How Sacramento City Unified found ‘lost’ students during distance learning featuring Principal Nate McGill of Ethel I. Baker and Jennifer Kretschman of SCUSD.

As a social worker and as a mother, it was a little bit of panic, right? Like, ‘Oh, what’s happening to these families?’” SCUSD Attendance and Enrollment Specialist Jennifer Kretschman said. “So, first we realize that contact information is vital, right?

Our EL students, or students where English wasn’t their native language, they were disproportionately represented on our unreachable student’s list.”
