Gohl Chief Academic Officer VIA: Valerie S. Wanza, Ph.D. Chief School Performance & Accountability Officer SUBJECT: STUDENT ATTENDANCE IN BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 2017-18 THROUGH 2019-20 (Attendance for 2019-20 through March 13, 2020) Broward County Public School’s overall average daily attendance rate (ADA) increased by 0.3 percentage points between the 2017-18 (93.7%) and 2019-20 (94.0%) school years. This increase was due in part to the Coronavirus outbreak that led to the closure of physical schools on March 13, 2020. Physical attendance was only taken up to March 13, 2020 and this report only charts attendance up to that date. This likely led to an increased ADA for 2019-20 because student absences tend to drop off in the last quarter of the school year. The ADA rate was similar for elementary, middle, and multi-level schools (ranging from 95.1% to 95.7%) in 2019-20. High schools were lower (93.3%), and centers showed the lowest ADA rate (65.7%). During the most recent school year, ADA rates were the same for Black, Hispanic, and White students (93.9%, 94.0%, and 94.1%, respectively). However, absences varied by type for each group. Of all absences recorded, Black students had the largest proportion of unexcused (compared to excused) absences (66.4%) followed by Hispanic (51.8%) and White students (37.1%). Broward data for the 2019-20 school year were examined using the attendance categories that align with the School Improvement Plans. The categories are: Regular Attenders (0 – 4.9% absences), At-Risk (5 – 9.9% absences), Chronic Absence (10 – 19.9% absences), and Severe Chronic Absenteeism (20% or more absences). For students categorized as having either chronic or severe chronic absenteeism, middle schools had the smallest proportion of students (10.7%), followed by multi-level (13.2%), elementary (13.7%), high (22.4%), and centers (78.4%). Questions regarding this report should be addressed to Richard Baum, Director of Student Assessment & Research at 754-321-2500.

RWR/DG/VSW/RGB/RAA/JAC:rs Attachments cc: School Board Members Senior Leadership Team Directors, Office of School Performance & Accountability The School Board of Broward County, Florida Research Brief ©2020, The School Board of Broward County, Florida Number 201 Report from the Office of the Superintendent July 2020 STUDENT ATTENDANCE IN BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS 2016-17 THROUGH 2019-20 (ATTENDANCE FOR 2019-20 THROUGH MARCH 13, 2020) This brief summarizes attendance trends in Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) for the three school-year period from 2017-18 to 2019-20 at both innovative district and charter schools. Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, all attendance data related to the 2019-20 school year in this report is based on physical classroom attendance records ending on March 13, 2020. METHOD Data from all three school years, excluding summers, were gathered from the District’s data warehouse. For each school year, the total population reflects the number of students in grades kindergarten through 12 who attended a BCPS school for at least five days during the year. Student absences are credited to the school the student attended the most during that school year. Absences are classified as excused (parent/guardian notified the school), unexcused (no parent/guardian notified the school), or suspension (external suspension). Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, students’ physical classroom attendance for 2019-20 ends on March 13, 2020. Students’ daily login status to their virtual learning that began on March 30, 2020 to the end of the school year is not presented in this report. Thus, this report includes only those dates up to March 13, 2020. Results are presented in figures and tables, and additional materials are included in appendices. OVERALL ATTENDANCE The overall District average daily attendance (ADA) rate increased from 93.7% in 2017-18 to 94.0% in 2019-20. Figure 1 illustrates the ADA rate by school level for the three-year period (also see Appendix A). Student Assessment & Research 1 | P a g e Average Daily Attendance Rate 100 94.9 94.9 95.1 95.2 95.4 95.7 95.0 95.2 95.3 93.7 93.8 94.0 91.9 93.1 93.3 90 80 68.4 70 65.6 65.7 60 2017-18 50 2018-19 40 2019-20 30 20 Average Average Daily Attendance Rate 10 0 Elementary Middle High Multi Center Overall Figure 1. Average daily attendance rate, by school level, 2017-18 through 2019-20. Figure 2 shows the average number of days absent per student by school level for the three-year period. Historically, high school students averaged more days absent than middle, elementary, and multi-level students. Over the three-year period the average number of recorded absences decreased at all school levels from 2017-18 to 2019-20. Students at centers averaged more than three times as many days absent than students at the high school level (also see Appendix B). The lowered average absences per student is in large part an effect of cutting the 2019-2020 school year off in this report on March 13, 2020 as the number of days possible to be absent decreased in 2019-2020. Also, traditionally the number of student absences increase after Spring State testing, which did not take place in 2019-2020. 50.0 47.2 Average Absences Per Student 44.5 40.0 35.8 30.0 2017-18 Days 20.0 2018-19 13.3 11.9 2019-20 8.4 8.8 8.0 7.9 8.4 8.4 8.2 10.0 6.2 5.4 5.9 0.0 Elementary Middle High Multi Centers Figure 2. Average number of absences per student, by school level, 2016-17 through 2018-19. Table 1 displays the average daily attendance rate by race/ethnicity for the three-year period. For the District, the ADA increased with slightly less than a one percentage point difference (0.3 percentage points) between 2017-18 and 2019-20. Black, Hispanic, and White students all had relatively the same average daily attendance rate (93.9, 94.0, and 94.1, respectively) in the 2019- Student Assessment & Research 2 | P a g e 20 school year. In all three years, Asian students had the greatest average daily attendance rate (also see Appendix C).

  • Next Move Program, a Partnership with the National Scholastic Chess Foundation, to Introduce Chess in Schools and Communities
    The Broward County Schools and Communities Scholastic Chess Initiative NEYearX 1 TReportM – MayO 2015VE As part of its innovative teaching initiative, the Broward Education Foundation supports and promotes the Next Move program, a partnership with the National Scholastic Chess Foundation, to introduce chess in schools and communities. The study of chess improves concentration and self-discipline, encourages socialization skills that extend across cultures and generations, and en- hances development of critical thinking skills, a vital component for success in the 21st century. • The first step of the program is to have more peo- ple who can teach basic chess so that thousands of students can be introduced to the game. In the fall of 2014, NSCF created “Demystifying Chess: A Thinking Skills Workshop” to train educa- tors to teach the basics of chess at any grade level. The training includes two days of instruction plus additional online and text resources. Students in the chess club at New River Middle School can also participate in Coach Garcia’s chess lunch when he gets to play against the kids as well as have them play each other. Mr. Garcia, a 7th grade science teacher, says next year he will have to break the chess lunch pro- gram into two groups to meet demand! At New River Middle School, 7th grade science teacher Mateo Garcia started a club on Friday mornings before school. One 8th grade kid, a “soc- cer star,” was being teased for “joining the nerds” NSCF executive director and chess master Sunil Weera- but in just a few months has become one of the top mantry leads a class of 35 summer program teachers at players.
