Addition to 9.15.15 Agenda 5E <br />PROCLAMATION <br />DESIGNATING THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, 2015, AS <br />ATTENDANCE AWARENESS MONTH <br />WHEREAS, chronic absence — defined as missing 10 percent or more of school, just <br />two or three days a month, for any reason, whether excused or unexcused -- is a proven <br />predictor of academic trouble and dropout rates; and <br />WHEREAS, improving attendance and reducing chronic absence takes commitment, <br />collaboration, and tailored approaches to particular challenges and strengths in each <br />community, and <br />WHEREAS, chronic absence predicts lower third-grade reading proficiency, course <br />failure, and eventual dropout, it weakens our communities and our local economy; and <br />WHEREAS, schools and community partners can reach out more frequently to absent <br />students to determine why they are missing school and what would help them attend more <br />regularly; and <br />WHEREAS, chronic absence can be significantly reduced when schools, parents, and <br />communities work together to monitor and promote good attendance and address hurdles that <br />keep children from getting to school. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY <br />COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA that the Board designates the <br />month of September, 2015, as "Attendance Awareness Month". The Board urges the <br />community to commit to focusing on reducing chronic absenteeism to give all children an <br />equitable opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive academically, emotionally and socially. <br />Adopted this 15th day of September, 2015. <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, <br />INDI N RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />�Wesley S Da , Cairman <br />Bob Solari, Vice C <br />Peter D.
