Administrator reports attendance dip, student events and career‑tech outreach
Summary
Administrator Mr. Johnson reported February attendance 'a little over 92%,' attributed absences to flu, highlighted a Skate City fundraiser, and said 73 students signed up for track; he also summarized regional Perkins consortium discussions on career‑tech programming.
Mr. Johnson (Administrator) opened his report noting "our February school attendance was a little over 92%, which is pretty low," and said flu and other illnesses contributed to absences but numbers improved later in the month. He told the board last Friday marked the end of the third quarter and the district started the fourth quarter of the school year.
Johnson described recent student activities — a Skate City fundraiser, upcoming pep rally and send‑off for a girls basketball team headed to the state tournament, an elementary heart challenge kickoff, and that 73 students had signed up for track practice. He also reported attending the Eastern and South Dakota Perkins Consortium meeting at Southeast Technical College, where region schools and business leaders discussed career‑tech programs and employer expectations.
