The premise
Chronic absenteeism is preventable if caught early. AI can identify the pattern in week 6, not week 16.
What AI does well here
- Detect early patterns (consecutive absences, day-of-week clustering, post-weekend trends).
- Tier students by intervention urgency.
- Draft tier-appropriate outreach (text, call, home visit).
What AI cannot do
- Know the family's situation.
- Replace home visits for high-tier cases.
- Solve transportation or housing causes.
