Declining enrollment scares me so much.

What is going to happen to all these kids? I see it in my 10th grade classroom. Students claim they are unenrolling to attend an online school only to return later having not attended any such school. Now, "I'm going online" is just code for "I'm dropping out."

Wow, Jenna, I hadn't heard that, yet. It's totally unreal.

I've been noodling on how we can be more explicit about the connection between engagement, absenteeism, and enrollment. The data are telling a clear story, but we haven't actually woven these pieces together in a broader call to action.
