Student absences have budget impacts for schools
The problem here being that in the past hundred years we have gone from a situation where federal and state sources funded less that 15%, to a condition today where >50% comes for federal and state. Local districts have to jump through the truancy hoops to keep Uncle Sam's spigot turned on and their administrator, staff, oh and teachers on the payroll.For Santa Rosa City Schools, by far the largest school district in Sonoma County, a 1 percent fluctuation in attendance has an impact of approximately $837,000 a year. In 2011-12, a slight uptick in attendance meant $54,000 in added revenue from the prior year.
District-wide, only 4 percent of elementary school students are absent on an average day. In high school, the rate is 5 percent.
