Knollwood plan identifies high chronic absenteeism among English learners
Knollwood Preparatory Academy · Aug 8, 2026
What happened
Knollwood's FY 2026-27 Targeted Student Population plan reports 38.2% chronic absenteeism for English learners in the 2025 California Dashboard data, up 1.9 percentage points. The plan proposes targeted vocabulary and comprehension support plus social-emotional check-ins.
Why it matters to families
Chronic absence can reduce students' access to instruction. The plan identifies English learners as a group needing additional attendance and academic support.
The evidence
The FSEP-approved plan reports the 38.2% rate and increase, identifies reading-comprehension and home-life barriers, and describes planned TSP-coordinator, instructional-coach, and classroom supports. It is a plan, not evidence that the supports have been delivered or improved attendance.
