Good point, despite all you hear is whinging about free lunches, education has been a real focus when you look into it:
- Invested $140m over 4 years in attendance services and support
- contracted 83 new attendance support services
- required daily attendance reporting with real time dashboards to assist schools
- STAR system to guide school interventions based on levels of absence.
- information sharing between agencies to better support at-risk students.
- public campaigns about why daily school attendance matters.
- new health guidance to help parents decide when sickness should keep a child home
- family holistic support measures around social workers, alcohol, drug assistance, etc.
If the lefties allowed it they should have tied benefits to kids school attendance!
