Director & Student Government Update

Increase in chronic absenteeism this year (85% of school funding comes from Average Daily Attendance) from previous years. MP will begin texting families, launching an attendance campaign, and piloting Saturday school for absence students in response to the increase in absenteeism. Recent power outages have impacted the boiler, which in turn has negatively impacted school conditions. This feeds into the building renewal process that is coming up next year.
