Rowland Unified School District • Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

Under the general direction of the Director, Student Services, or designee, the Attendance and Intervention Specialist coordinates and implements District-wide attendance improvement strategies; conducts student and family outreach; provides direct intervention services for chronically absent students; participates in the School Attendance Review Board (SARB) process; and assists in monitoring District-wide attendance data and accountability reporting. The incumbent works collaboratively with site administrators, counselors, teachers, attendance clerks, community agencies, and families to identify barriers to attendance and implement multi-tiered intervention plans with the goal of ensuring all students attend school regularly, meet graduation requirements, and succeed academically. The Attendance and Intervention Specialist is distinguished from other student services classifications by its primary focus on attendance data monitoring, chronic absenteeism intervention, and attendance accountability compliance. Unlike a general Student Services Technician or Community Liaison, this classification requires working knowledge of California Education Code provisions governing attendance and truancy, the SARB process, and multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) frameworks as they apply to attendance improvement. The incumbent operates with significant independence, interfaces regularly with students, families, school sites, and external agencies, and is expected to track and report outcome data aligned to LCAP and state accountability indicators. An employee in this class exercises judgment in identifying appropriate intervention strategies, coordinating referrals, and supporting site and District accountability efforts with minimal day-to-day supervision.
