The Vallejo City Unified School District (VCUSD) has reported a significant reduction in its chronic absenteeism rate. After implementing a plan to improve attendance, the district’s chronic absenteeism rate dropped from 58.1% in the 2021-22 school year to 32.7% last year. Early data for this school year indicates further improvement. The district’s efforts, including collaboration with SolTrans to provide free bus rides for students, have been key in achieving these results.
