La Grande SD 1 refines truancy process, district reports attendance improving
Summary
District staff described a refined truancy process that includes quarterly attendance letters to families and resources to reduce absences tied to athletics; board was told overall attendance is improving.
Chris Wagner updated the board on refinements to the district truancy and attendance process at the Jan. 22 work session. Wagner said the district now sends quarterly attendance letters that show families how a student's attendance compares with other students in the same grade, a tool intended to increase family awareness and reduce chronic absenteeism.
Superintendent George Mendoza described additional family resources and district efforts to minimize absences related to athletics and activities. The board was told attendance is showing improvement, though no districtwide numeric target or baseline was provided in these minutes.
