Educational Leadership School Administration Secondary Education Principal Rural School Suburban School Truancy Urban School Improving student attendance is an issue discussed nationwide. There are many policies and interventions that are used by public high school principals in order to help achieve increased attendance rates in their schools. This study was designed to compare the perceptions of public high school principals in Ohio concerning students’ attendance. A questionnaire was administered to public high school principals in Ohio (N=110, 18% response rate). The responses were compared using the following demographic variables: location of high school, years of administrative experience, gender, and ethnicity. The results were compared for similarities and differences. Significant findings were discussed. Principals, regardless of the typology of their high schools, have similar perceptions about attendance and students’ absences. The results show the top three factors that affect students’ attendance are: academics, climate/environment, and parents/home life. Further research should address all high schools in Ohio. 2015-10-05 English text Youngstown State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ysu1444053175 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ysu1444053175 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
