Improve Attendance Rates and Drive Student Success

Simplify attendance tracking, intervention, and reporting

Is truancy a challenge in your district?
It's not only about missed days – it's about lost opportunities and reduced funding.

The Proof is in the Numbers

Project Truancy delivers tangible results. Here’s how:

96.4% Absence Reduction

One district experienced a remarkable 96.4% decrease in absences within a single year of implementing Project Truancy.

Millions in Recouped Funding

Another district recovered over $700,000 in ADA funding (Texas) during the first semester and $2.1 million in the second year.

1.3% - 1.7% Attendance Increase

Early 2024 data shows a significant attendance boost for clients actively using Project Truancy’s attendance improvement plans.

Reduced Chronic Absenteeism

Automated, same-day absence communication has proven to decrease chronic absenteeism and the need for truancy interventions.
