District and schools outline attendance interventions, outreach workers, and safe-route follow-up
Summary
Schools reported improved attendance trends districtwide but flagged transportation and walk-zone safety as continuing barriers. Dry Hollow and others will use outreach workers, proactive monitoring, and a new engagement block to raise attendance.
Principals reported mixed attendance trends: Chenowith cited 73.77% of students meeting regular-attender status while Dry Hollow and others described targeted efforts to reduce chronic absenteeism. District staff said proactive outreach, monitoring in the Oregon Data Suite, and youth outreach workers are being used to keep students connected.
At Dry Hollow Elementary Principal Autumn Loyd described "Curiosity Quest" time to create motivating learning experiences and a goal to reduce absenteeism by 5%. Trustees noted that transportation barriers (limited gas money and walk-zone safety) require coordination with city and state partners; they asked staff to review prior safe-routes work and explore deeper collaboration.
