E3 Alliance brings education and community partners together to understand the data, identify clear success metrics, and then take collective action to improve the education system. We convene education peers across districts, higher education, and the community through our two-year Peer Learning Networks (PLNs) and Data Steering Committees. At the 2024 E3 Alliance Summit, Attendance PLN partner, Pflugerville ISD, reported their success using data and technology to test a new attendance strategy. This new communication strategy improved attendance for 61% of pilot program students (including 813 prevented absences) and prevented a loss of $28,469 in average daily attendance funding. We're so proud of our partner districts and all the amazing work they're doing to improve educational outcomes for all students.
