Trustees Discussed Focus: 2024 Strategic Plan Update on Chronic Absenteeism

Trustees received a presentation on Focus: 2024, Student Discipline. Data collected was cumulative from last year. Student suspensions are on a downward trajectory, in general. Despite progress, several target areas were not met. Disproportionality is a challenge and a focus, and public events and trainings will be available. Trustees asked for clarity on the room set-ups for students who are in need of support. Re-engagement strategies, including ones that involve parental training, are being evaluated. Discussion occurred around measuring program successes in the future, and considering needs of neurodivergent populations. 

Public comment focused on ideas to support children with mental health challenges or special needs, and alternative data points that have been requested to be measured.
