During Budget meetings and staff discussions, our primary focus remains on identifying areas to cut costs, maintain our programs with the resources at hand, and find ways to capture funding that we are losing. A key point of discussion has been the District's funding received from the State, which is tied to our enrollment numbers. As previously mentioned in newsletters, our District has experienced a decrease in enrollment.
It's important to note, however, that the impact is not solely due to declining enrollment but also stems from students' daily attendance. Currently, we are only receiving 92+/-% of State funding due to students missing school days; our District/schools are funded based on attendance rate, not enrollment numbers. How can students and families help? When scheduling appointments like doctor or dentist visits, try to book them at the start or end of a day to minimize class disruptions. Attending even one block per day, not only ensures schools receive State funding in order to maintain our programs but also helps students stay up to date with their coursework. Did you know? S tudents missing two days of school per month from TK through 8th grade will have missed a whole year of learning by the time they enter high school . While this statistic may not directly apply to our student population, highlighting the importance of attendance in high school remains crucial for student success.
Making attendance matter does more than just check a box: Establishes healthy and consistent routines Prioritizes learning opportunities Enables student connections to campus Helps maintain extra-curricular program funding Sets students up for future success!! “School - An Enjoyable Place To Be”
"Education is the passport to the future, and ATTENDANCE is the stamp that gets you there"
