Seattle Public Schools High School Graduation Initiative

Start Dates: 2010
PI(s): Margaret Kuklinski
Funding: Seattle Public Schools

Project Description

SDRG is working with the Seattle Public Schools (SPS) to evaluate the High School Graduation Initiative, which aims to reduce risk, increase protection, and improve attendance, behavioral issues, and academic performance in students at risk of dropping out of school. Under this project, SPS will address student needs with an array of evidence-based interventions and implement them with fidelity at several middle and high schools. It will also offer case management services to middle and high school students at high risk of truancy and drop out.
