Princeton board proclaims Attendance Awareness Month, Hispanic Heritage Month and recognizes student contributors
Summary
The board adopted proclamations declaring September 2025 as Attendance Awareness Month and Sept. 15–Oct. 15 as National Hispanic Heritage Month; it also recognized students who led opening-day convocation and highlighted the Innovation Center.
At the meeting the board read and adopted two proclamations and recognized several students for their role in the staff opening-day convocation.
The board proclaimed September 2025 as Attendance Awareness Month, noting a national increase in chronic absenteeism and urging a trauma-informed, prevention-first approach to reduce students missing 10% or more of school. The proclamation emphasized partnership with families, community and elected officials to identify barriers to attendance and to reengage students.
The board also proclaimed Sept. 15–Oct. 15, 2025 as National Hispanic Heritage Month for the district, noting that Hispanic students make up 38.45% of the district’s student population and encouraging schools to participate in events recognizing Hispanic contributions.
Separately, Principal Michael Anderson and board members recognized student contributors to the staff opening-day convocation — third grader Morgan Blackwell and student emcees Claudia Simons, Lillian Edmondson and Colin Rodriguez — and praised Innovation Center programming described as the 'IC Advantage' for smaller classes and flexible scheduling.
The proclamations were read on the record; no formal votes or dissent on them were recorded in the transcript.
