Approval of Student Attendance Incentive Program Awards for FY 2023/24 Meeting Jul 18, 2024 - Regular Governing Board Meeting Type Action Recommended Action Approval of Student Attendance Incentive Program Awards for FY 2023/24 At its September 12, 2023 meeting, the Governing Board approved the Student Attendance Incentive Program structure for FY 2023/24. Given the dramatic change in student attendance patterns after the COVID pandemic as opposed to those prior, the Board put in place the following structure for FY 2023/24: 1. The Baseline student attendance percentage for each school is the final 2021/22 or 2022/23 attendance rate, whichever is higher. 2. The final 2023/24 student attendance rate for each school will be compared to the Baseline attendance rate. 3. The top three schools whose 2023/24 attendance rate exceeds their Baseline attendance rate will receive a dollar award as follows: Best Rate Increase: $ 10,000 Second Best Rate Increase: $ 7,500 Third Best Rate Increase: $ 5,000 4. Awards will be school site discretionary dollars Here are the results based on the final student attendance rates through Month 8 (P2): Best Rate Increase: $ 10,000 El Cajon Valley High School: 90.62%, an increase of 1.56% Second Best Rate Increase: $ 7,500 West Hills High School: 93.48%, an increase of 0.90% Third Best Rate Increase: $ 5,000 Grossmont High School: 93.23%, an increase of 0.89% Please see the attached for the complete report of all schools and the District as a whole. For reference, the District overall experienced a 91.63% attendance rate for FY 2023/24, an increase of .19% from the prior year. In FY 2018/19, the last complete year before the pandemic, the District realized a 94.45% attendance rate so attendance rates have not yet recovered to pre-pandemic levels.

Final Resolution: Motion Carried Yes: Rob Shield, Gary Woods, Jim Kelly, Chris Fite, Elva Salinas Q. Action Items - Business Services Subject 3. Approval of the Student Attendance Incentive Program for FY 2024/25 Meeting Jul 18, 2024 - Regular Governing Board Meeting Type Action Recommended Action Approval of the Student Attendance Incentive Program for FY 2024/25 The District has maintained a Student Attendance Incentive Program since the 2007/08 school year. Schools could earn a financial reward for a year if they exceeded their best historical student attendance rate and the District as a whole also did the same. After students returned to school post-pandemic, attendance patterns changed drastically, declining 4-5% across all schools from historical levels. This has rendered the prior program design unrealistic and the reward structure likely unattainable, at least in the near-term. The District's attendance rate may be starting to recover, but is still several percentage points below historical levels. While it is uncertain whether student attendance rates will eventually return to pre-pandemic levels, a Student Attendance Incentive Program reward structure based on post-pandemic data is warranted for the 2024/25 school year. The proposed Student Attendance Incentive Program for 2024/25 is as follows: 1. The Baseline Attendance Rate for each school will be the final attendance rate for 2021/22, 2022/23, or 2023/24, whichever is higher. 2. The 2024/25 Actual Attendance Rate at P2 for each school will be compared to its Baseline Attendance Rate. 3. The top three schools whose 2024/25 Actual Attendance Rate exceeds their Baseline Attendance Rate will receive a dollar award as follows: Best Rate Increase: $ 10,000 Second Best Rate Increase: $ 7,500 Third Best Rate Increase: $ 5,000 4. Awards will be school discretionary dollars. The program will be re-evaluated again after the 2024/25 school year.
