Episode Details

Pulaski County Public Schools is making waves with a dramatic 11% drop in chronic absenteeism, thanks to a winning combo of fun incentives, family engagement, and flexible support. Students earn pizza parties, ice cream treats, and even theater trips for hitting attendance goals, while the top-performing school gets a flashy “attendance champion” banner. Families are welcomed with back-to-school events packed with free supplies and food, and the district’s innovative night school and targeted tutoring programs help clear absences and keep kids engaged. With a clear focus on daily presence as the foundation for lifelong success, Pulaski County proves that when schools, students, and families work as a team, attendance can become a habit—and a triumph.
