Update: Building Bridges--Dropout Prevention, Intervention, and Reengagement. Report to the Legislature
Dixie Grunenfelder; Kefi Andersen; Mandy Paradise
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
Building Bridges is charged with creating a statewide program for comprehensive dropout prevention, intervention, and retrieval (DPIR) programming, and to make annual recommendations to the legislature and the governor on DPIR best practices and system needs. Washington's graduation rate has steadily been increasing since 2021 with 83% of the class of 2023 graduated in four years. Graduation rates have increased for most student groups, and by race and ethnicity. When grouped by race and ethnicity, student groups that may need additional supports include students who are Native American, Alaskan Native, Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander. This year the authors saw a significant drop in students who dropped out for other or unknown reasons dropping from 50% to 40%. The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) began collecting data on students who dropped out due to non-attendance and identified 4,662 students in this category. Building Bridges analyzes who is attending, displaying positive behavior, earning credits, and ultimately graduating. This provides system solutions and insight into the culturally-relevant, timely supports students need. Building Bridges Grants and innovation projects have had positive impacts that are providing additional capacity, infrastructure adjustments, and technical assistance to schools across the state.
