District news
District plans two daily secondary absence calls

What happened
The superintendent acknowledged inconsistent secondary-school absence notifications and described work toward districtwide midday and end-of-day calls, targeting March implementation.
Why it matters to families
Earlier notification can help families learn about missed morning classes before the end of the day. This was a stated implementation plan, not confirmation that every school had already changed its system.
The evidence
The February 17 LCAP discussion identifies inconsistent notification practices and the superintendent’s planned uniform two-call procedure. No later complete implementation confirmation was established in the reviewed captions.
