Dropout Prevention and Student Re-Engagement
About Us
The Office of Dropout Prevention and Student Re-Engagement was launched in 2009 and was created to expand efforts in reducing the dropout rate, increasing student engagement in school, and increasing the number of student's meeting graduation and postsecondary/workforce expectations. Through support for school and district strategies, the office works to:
- Improve the graduation and dropout rate each year
- In improving rates, decrease the gaps between individual student groups and overall statewide rates
The Office of Dropout Prevention and Student Re-engagement works in three main areas to accomplish this work.
