Ohio Launches Tools Tracking Student Attendance in Schools

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Ohio Department of Education and Workforce Director Stephen D. Dackin have launched Ohio’s new Statewide Attendance Dashboard, a public tool that will provide an unprecedented level of speed and transparency in tracking student attendance across the state.

”The new dashboard will help schools, families, and local leaders identify attendance challenges earlier and support proactive strategies to ensure more students are present and learning,” said Governor Mike DeWine.

The dashboard will be updated weekly and allow users to view chronic absenteeism trends statewide or drill down by district, school building, or grade level.

During his recent State of the State Address, Governor DeWine highlighted that more than 25% of Ohio students were chronically absent last year, underscoring the need for stronger community-wide action to keep students in school.
