<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Software issues in Quarter 1 prevented Daily Attendance from loading into NEO reports; therefore, Quarter 1 validation will be included in the Quarter 2 validation period for both Daily Attendance and Truancy,
so data listed in this report for Attendance and Truancy must include all data from July 1 to December 31.
