Assistant superintendent presents truancy breakdown, board asks for multi-year comparisons
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Warren presented building-level truancy figures (September–May) and explained McKinney-Vento coordination; board members asked for 3–7 year comparison data and midyear/end-year updates to spot trends and guide interventions.
Assistant Superintendent Warren (S9) presented the district's definitions for truancy and a school-by-school breakdown of unexcused absences covering September through May. Warren said the report is part of the district's comprehensive needs assessment and reminded members that truancy is defined as unexcused absences.
Board members pressed for comparative trend data: S2 requested historical spreadsheets showing multi-year changes and recommended bringing comparative midyear and end-of-year reports in future updates. Warren said the district maintains seven years of data and will provide historical comparisons once annual attendance figures are finalized. The board discussed the role of McKinney-Vento liaisons in tracking and supporting students experiencing homelessness and noted the district coordinates with state resources and neighboring districts to provide transportation and supports as appropriate.
