| Abstract: | In compliance with D.C. Code § 38-203(i), DC Public Schools (DCPS) shares in this report a summary of the District's overall attendance metrics and compliance rates for School Year (SY) 2024-2025. As required, the report reflects: (1) the number of minors with unexcused absences, categorized by grade, or equivalent grouping for ungraded schools; (2) a discussion of the efforts of the school-based student support teams to reduce unexcused absences; (3) the number of minors, categorized by grade, or equivalent grouping for ungraded schools, that the school reported to the Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) pursuant to D.C. Code § 4-1321.02(b)(1)(B); (4) the number of minors categorized by grade, or equivalent grouping for ungraded schools, referred for truancy to the Court Social Services Division (CSSD) of the Family Court of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia; and (5) the policy on absences used, including defined categories of valid excuses. DCPS' overall in-seat attendance (ISA) rate declined by 0.2 percentage points, truancy rate increased by 1.6 percentage points, and the rate of chronic absenteeism increased by 1.3 percentage points between SY23-24 and SY24-25. |
