I can’t think of a better way to have spent Indiana Principals Week than traveling the state to visit schools and educators in Pittsboro, Lebanon, Valparaiso, La Porte, Union Hills, and Hobart! I’d like to give a special shoutout to each of the principals I met with this week, including… Wendy Natalie (Pittsboro Elementary School), Susan Alcorn (Pittsboro Primary School), Tiffany Cox (North Salem Elementary School), Frank Meyer (Lebanon Senior High School), Amber Moore (Perry-Worth Elementary School), Michael Rayson (Parkview Elementary School), Tearsa Schable (Crichfield Elementary), Nick Kimmel (South Central Elementary), and Jarad Miller (South Central Jr./Sr. High School). I look forward to sharing in the coming weeks more about these visits and the work they are leading. And to all of the principals reading this today, thank you for ALL that you do!
During one of the school visits this week, a local reporter asked how we are continuing to work to overcome the academic impacts of the pandemic (and even challenges that existed previously). As states across the nation face similar challenges, here in Indiana, we have deployed a number of tactical solutions to aid in students’ academic recovery, including the Indiana literacy and STEM cadres, the Student Learning Recovery Grant Program, the Indiana Learns tutoring grant program, the Indiana Learning Lab, and a partnership with Schoolhouse.world…just to name a few. Yet, there is another issue that has been in the shadows that schools across the country, and in Indiana, are also facing…making sure students come to school.
As a state, one of our primary areas of focus includes elevating and supporting Indiana’s educators. We know the positive impact that having a high-quality educator in the classroom can make, but that impact is only possible when students come to school. According to a recent article in The New York Times, during the 2022-2023 school year, about one quarter (25%!) of U.S. students qualified as chronically absent. By definition, this means a student has missed at least 10% of school days or about three and a half weeks. By comparison, Indiana’s chronic absenteeism rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 19.3% or nearly one in five.

Additional key takeaways include:
- While the state’s chronic absenteeism rate decreased from the 2021-2022 school year to the 2022-2023 school year, it remains over 8% higher than it was before the pandemic (19.3%).
-
84 schools have 1 in 2 students who are chronically absent.
- Rates of chronic absenteeism are highest amongst students in grades nine through 12, ranging from 21% in grade nine to over 33% in grade 12.
- Student populations who experienced the greatest academic impacts in ELA and math following the pandemic also have greater rates of chronic absenteeism.
- Black students (30.7%), Hispanic students (24.4%), English learners (20.5%), and students eligible for free and reduced lunch (25.9%).
This data further underscores the importance of our collective work to help students recover from the academic impacts of the pandemic and ensure all students have foundational knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the future. It also reinforces the urgency behind our ongoing work to rethink the high school experience, and ultimately, ensure more parents and students see the value in education.
One way that Indiana is elevating the importance of student attendance is through the development of an early warning dashboard that will provide actionable data for educators and families as they work together to support students most at risk of not graduating. For purposes of the dashboard, “at risk” is defined as having less than an 80% chance of graduating on time using historical data. Attendance will be one of several indicators of high importance that will be used in the predictive analytics to determine which students are considered at risk.
Once fully developed, educators will be able to clearly see which students are at risk and why. Data will help determine specific areas of difficulty for students and allow educators to guide additional, timely instruction and support in response. Educators will also be able to export individual indicators and profiles to guide increased discussion and engagement with families. In addition to the new early warning dashboard, attendance is also one of 20 headline indicators elevated as part of the Indiana Graduates Prepared to Succeed (Indiana GPS) performance dashboard.
We anticipate piloting the new early warning dashboard in a number of schools during the 2023-2024 school year, with the dashboard becoming accessible to all schools during the 2024-2025 school year, so stay tuned for additional information!
If you have any successes that are working locally in overcoming chronic absenteeism, we would love to hear from you in order to share with others. As always, thank you for all that you do for our students!
REMINDER: 2023 Mandatory and Voluntary Graduation Rate Audit Window Closes Friday, October 27
The mandatory and voluntary graduation rate audit window is open and will close on Friday, October 27. If you are unsure if your school was selected for the mandatory graduation rate audit, please check the list of mandatory audit schools.
If you would like to request a change to the cohort status of a student in the 2023 cohort, this will need to go through the voluntary graduation rate audit. The voluntary graduation rate audit involves submitting the student on the voluntary graduation rate audit Excel template and submitting the supporting documentation. (Enrollment key: AccountabilityCommunity). The Voluntary Graduation Rate Audit is open to all schools and is the final opportunity to request a change to the 2023 cohort.
If you are submitting a voluntary graduation rate audit and are subject to the mandatory graduation rate audit, submit both audits in the same, single submission. Contact the Indiana Department of Education's (IDOE's) Office of Accountability with any questions.

REMINDER: Resolution of Conflicts for Membership 2023
Beginning with the 2023-2024 school year, IDOE will no longer be brokering the resolution of conflicts after the certification date.

The process for petitioning the Board will be made available this fall and communicated in Dr. Jenner’s Weekly Update. IDOE wants to make sure each school receives full funding for the students they are serving and completes the Membership count within two to three weeks of the count date. This process will help achieve both of these goals. See this memo for a more complete explanation of this change. Contact the Data Exchange Team with any questions.
