  • Data Review (Bryan)
    • 1st/2nd Quarter Attendance

72.5% for 2nd quarter attendance, last year we were at 65% for 2nd quarter, 1st quarter this year was 78%

More and more end of the day checkouts. Emphasizing the importance of student attendance. Are we doing enough to educate parents on the importance of attendance?

Is there a main reason students are missing class?
