Chronic absenteeism remains a prominent concern in Georgia schools after the pandemic, with 20.7% of students absent 10% or more of the time in 2024, according to the Georgia Department of Education.

Georgia lawmakers in 2025 enacted changes to school attendance law, banning expulsion based solely on absenteeism and expanding reporting requirements as well as access to alternative diploma programs. More information is available at Georgia General Assembly.
