Central SD 13J reports modest attendance gains and fewer suspensions in 2025–26
Summary
Superintendent presented the 2025–26 attendance and discipline report: estimated overall attendance 64.4% (up from 63% in 2024–25), students with disabilities attendance 60% (up two points), and 604 total suspensions/expulsions (down 65 from prior year); board discussed targeted strategies and data clean-up for state reporting.
The superintendent presented the district’s attendance and discipline overview for the 2025–26 school year.
On attendance, the district’s estimated 25–26 overall attendance was 64.4%, up roughly 1.4 percentage points from the 24–25 report-card figure of 63%. The superintendent cautioned that figures are preliminary and subject to summer data cleanup for Oregon Department of Education reporting.
For students with disabilities the estimated attendance was 60% (up two percentage points from the prior year), and economically disadvantaged students showed improvement (June figure up to 57% with an estimated 59.7% for 25–26 compared with 51% on the 24–25 state report card).
On discipline, the district reported 604 total suspensions and expulsions in 25–26, down 65 from 24–25. The superintendent said most suspensions occur at secondary levels; male students accounted for 524 of the total suspensions, a figure similar to the prior year.
Board members asked for breakdowns by elementary versus secondary and noted the need for targeted professional learning and review of the student code of conduct. The superintendent said the district will use summer administrative time to review what worked, make adjustments, and calibrate building-level responses.
No formal policy changes were adopted in this meeting; the report will inform administrative planning and future agenda items.
