32 <br /> Chronic Absenteeism <br /> Definition <br /> A student is defined as chronically absent when they are enrolled in a North Carolina <br /> public school for at least 10 school days at any time period during the school year, and <br /> whose total number of absences is equal to or greater than 10 percent of the total <br /> number of days that the student has been enrolled at any school during a given school <br /> year. <br /> Student chronic absence differs from both truancy and average daily attendance. <br /> Student chronic absence refers to missing so much school, for any type of absence <br /> (excused, unexcused, disciplinary), that a student is at risk of falling behind <br /> academically. <br /> IENGAGL.
