We will continue to work with MOEC, the school districts, and AttendanceWorks to collaborate on addressing truancy in our schools at the elementary and middle school levels. During the 2022-2023 school year 20.8% of middle school children and 12.5% of elementary school children were missing more than 20 days of the school year. In our meetings in 2024 we identified the partners that needed to be at the table and started narrowing down the list of reasons children were missing school. We will collectively work to narrow the list down to the top three reasons and we will work together to address these "reasons", work to prevent them from being reasons for future children, and decrease the percentage of children missing more than 20 days.

As we continue to collect data around the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, we have identified that households are not achieving sustainability like we had hoped. We believe this is attributed to the lack of accountability they were required to have in achieving short-term goals through their housing assessments and the lack of coaching that was available to help them be accountable. As families continue to reach out for housing supports (food, utilities, rent, etc.) we will work toward improving our coaching program as we provide coaching to the family to help in reaching sustainability.
