Chronic absenteeism is an issue that impacts schools in Illinois and beyond. That's when students miss 10% or more of school for any reason and it includes excused or unexcused absences.

In fact, organizations like West40 are helping kids get back into the classroom by actively supporting them. On this episode of Shift Everything, Nancy Debre and Jimmy Mortillaro of West40 offer tips and share success stories.
