CSD to focus on daily attendance

One of the fundamental back-to-school challenges is to get students to keep coming back each day of the school year. The Coeur d’Alene School District kicks off its new year today with a campaign to reduce chronic absenteeism and stress how regular attendance is essential for academic achievement. School Board Chairwoman Christa Hazel talked about the “Make Every Day Count” campaign at a gathering of district teachers and staff last week at Lake City High School. “Ask your families to encourage their student to participate,” Hazel said. “Not only is the goal to help each student be successful in the classroom, attendance plays a key role in our district’s financial health as our state funding is based on average daily attendance”/ Scott Maben , SR.
