COVID and Lovejoy ISD

An increase of 1% in our yearly ADA can fund the salaries of 3 teachers. Although it may seem insignificant that the district loses $50 a day when a student is absent, consider the impact when 250 students are absent across the district and the district loses $12,500. Multiply that by 15 days and it is a loss of $187,500. The impact is significant.
