Slashing Dropout Rate Key to Turnaround in Mass. District

Education Week/ Denisa R. Superville/ May 5, 2015





Article Link

The graduation rate for this district was abysmally low until the state took over and launched an intensive intervention, graduation rates are now climbing.  A lot of this success can be attributed to the hands on support given by the districts "scholar re-engagement manager". She will visit and help each student create a plan to lead them to graduation.

Intended Audience: Student Services Directors, Administration, Superintendents

Relevance: After looking at dropout rates for Russian students, and other students in general, I understand how important it is to seek out those who might have felt alienated from school and get them into programs to get them to graduate so they can find success.
