In wake of pandemic, some school districts take a less-punitive approach to absenteeism https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/121322_pandemic_absenteeism/in-wake-pandemic-some-school-districts-take-less-punitive-approach-absenteeism/
Pandemic-related school closures wreaked havoc on attendance. By the 2021-22 school year, districts and charter networks across the country were facing what many dubbed a crisis of absenteeism. Students weren’t showing up, and educators had to act.

@TucsonSentinel As a former teacher, I have always thought schools should be more lenient towards absenteeism. Before covid, we had many epidemics of flu and other infections because kids would be encouraged to attend school sick to meet some attendance quota.
