School is so much more than just a place to be. It’s a place to become. Students who come to school regularly have far better options and opportunities open to them. As a 2020 report by the National Bureau of Economic Research states, students who attend school regularly are more likely to have higher academic achievement, higher future earnings, and better health outcomes.

There are lots of problems out there out of our control, but our school communities are ours to shape.
