The Attendance A-Team was created to create collaborative solutions that increase school attendance.
In Nashville, students and families face a myriad of barriers to school attendance, including transportation, homelessness, access to affordable housing, work obligations, language barriers, and physical and mental health. Our Attendance A-Team is dedicated to understanding these barriers and developing systemic solutions to ensure all students are able to attend school every day.
