Assistant superintendent reports on truancy and McKinney-Vento; board asks for multi-year comparisons
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Warren presented a breakdown of truancy and McKinney-Vento-related data by building for the school year to date; board members asked that future reports include comparative multi-year data and midyear/end-year updates to identify trends.
Assistant Superintendent Warren presented the district’s McKinney-Vento and truancy materials, explaining how truancy is defined (unexcused absences) and noting that the packet contained breakdowns by building for the September–May reporting period.
Warren said the district conducts a comprehensive needs assessment each year to identify growth areas and that truancy is tracked along with chronic absenteeism. Board members asked for comparative historical data (multi-year trends) and for midyear and end-of-year snapshots to better evaluate progress or declines at specific schools. Administrators said they can provide seven years of historical data after the year-end close-out and suggested delivering a historical graph in August to support planning for the next year.
The presentation included discussion of confidentiality limits related to individual students and described coordination among districts for transportation and support for students experiencing homelessness. Board members and administrators said the district has strengthened McKinney-Vento coordination and that current tracking and outreach to families have improved over prior years.
No formal action was taken; the board requested follow-up reporting with comparative data to show patterns and trends across schools and years.
