LCAP Attendance Goals 2016-17 • 2015-16 Goals: • 71% (96% or higher) • 10% (Chronic) The 2016-17 District attendance goal is for: • 73% of students to maintain an attendance rate of 96% or higher throughout the school year • Less than 11% of students to be chronically absent (missing 9% or more of the school year)
Understanding the LCAP Attendance Goal For students who attend the entire 180-day school year: • Students cannot miss more than 7 days all year to maintain Proficient/Advanced Attendance (96% or more) • Students who miss 15 days or more are considered chronically absent.
Understanding the LCAP Attendance Goal (continued) • To maintain Proficient/Advanced Attendance, students may miss no more than 1 day for every 25 days enrolled. See Tool #1 Handout *Please note that these breakdowns apply to students who have been enrolled continuously since the first day of school. Students who enroll late will have fewer days of instruction, and must therefore miss fewer days of school to maintain a 96% attendance rate. How many days can a student miss to still be considered as having Prof/Adv attendance by the end of November?
Importance of Attendance Submittal • Student attendance defaults to “Absent” if attendance is not submitted • We are reporting lower attendance because of this rule. • Schools are not changing absences to tardies: • Ensure students who are arrive late to class are changed from Absent Tardy • In order for attendance to be submitted, staff must click “Submit Attendance” and “OK” to certify
