Why Is This Important?

Absenteeism and truancy result in a loss of opportunities to learn and may lead to negative long term consequences. High levels of school absence are associated with a higher risk of school failure, dropping out of school, delinquent behavior, substance abuse and other high-risk behaviors. The Maryland School Assessment (MSA) test produces a score that describes how well a student masters the reading and math content specified in the Maryland Content Standards.
