ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode Kent sits down with longtime community advocate Sel Burrows to confront one of the most pressing and overlooked crises in our education system: chronic absenteeism.
Sel and Kent speak candidly about years of fighting to shine a light on absenteeism, the resistance they’ve faced, and why honesty with impunity is the only way forward. This conversation also ties into the upcoming documentary ABSENT, premiering October 1, which takes an even deeper look at the crisis of absenteeism and its devastating ripple effects.
