Dropout Prevention and Student Re-Engagement

About Us

The Office of Dropout Prevention and Student Re-Engagement was launched in 2009 and was created to expand efforts in reducing the dropout rate, increasing student engagement in school, and increasing the number of student's meeting graduation and postsecondary/workforce expectations. Through support for school and district strategies, the office works to:

• Improve the graduation and dropout rate each year
• In improving rates, decrease the gaps between individual student groups and overall statewide rates

The Office of Dropout Prevention and Student Re-engagement works in three main areas to accomplish this work.

Join the Challenge!

The Office of Dropout Prevention and Student Re-engagement partners with other CDE offices, organizations, BOCES, districts, and schools.

This effort is authorized by Colorado Revised Statute 22-14-101 and builds on the state's commitment to ensure graduation and school success for all students and re-engaging out of school youth.
