Analysis
KBC's 23% teacher attendance compliance is a crisis. Of 21 teachers with 65 expected periods, only 15 periods were recorded yesterday. Fifteen teachers show critical compliance (0% recorded), and the school has zero teachers maintaining a perfect 7-day streak. This represents a complete breakdown in attendance-taking protocol that directly impacts data quality for student interventions and state reporting. The Current Year Attendance dashboard shows this as an ongoing pattern requiring immediate administrative intervention.
DCHS and DELA both sit at 77% compliance — not crisis-level, but concerning. DCHS has 8 teachers with compliance issues (5 concerning, 3 critical), while DELA shows 11 teachers in the concerning tier. Both schools need systematic follow-up on attendance-taking expectations.
Student-side metrics are stable. Region-wide enrollment continues expected attrition season decline (-16 from Oct 1), with all schools showing modest drops in the -1% to -3% range. Student attendance at 96.0% is strong for a Tuesday. Chronic absence counts remain elevated at DCHS (16.8%, 38 students) but stable week-over-week.
Staffing is quiet: Five total absences region-wide (3.8%) across CO, KBC, BCPS, and DELA. No new hires or departures to report. See the Staff Directory for current roster.
Action Items
- KBC Principal: Immediate intervention required on teacher attendance-taking protocol (15 teachers at 0% compliance)
- DCHS/DELA Leadership: Systematic follow-up with teachers below 90% compliance threshold
- Regional: Consider whether this reflects training gaps, technical barriers, or accountability issues
