Our spring virtual meeting will be held on Thursday, January 29, 2026, from 9:00 am – 11:30 am. This collaborative platform allows you to meet your fellow SARB Chairpersons representing Districts across LA County and receive relevant updates and resources.   

Dr. Jennifer Kottke, Project Director II with LACOE’s Homeless Education Program, will share strategies, resources, and updates on supporting McKinney-Vento students to improve their attendance. With her extensive knowledge and expertise in Homeless Education, Dr. Kottke brings valuable insights to this session. 

Additionally, esteemed partners from EveryDay Labs will present targeted and intensive attendance strategies specifically designed for SARB Chairs, with the goal of boosting attendance among students who are chronically absent. The session covers a systematic approach to using Barrier Assessments and creating Attendance Improvement Plans in partnership with students and their families.
