What moves this number
A personal call home on the first unexplained absence, a recorded reason for every absence, and a weekly attendance team meeting where every student gets an owner and a next step. Chancellor’s Regulation A-210 asks every NYC school for all three. BrainBridge makes them the easiest thing your team does each day.

Group figures the city suppresses for privacy are left out. District figures include transfer schools.
