Please provide a way for (Long Term Independent Study) School to utilize the LCAP Dashboard for Chronic Absenteeism when having to use the Incomplete/Verified Not Absent code.

"Independent Study Attendance Letters" is another idea that's related to this one - PLEASE VOTE FOR IT TOO! For Ind. Study, the Attendance Letters need to be based on Chronic Absenteeism/ Attendance Rates, which is NOT reported anywhere in Aeries because of the way it handles the Verified Not Absent codes.

Just found out at the CALPADS Quarterly Meetings that the formula for determining Chronic Absenteeism has changed. Please update the Analytics LCAP Dashboard - Attendance % (chronic vs non chronic) to include the new formula which includes Independent Study ADA.

We have requested the formula behind the dashboard be looked at. Instead of using the total absences with the enrollment count, to use the present count with the enrollment count. Since Incomplete/Verified Not Absent code is not counted as an "Absent" it would be best to use the present count in the calculation. This change would allow to use the chronic absenteeism dashboard for both "regular" school and independent study schools.
