- 24. Why Attendance Matters Frompreschool through high school, absenteeism has serious implications for academic outcomes. Students who are chronically absent have (CCSR, 2013): Lower test scores Lower likelihood of being on-track in high school Lower likelihood of graduating Lower course grades limiting college acceptance and hindering completion Strong attendance is the foundation for success in college, career and life: • Attendance is a pre-requisite to engage in instruction • Helping chronically absent students get caught up through remediation is a far more challenging and expensive way of educating them than if they move through the system engaged and on-track at every grade level 24

Editor's Notes
- #5 Chicago Public Schools 2013-18 Action Plan This action plan – The Next Generation: Chicago's Children – was developed after listening carefully to the concerns of thousands of citizens and civic leaders across the City of Chicago. We have heard from parents and community members, from principals and teachers, religious leaders and business leaders, elected officials and philanthropists. This 5-year plan is not intended to sit on a shelf. It is an action roadmap to achieving our vision of a high-quality education for every child in the district. Within this framework we have outlined strategies that will be refined and strengthened as we move forward in response to your feedback, to lessons learned along the way, and to new insights into how best to achieve our collective goals. At CPS, our vision is that every student in every neighborhood will be engaged in a rigorous, well-rounded instructional program and will graduate prepared for success in college, career and life.
