The Manassas City School Board heard first readings of two proclamations. Miss Seberg read a proclamation recognizing September 2026 as Attendance Awareness Month and defined chronic absenteeism as missing 10% or more of the school year.
"Regular school attendance is essential to student achievement," the proclamation text read, and board members discussed using data, early outreach and supportive interventions to improve attendance.

The proclamation noted that roughly 70% of enrolled students in the division are Hispanic and that 22% of MCPS employees are Hispanic.
