A measure addressing chronic absenteeism in Hoosier schools is on its way to the full Senate. Senate Bill 338 would require school corporations to determine contributing factors to absenteeism and establish plans to address the issue. It also provides a 95-percent attendance rate requirement for students to get a graduation waiver.
