LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

MEMORANDUM

TITLE: Accurate Attendance Accounting in Secondary Schools

NUMBER: MEM-4817.0

ISSUER: Dave Holmquist, Chief Operating Officer

Judy Elliott, Chief Academic Officer

DATE: July 15, 2009

Secondary School

Principals

PURPOSE As we start the 2009-2010 school year, it is important that schools establish and

maintain good practices for attendance accounting. Secondary schools have beenutilizing LAUSDMAX for online student attendance for several years, yet a

significant number of teachers/educators continually fail to submit electronic

attendance or submit inaccurate information. Such poor attendance accountingpractices cause inaccurate submission of ADA data to the California Department

of Education (CDE), increasing the likelihood of an audit. An audit may lead to

penalties imposed on the District as well as a significant loss of revenue.

MAJOR

CHANGES:This is a new memorandum

PROCEDURES: School site administrators are accountable for producing and maintaining timely

and accurate student data. The principal is responsible for monitoring staff to

ensure that accurate attendance is submitted. Instructions for schooladministrators on how to monitor student attendance submission and clearing of

absences is provided in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.2.1 of the ISIS Phase 1 Attendance

Procedures Handbook (v2.0). School administrators and local districtsuperintendents are to visitISIS Stats-at-a-Glance to monitor attendance patterns

at their schools, particularly by reviewing the statistics for Attendance Not

Submitted. Information on how to use this tool is provided in the ISIS Stats-at-a-Glance Flyer and the ISIS Stats-at-a-Glance Reference Guide. The attached

sheet summarizes the location of these resources on the ISIS website

(http://isis.lausd.net).

Please use the resources cited to assist you in monitoring and improvingattendance submission practices at your school. Your commitment to accurate

attendance accounting is crucial to your schools attendance plan.
