KBC teacher attendance compliance fell to 8% today, recording just 5 of 65 expected class periods. This marks the fifth consecutive school day below 20% at that building, rendering student attendance data essentially meaningless there.
At a Glance
| School | Enrollment | Δ Oct 1 | Attendance | Chronic Absent | Compliance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| REGION | 1,061 | -23 (-2.1%) | 95.5% | 131 (12.4%) | 55.0% |
| DCHS | 226 | -3 (-1.3%) | 94.2% | 42 (18.6%) | 65.4% |
| DELA | 465 | -10 (-2.1%) | 95.2% | 69 (14.8%) | 77.1% |
| BCPS | 267 | -7 (-2.6%) | 95.8% | 16 (6.0%) | 73.1% |

Today's Focus: Teacher Compliance
KBC's attendance tracking has become functionally inoperable. With just 5 of 65 period-level attendance records taken today (8.9% compliance), the reported 96.9% attendance rate reflects data entry gaps rather than actual student presence. Teachers unmarked in the system default students to present, creating artificially inflated figures.
The Attendance Dashboard shows this isn't an isolated incident — KBC has remained below 20% compliance since December 11th. Secondary schools target 90%+ compliance given their period-by-period structure (~7 classes daily).
In contrast, elementary buildings continue strong performance: DELA at 77% and BCPS at 73%, both well within target ranges for their twice-daily attendance model.
Quick Notes
Enrollment: Stable at 1,061 students, down 23 from October 1 baseline (-2.1%). This tracks expected attrition season patterns as semester closes tomorrow.
Staffing: Light day with 8 staff out region-wide (4.9% rate). See the Staff Dashboard for Friday coverage details. Three pending leave requests await approval.
Chronic Absence: 131 students below 90% attendance year-to-date, concentrated at DCHS (42 students, 18.6% rate).
Still Watching
- KBC compliance (Day 5): Below 20% since December 11th, data reliability compromised
- DCHS chronic absence: Consistent at ~18-19% across multiple weeks
