Staff reports improved district attendance; state figures to be confirmed
Summary
District staff told the board the district's internal tracking shows attendance around 94%, higher than the preliminary state figure near 92%; staff said the official state numbers will arrive in coming months and will determine the reported rate.
Staff member (S1) opened the work session by reviewing board goals and said the district is tracking attendance closely. "Our tracking says it's 94% attendance," S1 said, and added that the state reporting system may show a lower number when official data are released.
Board members and staff discussed the difference between district-tracked attendance and the state benchmark, and agreed to wait for state-provided data before finalizing goals tied to attendance. S1 noted that some absences (for example dental or doctor's appointments) still count against the state rate, while school-sponsored activities do not. The board asked staff to continue internal tracking and to present comparative numbers once the state data arrive.
