District report: about 90 students finished year online or homeschooled; many had attendance or social‑emotional challenges
Summary
District staff presented an analysis showing 95 students were on the online list and the district finished the year with about 90 students either online or homeschooled; staff cited attendance ease, discipline and social‑emotional issues as leading reasons families went online.
District staff reviewed a data analysis of homeschool and online enrollments for 2025–26. The presentation reported that 95 students appeared on a list as attending online; of those, the district finished the year with roughly 90 students either online or homeschooled. Staff said 42 of the online students had never been enrolled in a district building and that a subgroup showed 5 returned while 48 remained online at year‑end.
Staff summarized the most common reasons families chose online pathways: attendance is easier, discipline or bullying concerns, and social‑emotional challenges. The presenter also noted a significant share of the online cohort had chronic attendance or learning obstacles—citing about 44% in one category—and that state changes affecting truancy enforcement complicate district efforts to reintegrate some students into in‑person schooling.
