Lee, Coordinator of Indian Education. of the Elementary Secondary Education Act of 1965 is specifically concerned with the education of the academically handicapped students. One factor which seems to correlate very closely with scholarship is that of attendance. Officials in San Juan School District have, for some years, 1 been struggling with this pro- blem. The schools within the district which qualify under Title 1 have a fairly high percentage of Navajo and Ute Indian students from about 25 percent to 75 percent. Over 80 percent of the Title 1 students, or those who are academically deprived, are from these Indian cultures. Attendance records have indicated that these same children have had extremely poor records. San Juan School District ranks considerably above the average of the state for rural districts. The total district enrollment has consistently maintained an attendance record of above 94 percent. In reviewing the situation some time ago it was discovered that the non -- Indian students exceeded 95 percent and the Indian students about 85 percent. This alone could have a very important effect upon the poor achievement. Thus, one of the challenges under the Title 1 Project was to increase the attendance of these academically deprived students; and hopefully, as a result, to improve their scholarship. As can be seen from the accompanying graph, the first part of this challenge has been accomplished, re- markably well. The year preceding the enactment of the Elementary Secondary Education Act the Indian attendance was 85. 7 percent. During the first year of participation this was increased to 88. 7 percent, then to 91.4 percent, and finally to approximately 92 percent. Although this is still below the average of the district as a whole, the gap has been narrowed a great deal. Another interesting fact is that in the 1964-6- 5 school year only one Indian student maintained a perfect attendance record. The following year two students made this accomplishment, i rTPff 1967-6- 8 1966-6- 7 1965-6- 6 By Lynn Title 1 in 1966-6- 7 a total of 15 students had perfect attendance, and this year there were 13 students. It should be kept in mind that less than 100 of these approximately 500 Indian students are not bussed from the Reservation to local public schools. Some are bussed 60 miles, one way. Some of these children walk 5 miles before catching the school bus. Family customs and traditions have been very influential in encouraging absenteeism. Children are often kept home to herd sheep, care for younger children, or to assist older family members. Research has not been completed to verify any academic progress; however, subjective information from classroom 4-- teachers indicates that this area has improved measurably. This increase in percentage of attendace is significant to San Juan School District in as much as the state school finance formula is based on average daily attendance of the children attending the public schools.
