October forum
The High School Story—What Do Graduation Rates Tell Us and Can We Move the Needle?
By most accounts, Oregon is failing. Our graduation rates are 49th in the nation, with only about 72% of Oregonians graduating in 4 years. What is behind this statistic and does this number tell the full story? How bad is it really and why? Are our kids being adequately prepared for college, business and the real world?
In this forum, we’ll take a dive in to the numbers to analyze which areas within Central Oregon are gettingit right, and how they’re doing it. We’ll discuss innovation versus sustainability, address community culture, and how one district is beating the odds.
Speakers:
- Stefanie Garber, Superintendent & Elementary Principal, Culver School District
- Mike McIntosh, Superintendent, Redmond School District
- Katie Condit, Executive Director Better Together
