Chronic absenteeism is one of the most pressing crises in American education. In Washington, D.C. alone, 44% of students are chronically absent. At @FriendshipPCS, they are combating chronic absenteeism with an intentional culture where every adult in the building owns every child's success. Their secret sauce? "It's intervention. And our all-hands-on-deck approach." - Principal Gregory Spears Click the link to learn what their all-hands-on-deck approach is: yahoo.com/news/articles/lear… #CharterSchools #SchoolLeadership #PublicEducation #CharterEducation #Charter #Education #CharterGrowth #CSGF #StudentSuccess #K12Education #Chronicabsenteeism

As the DC Council prepares to vote on the FY27 budget, it's worth asking: who bears the cost when educational inequities are ignored? Underfunding charter students doesn't close opportunity gaps, it widens them. f.mtr.cool/dxfaxsjspz #DCProudCharterStrong
