Audience Questions

Do we know what is causing the tardiness and absences in lower grades especially?

There are a variety of factors that were indicated in our research: barriers to getting students to school for families with young children, awareness of expectations of the school system for families entering schools in the U.S. for the first time as parents, a misunderstanding of the importance of early education – play is learning.

Do you have data on attendance for kids who have IEPs or 504 plans?

Yes, OSPI’s Data and Reports website disaggregates chronic absenteeism by a number of student subgroups

Did the collaborative discuss having one-on-one conversations with families with high attendance issues, so there would be less pressure on the parents?

The collaborative attempted this last year and did not achieve a high response rate.

Do you include SEL when helping students transition to middle and high schools?
