The bill aims to support students who are chronically absent and at risk of not graduating high school by establishing new programs and funding mechanisms. It mandates that each educational service district develop training and coaching for educators to create early warning systems that identify and assist students with excessive absenteeism. The bill defines "students who are chronically absent" as those missing 10% or more of school days, regardless of the reason. Additionally, it establishes a grant program through the office of the superintendent of public instruction to fund strategies that engage families and provide necessary supports for these students, including proactive communication, home visits, and academic assistance.

Furthermore, the bill allocates funding to educational service districts, school districts, and public schools to help eliminate barriers to high school completion for students aged 16 to 21 who are severely deficient in academic credits and enrolled in dropout reengagement programs. The funding can be used for various supports, such as academic supplies, clothing, food access, and transportation. Both the grant program and the funding allocation are subject to appropriations and will expire on December 31, 2026.
