Data Analysis & Chronic Absenteeism Assessment

The contract seeks a subcontractor to conduct a comprehensive analysis of attendance data across schools within Wake County to uncover systemic root causes of chronic absenteeism. The work requires evaluating patterns, trends, and contributing factors such as socioeconomic conditions, transportation challenges, family engagement levels, health issues, and school climate to determine why students repeatedly miss school. The subcontractor must use robust analytical methods to interpret large datasets, identify correlations, and isolate actionable insights that go beyond surface-level observations. The deliverable is a set of practical, evidence-based recommendations designed to help the Wake County Board of Education implement targeted interventions that reduce chronic absenteeism. The analysis must be detailed enough to inform policy and programmatic changes at both district and school levels, with an emphasis on equity and impact across diverse student populations. Proposals must be submitted by July 20, 2026, under NAICS code 541618, and performance is expected to occur within North Carolina. The solicitation is open to qualified subcontractors seeking to support public education through data-driven solutions.
