Denton ISD reported improved first-day attendance for the 2025–26 school year: Dr. Rainey told trustees the district recorded 31,747 students present on the first day, about 500 more than the first day a year earlier.
Dr. Rainey said the meeting’s attendance count (31,747) reflected in‑house attendance reporting for that day, and she noted 1,841 students who are registered but were not in attendance yet — a group the district expects many families will bring to campuses over the coming days. The superintendent’s office also described outreach to newly arrived families who recently moved into the district.
