[quote=Anonymous]Here's the first report making some sense of the press conference: https://moco360.media/2023/08/22/new-mcps-attendance-action-plan-to-reevaluate-grading-policies/

[QUOTE]While [b]the plan does not immediately change any existing grading or attendance policies[/b], school officials say those will be reevaluated as part of its implementation.

Attendance rates were gradually declining prior to the COVID-19 pandemic but have doubled since the return to in-person learning, according to Damon Monteleone, associate superintendent of Well-Being, Learning and Achievement. At a press conference Tuesday, he cited national data identifying one in three students as chronically absent.

Superintendent Monifa McKnight said the new MCPS attendance action plan— called All Together Now: In Schools Together, Learn Together, Achieve Together—represents the school district’s effort to “transform our thinking” when it comes to school attendance.[/QUOTE]

Well there you have it. We waited for a plan that changes nothing, but could, eventually, maybe, later, on a school-by-school basis.
