CUSD DEPARTMENT UPDATES
9.6  Monthly Enrollment & Average Daily Attendance (ADA) Report  (Reports)
 

Background Information:

The Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) Goal #3 Action #5 is to improve CUSD attendance and chronic absenteeism rates for all students. Consistent with this goal, we will be providing monthly reports to the Board regarding the efforts of district and site personnel toward implementation of the Goal's five key actions:

  1. Ensure all site attendance is accurately reported daily into Synergy.
  2. Ensure all site attendance clerks and identified site administrators notify parents on a weekly basis of absences, including providing official CUSD absence threshold letters to parents on a timely basis.
  3. Ensure all sites promote and/or incentivize positive attendance.
  4. Ensure all sites hold appropriate School Attendance Review Team and School Attendance Review Board meetings for students whose attendance reaches appropriate thresholds.
  5. Provide reports to the Governing Board on district attendance and enrollment monthly.

Reports:
See attachment.
Financial Impact:

Increases/decreases in ADA have a direct and significant impact on district revenues.

  • Students who are absent lose valuable instructional time.
  • A 1% change in CUSD's attendance rate is approximately $250,000 in increased/decreased revenue.

SUPPORT:  Maintain safe and supportive schools where students and staff thrive:
