Below is a table that compares our actual attendance data through the 5th six weeks with the amounts that were used for our budget:
| Earned | Budget | Difference | |
| ADA | 1411.5775 | 1443.09 | -31.5125 |
| HS ADA | 425.97 | 420.7 | 5.27 |
| SE FTE | 53.2254 | 65.174 | -11.9486 |
| Mainstream ADA | 50.054 | 56.748 | -6.694 |
| CATE | 79.3468 | 59.113 | 20.2338 |
| GT Students | 81.4 | 72.15 | 9.25 |
| Comp | 1040.2 | 1010 | 30.2 |
| Bilingual/ESL | 10.13 | 15.03 | -4.9 |
Notes:
CATE = Career and Technology Education (such as ag, consumer and family sciences, certain business classes, and certain technology classes)
Comp = Students eligible for free and reduced meals. This number is derived from the average of the highest six months from the previous federal fiscal year.
The 5th six weeks is the first six weeks this year that our ADA has increased. This is due to our increase in enrollment.
Overall, our attendance rate for the district for the 5th six weeks was 96.35%.
Reminder: We will be hosting a regional qualifiers track meet today. The meet will get underway at 3:30.
Tomorrow we will look at how our attendance numbers are affecting our state funding.
