The Columbus Municipal School District's Dropout Prevention and School Restructuring Plan aims to prepare students for college, workforce, or enlistment by building bridges among students, parents, the community, and all district employees. The plan focuses on reducing dropout rates by improving student attendance, decreasing K-2 retention rates, and lowering suspension rates. Strategic pillars include providing targeted academic interventions, implementing Positive Behavior Supports and Social Emotional Learning, facilitating transitions for students from juvenile detention, and offering dropout recovery programs for students aged 17-21. The plan's vision is student-centered and excellence-driven, with long-term goals to significantly increase the graduation rate to 95% by 2027-2028 and improve ACT scores.
