Story Behind the Curve
For FY23: This measure has improved in FY23 (14) compared to FY22 (11) and FY21 (10). The program struggles to meet the 30+ day threshold for students due to after-school activities and sports. Transportation is also an ongoing issue for the program and a top concern for Local Management Board members.
For HFY1 23: This measure is trending downward compared to data for all of the fiscal year 2022.
