Board approves $4,060 amendment to SchoolStatus contract for absentee communications
Summary
Trustees approved a $4,060.68 amendment to the district's SchoolStatus contract to add automated absentee-family communications, bringing the contract to $120,460.68 and paid from the student services budget.
The Washington Unified board approved an amendment to the district's SchoolStatus contract for the 2026–27 school year to add a service that sends absenteeism communications to families. The additional cost is $4,060.68, which increases the contract total to $120,460.68 and will be paid from the student services budget.
A staff presenter explained that the added service automates family communications about student absences to support attendance intervention efforts. The board approved the amendment by motion and roll-call vote.
A trustee who supported the item said the district and community schools have indicated the service is still valued and suggested making utilization and outcome data available to the public and the budget advisory committee for ongoing review.
