Supporting Student Participation in 2022-23

To support attendance and engagement of students through the COVID-19 pandemic, the CSDE established a system in September 2020 to collect student-level attendance data on a monthly basis. This collection allows for more detailed reporting of student attendance by district, school, and student group. District-level disaggregated data by student group along with data visualizations are used by CSDE staff to identify and support districts. CSDE is also partnering with the State Education Resource Center (SERC) to build communities of practice and a system of supports for districts that bring together the latest research, national experts, and promising practices. An interactive map and additional data files are also available below.

Monthly Attendance Report

To support attendance and engagement of students as they participate in varied school learning models, the CSDE established a new system to collect student-level attendance data on a monthly basis. This collection allows for more detailed reporting of student attendance by district, school, and student group. The following reports are the monthly summaries for the 2020-21 academic year:



District-level disaggregated data by student group along with data visualizations will be used by CSDE staff to identify and support districts where year-to-date attendance is substantially lower than in the previous school year. CSDE is also partnering with the State Education Resource Center (SERC) to build communities of practice and a system of supports for districts that bring together the latest research, national experts, and promising practices.
