Beginning in the summer of 2024, The SOURCE worked with all seven of Elkhart County's school corporations on an attendance campaign, more commonly known as the "Be Campaign." The goal of this campaign was to highlight chronic absenteeism, which was greatly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Indiana, the goal is for every student to be in school 94% of the time. In 2023, our county was nearly 5% below where we needed to be.

We are excited to announce that updated numbers from last year show significant improvement of school attendance. Elkhart County's chronic absenteeism decreased by 2.1%! Additionally, the number of children passing IREAD also increased. As another school year is underway, we want to remind our community about the importance of being in school! Let's keep working to improve our attendance and our scores!
