Poor attendance is epidemic in schools Getting students in the Buffalo Public Schools to stay home from school is hardly an accomplishment. Staying home on an early release day, especially when it comes after a weekend and before a day off, is a way of life for these students. Most high schoolers consider early release as a day off.
