ALBANY – Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced the launch of Every Student Present, a public awareness campaign to help school leadership, parents, and communities promote school attendance. The initiative addresses the detrimental impact chronic absences have on student performance, and promotes strategies to engage students in school, therefore better preparing them for academic success.
The Every Student Present campaign, spearheaded by the Council on Children and Families (CCF), lends a hand to school leaders, parents, and communities to help students to make attendance a habit. The campaign is focused on building awareness of the issue, creating engaging school environments, using data to identify chronically absent students, and exploring ways to provide support that can help students and families.
