GRADUATION & DROPOUT RATES

1. Decrease the number of students with IEP’s suspended out of school for over 10 days from the previous year by continuing the implementation of positive behavior programs and expand the use of alternative discipline strategies in our schools. 2. Utilize parent survey data to better address and acknowledge the needs of our students being serviced by Special School District. 3. Monitor goals, targets, and indicators on a regularly scheduled basis, evaluate practices related to measurable outcomes, and adjust practices as needed. 4. Continue to utilize our partnership with Special School District to make improvements in our school based problem-solving teams, the IEP referral process, and transportation practices.
