Governor Glenn Youngkin Announces ALL IN VA Chronic Absenteeism Task Force
Statement
Issues: Education
"The decision to shutter schools for extended periods during the pandemic continues to have lasting, detrimental effects on our children. To prevent losing an entire generation of children, Virginia is leading the way to accelerate our students' learning loss recovery through intensive tutoring and combatting chronic absenteeism," said Governor Glenn Youngkin. "Children must be in school to have any chance of recovering from the persistent learning loss facing students across the Commonwealth. Our new Chronic Absenteeism Task Force was designed to get kids back in the classroom and back on track now."
