The Impact of Absences on the Student Budget

Please take a moment to read about the impact of student absences...

We understand that from time to time, emergencies and illnesses occur, and for these reasons, students must be absent. Today, January 31, 2020, 36 students were absent from school. This resulted in an unfortunate loss of approximately $2,400. Over time, this money adds up. Taking this daily average over the school days in the month of January 2020 has resulted in the loss of approximately $43,000--- just in January alone! This money could go to funding specialty enrichment programs, like the fine arts, and additional staff to support the learning of the students at Monroe-- like instructional assistants for the classroom. Please make sure you bring your child to school each day and only keep them home in emergency and illness situations!
