Chronic Absent:
Intervene early,
Create a more positive school culture,
Make it easy to track and act on real-time data (Kickboard),
Provide additional support systems: Some students, of course, may need additional support. Designate one person or a team to greet children as they arrive at school to make it easy for them to ask someone for help if their day is starting off rough. Have the response-to-intervention team recommend targeted interventions for students who are chronically absent or who have lost instructional time due to in-school or out-of-school suspensions. Have extra uniforms or school supplies available for students who might otherwise miss school without them. Refer the students’ family for additional support services or resources as needed.

By being proactive, schools can identify student needs and address them early to prevent chronic absenteeism. When children improve their attendance, they have more time for learning and they improve their chances for graduation and success in college and careers. It all happens one day at a time.

How can we fund stipends for sports? (Tech stipend exchange?)

What does the library, attendance incentives, and PBIS monies funding?  Could these be pooled?

Is GoGuardian the best bang for the technology buck? Is there something else out there?

Bilingual aides, are they being utilized under their titles?

Foster grandparents?
Are there people that would be interested?

At Wyandotte, in 2018-2019, having a room with a effective adult allowed 20-25 kids per day to reset and prevented many escalations in disciplines. No longer available connected to funding. Many kids were demonstrating increased mindfulness and self reflection skills.

Parents are not showing up to the SARB hearings so instead have the SARB committee go to the home and see exactly what is going on and have the ability to offer services right on the spot. Money will come from the increased ADA from our new higher attendance levels. Plus, it will save the SARB clerk time now that they do not have to create hundreds of essentially useless letters.

Do the teacher positions for SEL instruction indicate that students who have completed the courses demonstrate a decrease in discipline issues?

Though the Data has not come out for this current school year there is a TON of data from other implementations in schools that support the value of this support.

Someone to make phone calls in the first hour of school for absent students to find out why they are not here. Maybe a simple need that can be met.

Perfect attendance assemblies, charting attendance in the classroom for student visual.

Technology push "Clubs" to draw students to school on what is seen as a high absence day during the week.

Resources for parents, change the letter and phone calls that are less punitive.

Suspension Improvement
PBIS, SEL programs, Inner Explorer, continue counselors on campus.

Nutured Heart at Stanford.  Have a designated time to present SEL materials that is uninterrupted.

Second Step at Ophir.  Would BCOE be an option in presenting materials?

Reset room on site or in district.

ELA
Pass 3 lessons a week to earn a reward.

Reward Top Math and Reading student of the week.

I-Ready , Read Naturally, and AR is in use at both sites.

Stanford uses LEXIA.

Ophir uses DRA , PRIMO, RTI aide, and small group instruction.  Increased library time to promote more reading.  Millionaires club, claw machine, 10,000 words students get certificate. Cross tutoring.

Do we have data that these smaller class sizes are improving learning and behaviors in those environments? Does the 24-1 include students that are SDC/RSP?

Principal tries to be available to work with students.

Students without suspensions, count against the suspension rate. Goal is to keep new kids from being suspended.

Data has been used in the past to find students who have a suspension on record already. Using the data try to decrease the number for a student if possible.

Use of buddy teacher, and other resets for students to try and decrease behavior.

We know this is helping with suspension rate (-4%) and chronic absenteeism but research shows that it takes 3 years for these type of programs to show their full impact in the data.

Some parents are telling SROs who show up to check on attendance with K or preschool studnets that their kid doesn't need to go to school until age 6. Some parents of SPED kids who get IHSS services were losing income because the child is improving at school and spending less time at home. Parents are sharing that they will keep them at home no to lose money.

Clerk is making calls and watching absences right way.

Information on  Facebook  on what is happening at school closures.

Chronic absenteeism goes hand in hand with suspensions.

Students with disabilities are more chronically absent due to chronic illness. Off Campus Instruction (OCI) through IEP, which would be an amendment to their IEP.

SRO goes on home visits.

Clerk calls, and writes letters for absences.

Teachers are also making home calls for absences.

Looking at the funding, would it be possible to use the technology stipends in a different area?  It seems as if there are any changes, Patrick or Jon come into the sites and fix them.  Technology isn't the same as when we first entered the arena, therefore, duties are not the same.

The monies from the stipends could be used to increase attendance incentives as that is still an area that is weak in our dashboard. Maybe the stipends could be divided amongst the schools, and have drawings each trimester for students with perfect attendance with bigger prizes, and then maybe 5 families are drawn for $50-$75 gift certificates for dinner, movies, etc.

School safety is directly linked to attendance and academic performance.  If students do not feel safe at school, they will not attend.  If staff and students do not feel safe teaching and learning cannot happen.  This has a direct impact on academic performance.  Safety is a major concern among staff and it is not being addressed.  Although it was stated that the LCAP meeting was going to address safety, it was not brought up at all.
