Networked Improvement Community

RAISE (Raising Attendance and Improving Student Engagement) is a California networked improvement community that helps schools reduce chronic absenteeism by uniting students, families, educators, and experts to co-design solutions that foster belonging and engagement. Through proven practices, coaching, and collaborative learning, we support districts at all stages, empowering them to create sustainable systems where every student feels connected and eager to attend.

Six students with backpacks are running toward the entrance of a modern building, likely part of the RAISE Network. They cross a pedestrian area, their backs to the camera, in what appears to be an urban or campus setting on a sunny day.

Together, we aim to reduce California’s chronic absenteeism rate by half by 2029.
