In this episode of the Urban Schoolhouse, we break down the real difference between truancy and chronic absenteeism—two terms schools use that often get confused. Educators explain how each one is defined, why they matter, and how absences (excused and unexcused) impact student learning. You’ll learn what schools look for, how attendance affects academic progress, and simple ways families can partner with teachers to keep kids on track. Perfect for any parent who wants to understand the system and support their child’s success. Tune in for this informational episode.
