Acting superintendent reports improved attendance, ongoing AI task force work and residency enforcement
Summary
Acting Superintendent Miss Borges gave an administrative update showing progress on chronic absenteeism, residency-case handling and the AI task force's policy work, and said the district will present a FY26 budget plan in February.
Acting Superintendent Miss Borges opened the administrative reports by highlighting recent community engagement and district progress, including work on residency cases, chronic absenteeism and AI policy planning.
Borges said residency case management has been a priority this school year: "Since the start of the school year, we have addressed 23 residency cases," she told the board. Of those cases, Borges reported 12 were confirmed, 8 remain under review and 3 were denied accommodations.
On attendance, she told the board the district has reduced chronic absenteeism over the past three years. "In 22-23 our rate was 28.37 percent chronically absent. Last year, we dropped down to 19.55 percent... And right now, we are at 16 percent," Borges said, crediting district uplift initiatives and family partnerships.
Borges also reported the district's AI task force is developing strategies for communication, policy development and professional learning to guide thoughtful integration of artificial intelligence in classrooms. "The AI task force continues to make meaningful strides," she said.
The chief operating officer (COO) reported the district is working through FY26 budget development and capital planning, and expects the district's formal budget presentation in February. The COO additionally identified the district's external engagement work, including upcoming workshops and leadership roles in professional organizations that inform best practices for finance and operations.
Ending
Borges closed by wishing staff and board members a safe holiday and reiterated that district leaders will return with the February budget presentation that will outline FY26 resource priorities.
