Can better attendance management improve school funding?

Chronic absenteeism is a complex issue that most schools often ignore. Studies indicate students missing 10% of the school year, about 18 days in most districts in the USA — have a negative impact on their academic performance. Hence, they are less likely to graduate, more likely to drop out, have less preparedness for college and career, and more likely to have social and emotional issues. 


How is attendance connected with funding? 

Schools and districts may face a big dent in funding, endured due to poor student attendance if the funding is tied to their Average Daily Attendance or ADA. 


This is a popular metric used in local and state governments in the USA to determine the number of funds to be allocated to education. When students are absent, you have a lower ADA, so a small fund is allocated to your institute. 


To ensure this does not happen to your institute, you need a robust attendance management system to track student attendance on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis. This would allow you to identify the factors affecting a student's attendance, address them in the proper timeframe and increase your ADA. 


Academia ERP Attendance Management System

Academia ERP comes with a robust attendance management system. The efficient software automates attendance marking and consolidates data in real-time to provide you with attendance reports. You can integrate the software with the biometric system or use a QR code for students to scan on the Academia app and mark attendance. This completely eliminates the need for a teacher to take daily attendance.


Also, it provides auto-generated attendance reports. This provides you with granular reports on individual student attendance and sends out an alert to parents in case absenteeism persists. With seamless communication between teachers, parents, and students, you can use Academia Attendance Management System to help students and ensure a higher ADA for improved funding.
