But they fell short of their ambitious targets, aiming for 5-point districtwide and 8-point group increases to hit 79% by 2028. Now, the state’s new accountability plan under SB 141 sets a more modest 6-point goal over three years — less than half their original vision — with no extra funding to help. Officials credit progress to better family engagement and targeted support, though attendance dipped later in the year as absences accumulated.
