Colton Joint Unified School District’s model School Attendance Review Board (SARB) was recognized by the San Bernardino County Board of Education at its meeting on Aug. 3. Colton’s program was recognized by the California Department of Education as a state model School Attendance Review Board for the 2014-15 academic year. Local and county SARB are created by school districts and county offices of education to identify and assist students with attendance problems that may be due to chronic illness, truancy, transportation problems, disabilities, or behavioral health issues. The statewide model award recognizes excellence in specific content areas, including community collaboration and measuring and reporting outcomes for chronic absenteeism and overall district attendance. For more information about the meeting or Colton’s SARB, contact San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools’ Communications office at 909.386.2413.
