We invite you to learn more about our products and services, our history and mission, and our proudest accomplishment of all: our people.

We are a collaborative corps of hard-working, straight talking, and service-driven individuals. We believe in education. We can help you, your students and their families achieve great things.
We were founded in 2003, and have grown from our origins as the back-office facilitator for most of California’s school districts and county offices of education, into the creator of unparalleled products, most notably The Achievement Initiative, powered by Attention2Attendance® (A2A), a software solution that decreases school absenteeism by as much as 25 percent – and works 100 percent of the time.
Before expanding outside of California, we started as a compliance company dealing with the complex and constantly changing climate of state regulations, economic recession, school funding priorities and politically shifting paradigms.
Today our signature product – The Achievement Initiative – has created a new standard. The Achievement Initiative will improve your attendance numbers, bottom line and, most important, your students’ lives.

Losses We Can Prevent
District’s revenue and expenditures is being driven by a crisis in attendance. As districts brace for budget cuts it is critically important to understand the key drivers = accelerated drops in enrollment and a dramatic increase in chronic absenteeism.
The graph below is comparing the rates of increase/decrease in enrollment to chronic absenteeism, by grade, from the beginning of school through October. It represents an average of 47 days of instruction.
What this is telling us: When we look at the enrollment and chronic absenteeism trend across grade, we can see a declining or relatively flat enrollment compounded by sky-high growth in chronic absenteeism in every grade.
For example: Looking at 1st grade, there is a 4% drop in 1st grade enrollment, which is compounded by the 110% growth rate in chronic absenteeism for the 1st graders that are enrolled.
The data set includes more than 330,000 students across 33 districts covering a diverse race/ethnicity group:
