The REL Central team will explore what existing research and data collection tools suggest are important content to include in a data collection tool to monitor the implementation and outcomes of grants to address chronic absenteeism in school districts. They will also identify strategies that are important for designing a monitoring tool that will yield useful and actionable information. This information will inform a grantee monitoring tool REL Central partners will develop to collect information in summer 2024 about grantee program implementation and outcomes.
