As family routines shift and student needs evolve, predictability drives attendance as much as operational efficiency does.
District leaders must now align transportation, student services, and executive decision-making to reduce avoidable disruption.
In This Executive Session, You’ll Learn How to:
- View transportation decisions through an attendance lens
- Identify which students face attendance risk from small delays
- Include transportation expertise earlier in IEP, placement, and housing decisions
- Strengthen governance and cross-team communication
- Clarify ownership and escalation to reduce last-minute scrambles
