REDLANDS, Calif. — Chronic absenteeism in Redlands Unified School District has reached alarming levels, with 20.1% of K-8 students missing 10% or more of instructional days in the 2023-24 school year.
Why it matters: The district has seen its chronic absenteeism rate more than double since the pre-pandemic era. In the 2018-19 school year, only 11.4% of students were chronically absent. Now, that figure stands at 20.1%, affecting one in five K-8 students.
Details: While the district as a whole reduced chronic absenteeism from the previous year, with a 4% decrease, most schools maintain troubling rates.
