Abstract
The purpose of this quantitative study is to provide data connections between access to transportation, positive school climate and chronic school absenteeism. The research focuses on broad questions: What are the common causes of chronic absenteeism in a rural American school? What impact does school climate have on chronic absenteeism? Do busing, student mentors/advisors, and improved school climate improve the rate of attendance in a rural school district? The study group for the Comprehensive School Climate Survey included over 800 students in grades 3-12 from the Waverly Central School District. The data demonstrates that there is a correlation between the addition of in-town bus routes and social emotional supports, and increased attendance.
