We will continue our discussion about a Drug Prevention Program for all grade levels. Kaye Fenn, Kathi Kardon, Alicia Thomas, Jan Greeman, Tammy Neal, Cindy Hawkins, Joy Mazurek, Maureen Lancaster, Scott Stuller, Shannon McKinley, Melissa Jones, Betty Boubel, Michelle Krapf, and Towner Dismuke. The Council is investigating adult and student attendance. Student attendance was addressed this meeting. Data on adult attendance is unavailable for previous years.
Adult attendance is at goal for the present.
Maureen Lancaster presented, in chart and graph form, findings on student attendance. Attendance began strong in the first six weeks of both years and declined each six week period. It reached the lowest in the fourth six weeks and increased again as the spring progressed. The Council recognizes that the fourth six weeks is a time of respiratory illness in addition to some major holidays. It is hypothesized that families extend vacations at holiday time.
