What: A citywide campaign against chronic absenteeism (missing more than 10% of the school year, about two days a month). Staff cited a statewide rate of 24% in 2025; Phoenix districts fell from about 30% in 2022 to 22.5% in 2025, with five elementary districts funded by a foundation grant seeing larger drops. The effort adds a website, a social media toolkit and a Head Start incentive of up to 300 annual Phoenix Children's Museum family passes.
Where it stands: Presented to the subcommittee on September 23, 2026; no vote.
