Let Me Add To That...

In this episode, we sit down with two LACOE employees who are the driving forces behind the creation of our Attendance Playbook – the ultimate guide to boost attendance at your schools: Chief of Wellbeing and Support Services, Alicia Garoupa and Senior Program Specialist in Child Welfare and Attendance, Toni Banuelos. The LACOE Attendance Playbook serves as the ultimate guide for school districts looking to enhance attendance rates. We explore how teachers, parents and students can all play pivotal roles in the mission to combat absenteeism, ensuring every child has the opportunity to succeed. Alicia and Toni cover a range of essential topics, including the importance of data tracking to identify attendance patterns, crafting effective action plans and implementing strategies for both prevention and promotion.
