EduTechGuys

EduTechGuys is a high-intensity rollercoaster ride of super fun which takes mortal form in the two distinct entities which are David Henderson and Jeff Madlock. Crafted in the fires of Mt. Wannahockaluggie, these two self-proclaimed high priests of edtech first started navigating the world of educational technology on the web through a podcast, over a ravine in a rainstorm in 2015 (Sharkbait, ooh ha ha). Since then the two have traveled the nation bringing their joy for silly puns and more importantly sharing the journey of each educator they encounter.

    Jessica Hull - Roseville City School District

    On today’s episode the guys talk with Jessica Hull, the Executive Director of Communication and Community Engagement for Roseville City School District. After the pandemic, the spike in chronic absenteeism is something that Roseville City School District, located in the Sacramento metropolitan area, has found success in addressing through positive school-home relationship building. The district serves 12,000 students across grades PreK-8. In 2019, the district's chronic absenteeism rate was just 5.8%. By 2022, after pandemic learning disruptions, that level rose to 26%. The district wanted to better understand patterns in attendance and work to educate and inform families on the impact of missing school. By partnering with SchoolStatus, a provider of K-12 data-driven solutions, the district worked to remove barriers for families and make it easier for students to attend school. In 2023, Roseville was able to bring the chronic absenteeism rate down to 19.7% and they are projecting that the rate for 2024 will be between 10 and 11%.
