daily attendance.

In 2025, state lawmakers revised school attendance laws in Georgia, prohibiting expulsion solely for missing classes and implementing new reporting rules that align with diploma pathways for alternative programs.
