Project Overview
Project Overview
Our program unites behavioral science, data science, and evidence-based family communication strategies to deliver personalized messages that are proven to prevent absences district-wide. This effort will be split into two projects - a letter project and a text project. The former will consist of two rounds and target 20,000 families, while the latter will last five rounds and potentially target up to 200,000 families.
