2012 RRISD Parent Climate Survey Opens

Impact of Student Absences on Round Rock ISD
When a student is absent from school, what is the impact?

For Round Rock ISD, it is $34.41 – a relatively small number until it is 
multiplied by the number of students absent on an average day (1,800) for a 
total loss in funding of $61,938 per day. With 175 instructional days in a 
school year, this totals to roughly $10.8 million in loss of funding due to 
student absenteeism.

During last year’s budget crunch, the community continually asked for ways to 
help provide more funding to the district. One very simple way, and one of 
extreme value to students, is to ensure that all students are in class every 
day possible. This will enable all students to receive the required 
instruction to reach success, while also helping the district to receive 
state funding (which is based on average daily attendance rates). Under 
current funding formulas, a 1% increase in attendance would increase state 
funding by roughly $2.7 million.

Check the District’s website and subscribe to the District E-News to see 
periodic messages about the importance of daily attendance. Also, follow 
Round Rock ISD on Twitter @Round Rock ISD.
