District reports improvement in regular attendance but falls short of goal
Summary
District staff reported regular attendance at about 75% (above the state baseline of 72.9%) and noted a 5-percentage-point improvement year-over-year; the district's goal remains 80%, and targeted interventions continue for chronic truancy cases.
Diana reported that district regular attendance is currently about 75%, an improvement of roughly five percentage points from the same period last year. The district's goal is 80% regular attendance; average daily attendance was cited around 92%.
She described the district's truancy process: engagement with families through a community engagement board, goal-setting for students and families, and escalation to filing only if progress does not occur. Diana said three cases at the high school and three at the middle school are in active processes; none are at the elementary school level.
