About the Event
Riverside County Office of Education will be hosting our Inaugural Chronic Absenteeism Summit that will be held at the Riverside County Office of Education Conference Center. Keynote speaker Akbar Cook, a principal and Amazon best-selling author from New Jersey. Mr. Cook conducted a root cause analysis which revealed students were not attending school because they did not have clean clothes and were being bullied. His initial response resulted in a 10% increase in school-wide attendance. He will share strategies that have improved the climate on campus and further increased attendance.
