Trustees Accepted a Report on Focus: 2024 Strategic Plan Regarding Student Discipline and Chronic Absenteeism

Student suspensions rose in the 2023-24 school year, with 30,326 suspensions (an increase over 2022-23’s 29,791 suspensions). This number represents a six-year high on suspensions (although 2020-21 data is not comparable due to COVID-related school closures). There was a rise in suspensions in the third quarter of the 2023-24 school year. Middle schools represented 17,363 suspensions, high schools represented 9,602 suspensions, and elementary schools represented 3,361 suspensions. Student suspensions continue to disproportionately impact several student groups.

Discretionary expulsions decreased in the 2023-24 school year, with 1,313 discretionary expulsions (a decrease from 2022-23’s 1,434 expulsions). Discretionary expulsions exceeded 2023-24 targets in all student groups.

Challenges identified include offering large-scale professional learning opportunities and developing appropriate data-sharing policies with community partners to strengthen support. Successes identified include a revised CCSD Pre-K-Grade 12 Student Code of Conduct, establishing an effective communication network with the Department of Juvenile Justice, and increasing use of restorative practices.

Next steps include professional learning for discipline administrators, implementing a mandatory student identification badge and signal-blocking pouch initiatives for secondary schools, collaborating with middle school principal supervisors to identify concerning trend data and school procedures, and personalized administrator professional learning sessions at identified middle schools. Student town falls will also be an ongoing effort.

Chronic absenteeism dropped in the district, from 36% in the 2022-23 school year to 30.9%. District attendance enforcement officers completed over 38,000 home visits over the 2023-24 school year. Additionally, over 12,000 students maintained perfect attendance throughout the school year. Lessons learned include that chronic absenteeism is most effectively addressed when focusing on the root causes of the absenteeism, and engaging multiple school and family stakeholders in addressing causes of chronic absenteeism.

Trustees Approved a Notice of Intent to Adopt, Repeal, or Amend Regulation 2130 – District Organization

Trustees approved amendments to Regulation 2130, regarding District Organization, in response to legislation that took effect July 1. The changes include:

• Requiring a School Organizational Team (SOT) approve a school’s plan of operation by at least 75% of the SOT’s voting members present for the vote, or developed or approved by the Superintendent
• Removing language around an advisory role of the SOT relating to the school’s plan of operation
• Changing the composition of the SOT by adding the principal of the school as a voting member and modifying the total number of SOT members from 6-12, to 7-13 members, in one of three possible combinations to account for an additional parent member of the SOT (in order to ensure the required 50% parent composition of an SOT)
• Adding references to Regulation 1140.1 relating to parent and family engagement and school culture investigations and the role of the SOT in those processes
