Attendance Targets Hit by 76 Schools
Earlier this year, I established attendance rate targets for
all schools, including 95% for elementary, 92% for middle/junior
high, and 90% for high. At the end of the first month of school,
I highlighted those schools that met or exceeded those targets.
I’m pleased to again share with you that nine more schools
have been added to the list for the first half of the 2007/2007
school year.
Below are the numbers of schools in each category that met
or exceeded their attendance rate targets.
High School – 8 out of 17
Middle Schools – 15 out of 18
Elementary – 51 out of 57
Alternative – 2 out of 4
