RAPSA members are signing on to a letter advocating that the new ESSA regulations include a one year graduation rate for schools serving reengaged dropouts and other over age under credit students.
The letter also calls for explicitly authorizing differentiated accountability for schools serving at promise students. The current regulations will result in any high school that does not graduate 67% of its students being subject to state intervention. According to Dr. Russell Rumberger’s book, Dropping Out, the diploma rate for schools that serve former dropouts is below 20%.
Take a look at the letter and either send it on your own letterhead or e-mail Ernie Silva if you would like to be included in the signature block. Hurry the deadline is August 1, 2016.
