Solving school absenteeism
A focus on reducing chronic absenteeism for Native American students is paying off in a school system serving the Cheyenne-Arapaho Tribes.

It’s a hands-on initiative with an intensive interest in reaching students in the Oklahoma tribe. It comes as absenteeism remains at high levels for all students since the COVID-19 pandemic, but especially so for Native students.

Tune into Native America Calling to hear about promising methods to help keep kids on the track for learning.
