Summary
District leaders warned chronic absenteeism is a concern (defined as missing 10% of the school year), reported two new bus drivers and several technology upgrades including single-sign on and Chromebook preparations.
District leaders told the board chronic absenteeism is now defined as missing 10% of the school year and said attendance and related funding make it important to address the problem: "chronic absenteeism is defined as 10% of the school year." The district reported outreach to partners about attendance strategies and plans to continue targeted interventions.
Administrators also said they have hired two new bus drivers to stabilize transportation and that technology staff have installed single-sign-on integrations (Google, Clever, Campus) and are preparing Chromebooks for students. The board heard updates on staff training and a shift from a three-year to a five-year certified-evaluation cycle for teachers.
