Will introduce plans for current year at October meeting.

Reported school attendance is still recovering post-pandemic. Murray High School and Parkside Elementary are the two schools struggling the most.

Noted Murray School District is about in the middle of all state school districts in chronic absenteeism. By 2028, MCSD wants to be back at 90% of kids regularly attending school with the goal of increasing of about 4% per year. Superintendent stressed need for teachers to add value to students coming to school and to let students know they are seen and heard and missed and to emphasize in-person relationship with students. Board members expressed concern that some parents may think students can do everything on the computer.

Reported on Parent/Family Engagement Policy to include all parents, including those who don’t speak English. A model policy was provided and compared to existing MCSD policy, which indicated that much of the policy was in place and MCSD already has many tools. The policy part that does not allow family members under 18 to provide translation was major point of discussion. This portion will be looked at to ensure MCSD compliance.

• Notifies parents when student is age 17 that student will be age of majority at 18 and will have rights transferred to them unless parents successfully petition for guardianship.

• Requires MCSD to do evaluation of home schooled and private school students in district.
