Time at the workshop will be spent analyzing data and developing strategies so it is important to have as many members of the team as possible so the plan can be developed collectively. District-level staff that play supportive roles around attendance may also benefit from participating. It is recommended a team of 3-5 members attend the training to work collaborative to begin a strategic plan to support Chronic Absenteeism in your building. Bring at least one laptop for your team and directions will be sent on how to down-load the needed data from E-School(COGNOS) prior to the workshop to bring with you.
