Teacher absenteeism has become a significant issue in American schools, with up to 10% of teachers absent on any given day, costing districts an estimated $4.4 billion per school year when federal stimulus funding ends in September. Factors contributing to teacher absenteeism include challenging work environments, behavioral issues, lack of resources, and low salaries. The impact of teacher absences on student outcomes is substantial, with data showing higher absentee rates post-pandemic, leading to concerns about the quality of education and the strain on remaining staff.
