As children head back to school, we're looking at why so many students are no-shows during the school year, from Columbus City Schools, where the absenteeism rate is over 50%, to the rest of the state, where almost a quarter of students miss 10 days or more.
Those figures actually reflect slight improvements over the last couple of years.
We're talking about strategies and solutions for tackling the underlying issues that lead to students missing school.
