FAIRFIELD – Solano County Office of Education has joined a nationwide initiative to celebrate Attendance Awareness Month in September, to raise awareness about the value of regular school attendance, with a focus on reducing chronic absenteeism in the new school year.
This year’s countywide Stuff the Bus campaign, held June 28 – July 28, 2018, proved to be another huge success. Backpacks continued to arrive through mid-September. Due to this outpouring of our local community, we were able to collect 761 backpacks for our homeless and foster youth, an increase from the 312 backpacks collected in 2017. “We appreciate the commitment from our Solano County community partners. Together we are working to create opportunities for our deserving youth,” says Solano County Superintendent of Schools Lisette Estrella-Henderson.
