Staffing: No changes yesterday. Today's absences: 10 staff region-wide (8.7% rate), including Flora Weathersby, Kim Townsend, Shemeka Jointer, and Sylvia Sutton at DELA (4 absent, 7.6% rate); Jajuana Matlock at KBC (FMLA + Sick); professional leave for Ashley Graham and Monaliza Cayatoc at DCHS.
Critical Issue: KBC Teacher Attendance Compliance
KBC is in crisis territory with only 14 of 65 expected class periods having attendance recorded yesterday (19% compliance). 18 of 20 teachers have critical compliance (<50%), with many showing 0% compliance. This represents a systemic failure in attendance-taking that requires immediate principal intervention.
For detailed teacher-level data and historical patterns, see the Current Year Attendance dashboard.
DCHS and DELA also show concerning compliance (71% and 83% respectively), with 5 critical-compliance teachers at DCHS and 8 concerning at DELA. Only BCPS meets the 90%+ standard at 96%.
Enrollment & Attendance
The 13-student decline since October 1 is expected attrition season behavior as we approach Thanksgiving break. Breakdown: DELA (-7), KBC (-3), DCHS (-2), BCPS (-1). This aligns with historical patterns for mid-November.
Student attendance remains strong at 96.2% region-wide, consistent with typical Wednesday performance. DCHS chronic absence (17.6%) continues to run above the ~15% baseline, though student daily attendance (94.7%) is acceptable. KBC shows exemplary metrics on both fronts: 97.7% daily attendance and only 2.9% chronic absence.

Action Required
Immediate: KBC principal needs to address systemic attendance-taking failure. 18 teachers with critical compliance represents either a training gap, a technical issue, or non-compliance that affects ADA reporting accuracy.
Watch: DCHS and DELA compliance trends. If either school drops below 70%, escalate to building leadership.
