District reports improved attendance, targets and incentives
Summary
District reported improved attendance for the second six weeks (overall ~95.1%) with several grades meeting a 95% goal and high-school attendance at about 97.4%; the board has approved incentives and targeted outreach to sustain gains.
During information items, district staff presented the second six-week attendance report and described local incentives and outreach. The presenter said several grade levels met or exceeded the district target of 95% and that overall the second-six-weeks average was 95.1 percent; later comments referenced a district average figure expressed as 96.5 percent.
"Our overall for the 2nd 6 weeks was right at 95, 95.1," the presenter said, noting campus-level incentives and targeted work by staff as the reasons for improvement. High-school attendance was called out later in the presentation as 97.4 percent, and staff described targeted retrieval and transportation efforts to bring students to school.
The district also mentioned attendance incentives organized with the sheriff's department and school-level efforts to support students with chronic truancy, which staff said have reduced the number of students below 90 percent attendance.
