Superintendent Ingrid Colvard told the board that "Attendance continues to be a struggle," and asked the Board and staff for ideas to improve engagement.
Colvard said the district can add a ParentSquare component to better reach families and has asked staff (Anthony Winstead) to investigate cost. She emphasized that excused absences (including sport-related absences and early departures) drive some of the attendance accounting and that the district needs a family survey to identify barriers to regular attendance.
