Investing in Home Visiting in Connecticut In summer 2021, the Connecticut State Department of Education and Gov. Ned Lamont launched the Learner Engagement and Attendance Program (LEAP) to address student absenteeism and disengagement from school due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Connecticut funded the initiative with $10.7 million from the state’s American Rescue Plan funds. To start the initiative, the Connecticut State Department of Education partnered with Attendance Works, a national organization dedicated to improving policies and practices related to student attendance.
