School District Leave Policies, Teacher Absenteeism, and Student Achievement.

Ehrenberg, Ronald G.; And Others

Journal of Human Resources, v26 n1 p72-105 Win 1991

Econometric analysis of data from over 700 New York state school districts found that (1) policies governing use of teacher leave days clearly influence their use; (2) higher student absenteeism correlated with poorer test performance; and (3) teacher absence was not largely associated with student test performance. Changes in leave policy were recommended. (SK)
