“An Overlooked Early Warning Sign: Chronic Absence and District Mobility in Grades K-3 in California” is a new research brief analyzing data from the California Department of Education. Among other things, authors Kevin Gee (UC Davis SPARC) and Hedy Chang (Attendance Works) found that chronically absent K-3 students are more likely to change districts between school years, and to remain chronically absent in their new districts compared to those who stayed.
