In our interview, we asked Bruce Chaffin about:
- The 33″ of rain that Livingston Parish got in a 24-hour span, and the impact it had on the district
- The financial impact the district faced, and steps Livingston Parish Public Schools is taking to rebuild
- Using gamification with principals to reduce teacher absences
- How the district saved $63,000 on substitute costs in the first 19 days of school in August 2017, compared with the same time frame 2 years earlier
- The impact this reduction in teacher absences has had on student achievement
- What they have learned about using data to make strategic decisions
- March, we caught up with Bruce at the Frontline Insights Summit in Orlando, and had a chance to find out what’s happening with the rebuilding effort now in 2019, and whether they have continued to see the same impact on teacher attendance and student achievement that they did initially. Stay tuned at the end of the episode for that conversation.
