The gains described in this document are impressive: what changed in two years to make such a difference? What steps are being taken to hand over the responsibility for keeping up with this to site staff over the next period of time? In this light, the strategy maps are quite vague and I hope the presenters will draw the explicit connections between staffing and attendance support activities. On a granular level: do all sites have easily accessisble languge to include in newsletters and emails to inform families of the minimum time at school that will count as attending (and what time the student needs to arrive for the day to cournt), how to ask for a medical appointment that will result in the minimum time missed, and how/who to ask for an independent study packet for an absence that might be a few days? When I worked at the elementary level, I regularly had conversations with parents who weren't aware of what they could do to meet both school and other needs.
