1. Digitally Tracking Student Truancy
This workshop will review how Corcoran Unified School District “CUSD” identifies,
tracks and reports student truancy. We believe having accurate data will provide the
information needed to identify and deter potential truants. We will review different
programs used to track the data and how this data is retrieved for analysis and reporting
by staff members at all levels.
