Educators are clashing against a state auditor who reported that several North Carolina school districts failed to comply with student attendance rules during COVID-19.
North Carolina’s state auditor and education leaders are clashing over an audit that found several school districts failed to comply with student attendance laws during the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic. The General Assembly directed the State Auditor Beth Wood’s office in late 2021 to conduct a performance audit that analyzed truancy policies and procedures for six public school districts in light of concerns that 'missing students' stopped attending classes during the pandemic.
Wood’s office, however, said all six districts failed to perform required actions for students with three, six and 10 excused absences during the 2020-21 school year, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported. That year, many students took online classes when schools didn’t provide in-person instruction. Standardized test scores fell during the pandemic but have been recovering.
The audit found that 87% of the students in the Henderson County schools identified as chronically absent during the 2020-21 school year and didn't otherwise leave the system before the year's end were either promoted to the next grade or graduated from high school. Chronically absent was defined as someone who missed 10% or more of the days in which they were enrolled.
