Recognition of School Attendance Incentive Program Award Winners (Curriculum and Instruction Division)

We are pleased to recognize thirty-seven schools and two area directors for their outstanding achievement in maintaining high attendance percentages for the 2006/2007 school year. In addition, we will recognize three students for achieving thirteen years of perfect attendance in Grades K through 12.

Seven years ago, Deputy Superintendent Beth Shields initiated an attendance incentive program for schools that meet or exceed the district goal of 96% attendance annually.

• Schools who met this goal will be awarded with either a flag (1st and 5th years) or a colored streamer for subsequent years.
• The schools achieving the highest percentage of attendance at the elementary, middle, and high school levels will be presented with the Beth Shields Attendance Recognition Award.
• The area directors with the highest attendance average and the highest attendance gains will be awarded a flag with a streamer.
• Three students achieving thirteen years of perfect attendance for Grades K through 12 will be presented with a clock.

We are very proud of the accomplishment of all of our schools and students.

Goal 5 - The district will close the FCAT achievement gap by a minimum of 10 percentage points as reported by No Child Left Behind.

Funds of $1457.58 from the 2006/2007 Adult and Community Education general operating budget were used to provide the flags, streamers, certificates and clocks.
