Was attendance affected Friday, April 19 by the flooding?

District-wide, compared to the same day last year, there were about seven additional students per grade absent Friday.
Compared to Thursday, Friday had a little over 12 additional absences per grade level district-wide.

We know that any weather event can impact areas of our community differently, which is why we encourage parents to make the final decision that is best for their child's safety given their particular circumstances. In this case the two-hour delay allowed for flooding to recede in a number of areas. Some, however, remained impassable all day.
