Dropout Prevention Indicators
CSISD will...provide an array of services, programs and opportunities to meet the needs of each student, and provide the opportunity for each student to reach his or her full potential.
Background: CSISD is committed to graduating all students no matter if they have been in our district since kindergarten, moved in during middle school, or re-enrolled after dropping out earlier in their school career. We have number of processes in place to help students stay in school. Campuses provide remediation in courses, accelerated instruction where students have struggled and credit recovery for students who have failed one or more classes at the semester. Students behind on credits can participate in summer school, credit by exam and night school. Each comprehensive high school provides supports for students at-risk of dropping out and works collaboratively with those students to develop an individualized graduation plan.

- Continue implementation of positive behavioral support (i.e., Conscious Discipline, Champs) initiatives at all campuses.
- Promote prevention and de-escalation of inappropriate behaviors so learners remain in the classroom setting and do not miss valuable instructional time.
- Develop and monitor four-year graduation plans, providing individualized supports when a student is not progressing towards graduation by their expected date.
