Trustees Accepted the Focus: 2024 Strategic Plan Update – Perceptions of Student Safety (7-0)

Student safety is measured by positive responses on four questions from the Districtwide Survey: I sometimes stay home because I don’t feel safe at this school; students feel safe in this school; this school has safety procedures that work; and this school is safe. Highlights from the data include:

• • Overall survey participation has increased.
  • High School students reported feeling safer in schools for the second year in a row.
  • Districtwide, 79% of students rated safety positively in schools, which is a fairly stable metric from the previous measured years.
  • In grades 4 & 5, 86.4% of students surveyed positively, which is slightly lower than in previous measured years.
  • In grades 6 – 8, 74.8% of students districtwide chose positive responses to safety, which is a slight decline from previous years.
  • In grades 9-12 safety perception increased for the second year in a row, with 78.4% responding positively. This marks the highest rate since 2018, with the exception of the year of distance learning in 2020-2021.
  • That said, all actual numbers did not meet the targets set.
  • Full results available on data.ccsd.net in “Surveys” section

Next steps include continuous improvement teams revising the school performance plan based on survey analysis this summer.

Trustees Accepted the Focus: 2024 Strategic Plan Update – Chronic Absenteeism (7-0)

Trustees reviewed the latest rates of chronic absenteeism for the District. Chronic absenteeism is the total percentage of students who are absent for 10% or more of enrolled days. It includes excused and unexcused absences.   

Highlights from the data include:

• • Overall, chronic absenteeism has decreased from the previous year measured, across all student groups. The chronic absenteeism rate this year is 30%, vs. 36% last year.
  • That said, rates are falling short of the targets.
  • CCSD’s chronic absenteeism rate mirrors those from similar school districts across the country.
  • CCSD has completed over 35,000 home visits as a measure to combat chronic absenteeism.

Three principals from schools who experienced success decreasing Chronic Absenteeism were present. Their strategies included:

• • Monitoring and rewarding regular attendance, including attendance celebrations
  • Tier 2 support for those who are not attending regularly
  • Personal phone calls and home visits to parents with children who were chronically absent
  • Inspirational PA announcements
  • Emphasis on engaging curriculum, including an additional elective incentive and professional development

Trustees Heard an Update on the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council’s Year in Review 2023-2024

Trustees received a “Year in Review” presentation on the Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council:

• Emergency Management/ Safety Protocols
  • Increase methods and frequency of communication during emergency situations, such as requiring schools to send a text message every email at 10-minute intervals.
  • Add visual alerts to school alarms for hearing impaired or disabled children
• Mental Health
  • Students and families are generally not aware of the free resources available to them in CCSD
  • Annual surveys dedicated to this topic are recommended, including an increase in programming, including two “days of mental wellness” per school year, with mandatory social/emotional check ins.
• Equity and Diversity Efforts
  • Diversity in CCSD is strong and generally students aren’t aware of all the resources available for undocumented children or children who speak English as a second language.
  • Staff diversity doesn’t reflect campus diversity
  • A boost in funding is recommended for cultural education during staff development days and promoting the creation of cultural affinity groups in schools.

A final recommendation is to integrate QR codes or links on campus that direct students to resources that are now available and under-utilized.
