District highlights attendance tracking, incentives and targeted interventions
Summary
District staff summarized attendance tracking, incentives and targeted interventions tied to advisory periods and PBIS, reporting modest attendance gains but noting continued focus needed to reach internal targets.
Presenters briefed the board on attendance strategies they used this year — front‑office tracking, SRO support, incentives (gift cards and school swag) and a peer‑to‑peer attendance team planned for next year. They said some grade‑level gains raised the percentage of students at 92%+ attendance from 52% to 56% in parts of the school.
Staff emphasized that attendance improvements lagged some academic gains and that they will prioritize attendance monitoring, parent communication through a new attendance module and targeted interventions tied to advisory lessons. The presenters also described PBIS and behavior‑refocusing measures that raised referral counts because staff were holding students more accountable.
