The district reported 3,821 fewer absences and 290 fewer students who were chronically absent compared to the first half of the 2022-23 school year, said Superintendent Josh Englehart. It notched a 2.25 percent increase to the student attendance rate and an 11.28 percent decrease in the chronic absenteeism rate.
