What happened

On July 20, 2026, the superintendent reported that 20 students were chronically absent in 2025-26, meaning they missed about 10% or more of the 147 school days. Thirty-five students missed 5 days or fewer.

Why it matters to families

In a district of about 91 students, 20 students is close to one in five. Missing that much school makes it harder to keep up. The district plans to recognize good attendance and stress its importance.

The evidence

The July 20, 2026 minutes record the attendance data in the superintendent's report.
