School officials credit outreach as chronic absenteeism falls to 19%
Summary
District presenters reported chronic absenteeism at 19%, the lowest since early 2023, and credited Dean of Students Mr. Hobart and family outreach and MTSS supports for the improvement.
A presenter told the board the district’s chronic absenteeism rate has declined to 19%—a reduction she described as "a huge celebration for us." She credited outreach, letters home, family meetings and the multi-tiered system of supports led in part by Dean of Students Mr. Hobart for the improvement.
The presenter said the district held family meetings and strengthened in-school supports to keep students engaged. No new funding details were announced; the presenter characterized the result as the product of targeted outreach and ongoing interventions.
