To achieve 99% of the projected enrollment exceeds what most believed to be possible. This shows a high degree of confidence in the district in spite of the efforts of some in the community. Attendance targets of 90% for high schools, 92% for middle schools and 95% for elementary schools are quite ambitious especially when in 2005 total districts attendance was only 89.4% and last year, 2006 only 88.4%. Those new attendance figures are outstanding. Congratulations to the teachers, principals, staff, board members and superintendent who made it happen.
