[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/olo/resources/files/2010-7_truancy.pdf Truancy and chronic absenteeism report for mcps from 2010. Interestingly, there wasn’t much of a problem. Data highlights it was primarily an issue for black and latino boys. National data says 1 in 4 black and Latino boys are chronically absent. [/quote] Thank you for digging this up! It's so sad how often MCPS becomes aware of a problem, even reports and looks into the problem, and then allows it to fester and become worse and then act like it's a new situation that they now need to spend months and resources studying again to understand. Kennedy had an 8.7% chronically absent rate in 2008 and now it's over 50% in 2023! How did they let it get this bad????[/quote] ? Um…the massive influx in latino newcomers—mostly boys? The school is more than 70% latino today, but that wasn’t the case 10 years ago. The surrounding area has more than its fair share of garden apartments and SFHs that are rented or owned by latinos. It’s not a school problem. It’s a subcultural reality: newcomers and 1st Gen latinos from certain countries aren’t here for the education. [/quote]
