Lawton superintendent stresses attendance, student supports as top priorities
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Neil Weaver said the district will focus on improving attendance this year and emphasized the role of in-person learning for access to counseling and student services.
Dr. Neil Weaver said the district will make attendance a priority this school year, arguing that students need to be in school to access instruction and supports. "We're gonna talk a lot about attendance this year. It's important for our students to be in schools, face to face with our teachers," Weaver said, adding that in-person attendance enables delivery of counseling and other services.
Weaver said the district offers programs, counselors and supports intended to help students who struggle in school and that being present is a prerequisite for those services. He urged students to commit to learning during the first week and said the district will work with families to clarify what attendance expectations look like and how supports can be accessed.
