  6. Student Absences by Days(The remaining slides will focus on unexcused absences. PCSB is dedicated to supporting the city in its efforts at reducing truancy.)

  7. Attendance Policies LEAs set their own attendance policies. PCSB conducts periodic audits to ensure LEAs are abiding by these policies. • 86% of LEAs require at least a parent note (or doctor note) to be excused • 59% of LEAs require a doctor note either from the start or after X number of days • 7% of LEAs remove students from class for tardies (tardy hall, sent home) • 70% of LEAs have consequences for tardies (in-school disciplinary action, detention, loss of privileges, exclusion from activities, parental contact, conferences, X tardies equal 1 absence, other school-based consequences or interventions) • 16% of LEAs suspend or expel for tardies • 77% of LEAs have disciplinary consequences for unexcused absences (in-school disciplinary action, detention, loss of privileges, exclusion from activities, parental contact, conferences, other school-based consequences or interventions)

  8. PCSB Goal: Improve data processes and transparency to assist schools in reducing truancy • Truancy: students ages 5-13 with 10+ days of unexcused absences; ages 14-17 with 25+ days • 2012-2013 Charter Sector Average : 19% (up from 18% in SY 2011-2012) • LEAs have been working to improve their excused and unexcused absence tracking systems and create more standardized excused absence policies • Lowest Rates • *These schools were audited by PCSB to ensure data quality

  9. Highest Truancy rates(and their corresponding In-Seat Attendance rates) *These schools were audited by PCSB to ensure data quality • PCSB believes increased city-wide attention given to truancy has improved data quality • PCSB audited schools with unusual data trends to ensure accuracy of data submission • Some schools with tough excused absence policies in turn have high truancy rates

  10. PCSB’s role in addressing chronic absenteeism:-Policies that focus on improvement of attendance-Citywide Collaboration • PCSB Truancy Policy • Reduce absenteeism by helping schools focus resources on families who need the most help while allowing schools to show improvements within the school year. • PCSB identifies cohorts of students by quarter that have exceeded 10 unexcused absences (in future, may change this to “absent”) • School must reduce the number of additional absences for the cohort while preventing new students from being identified • Citywide Collaboration • Data sharing with other agencies in DC to assist them in implementing their truancy policies (CFSA)
