Beginning September 1, RTA teachers must record daily attendance for the students they serve. This data will be collected at the end of the year. If a student moves, successfully exits intervention, qualifies for special education services, moves to a different intervention teacher or is absent from intervention, indicate that on the attendance sheet. A sample attendance sheet is posted on our RTA Web page with additional information provided.
Attendance must be submitted to KDE twice a year. The due dates for submission are February 10th and May 11th.
UPDATE as of 1/23/12:
From January 1, 2012 keep the following attendance information for your RTA kids. Please note the changes in RED.
Coding:
ü-student attended intervention
E-student successfully exited intervention
M-student moved
C-student intervention was changed(student is still receiving intervention, but from a non-RTA teacher)
S-student qualifies for special education services and no longer receives RTA intervention
New coding from 1/1/12 to the end of the year:
TA-Teacher was absent (This is when you are not at school and not working away from school)
TU-Teacher was unavailable (You were working, but unable to provide intervention services. It could be you were at a state conference, in an ARC meeting, etc.)
SA-student was absent from school
SU-student was at school, but unavailable for intervention (This could be caused by a field trip or school assembly)
