Chronic absenteeism by gender (schools reporting both)
Male and female below-90 shares restricted to schools reporting both genders in that year, plus a fixed-panel version restricted to schools reporting both in every in-person year.

- 4How it was checkedChecked: passed
- ✓ passedBoth the per-year and fixed-panel series recomputed independently in Python from the district CSV and matched (full QA §D).
The QA report behind this status · the report also lists what it does not check.
Each input metric’s own checks are on its metric tree (links above). Only the district-wide all-students series is covered by the packet’s 15 source-vs-database checks; that coverage is not claimed for any other block.

- The per-year common set changes membership; the fixed panel is the sensitivity check.

Each race/ethnicity line covers only schools that report that group (the district withholds small groups), so the groups are measured at different sets of schools. Gender covers only schools reporting both genders; that set changes from year to year (157, 165, 165, 171 schools from 2021-22 on), so the fixed-panel rows hold it constant as a sensitivity check.
