Frederick Cafasso Chairman November 15, 22, 2024 The fi rst slide states that “only 17% of students who miss 18 or more days of school in Kindergarten and 1st grades are able to read on grade level after third grade.” Reviewing the English - Language Arts portion of the MCAS for grades 3 - 8, 83% of students are failing to read and write at their grade level. A review of the attendance records for the last two years should be completed to see how many days each student and teacher has missed. The second and third slide both discuss high school drop outs. The second slide states “high school dropouts are almost three times as likely to be unemployed than college graduates.” The third slide states “by sixth grade, chronic absence becomes a leading indicator that a student will drop out of high school.” The Everett Public Schools provides resources to students, paid handsomely at the tax payers expense, in the form of the guidance department. If our dropout rate is increasing annually, where is the explanations of why from the guidance department? Why haven’t they noticed any issues and tried to interject with a student’s performance?

They are also a resource that should be assisting students to succeed in life after their tenure in the Everett Public Schools. The fi nal slide urges reaching out for help, “if you need help, reach out to your child’s teachers, the school guidance counselor, or the school principals!” How can a struggling student reach out to a teacher with a subject issue they have when the teacher is not there to provide assistance? The guidance department should be utilized for diffi cult life matters both in and outside of school and for success after leaving the Everett Public Schools. Parents of students that are struggling, if they are not getting any response from the teachers, should reach out to the principals demanding that the teacher respond to the issues of the students. The school committee and administration need to strictly enforce the teachers’ contract to get the teachers to adhere to what they agreed to. Significant accountability measures must be taken to ensure a strong school district. As we said last week, the limited focus on student outcome is telling.
