Requires certain school districts and DOE to address chronic absenteeism.

This bill requires New Jersey school districts with a chronic absenteeism rate of 10% or higher (district-wide) or 15% or higher at a specific school to form an attendance review team. These teams, made up of school staff and community partners, must meet monthly to review cases of chronically absent students and recommend interventions for families. It also mandates the New Jersey Department of Education to create and post online a prevention plan explaining chronic absenteeism, its academic impacts, and strategies for school-family-community partnerships. The plan must include data-tracking methods to monitor attendance by student groups (like race, grade, or language background) and may offer optional mentorship programs or incentives for schools that improve attendance.
