Chronic absenteeism drops to 16.3% in three years, district reports
Summary
An administrative document presented to the Claymont board shows chronic absenteeism fell from 28% in FY23 to 16.3% in FY26, with a 3.6 percentage-point drop from the prior school year to this year.
Assistant High/Middle School Principal Ida Gorman prepared a document shared with the board showing a multi-year decline in chronic absenteeism districtwide. The document reported a drop from 28% in fiscal year 2023 to 16.3% in fiscal year 2026 and noted a 3.6 percentage-point decrease from the last school year to the current year.
Board members acknowledged the improvement during administrative reports and gave credit to interventions summarized in the assistant principal’s materials; the minutes record the statistic as part of the administrative packet but do not enumerate specific interventions in the public minutes.
