Lamar County School District Dropout Prevention Plan 2025-2026
This Dropout Prevention Plan outlines strategies to achieve four overarching goals: decreasing the dropout rate, increasing attendance and reducing truancy, reducing discipline referrals and suspensions, and providing high-quality academic classes across all schools. Key initiatives include reducing K-2 retention rates, targeting at-risk subgroups for graduation support, fostering a safe and nurturing school culture through Professional Learning Communities, standards-aligned teaching, and Social Emotional Learning, and developing comprehensive dropout recovery plans for students aged 17-21, as well as clear transition protocols for students returning from juvenile detention centers.
