About 36,000 LA Unified Students Missing From First Week of School

Epoch Times:
About 36,000 students enrolled in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD)—the second largest school district in the United States—were absent from the first week of school, according to data released by the district.

The data shows 89 percent of students attended the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 15. That number rose slightly to 91.8 percent the following day, climbed to 92.8 percent on Wednesday, and reached its peak at 92.9 percent on Thursday before falling slightly to 91.9 percent on Friday.

This makes for an average attendance rate of 91.7 percent for the first week.

The first day’s attendance rate was 12 percent up from the 77 percent on the first day of the previous school year.

After nearly half of LAUSD students, or about 200,000, were found in April to be “chronically absent”—defined as having missed more than nine percent of their classes—Superintendent Alberto Carvalho implemented a strategy to reconnect students, including visiting their homes over the summer.
