Re: NYC- school closures, school attendance rates
I searched quite a while to find the normal attendance rate and this was the best I came up with from:
New York State Education Department
Summary of Charter School Renewal Information
Summary of Applicant Information
(for Williamsburg Charter High School)
New York City Community School District 14, Brooklyn
Of course, that is averaged out over the full year. I think we need to see last year's attendance to know how much of an impact the flu is having.
