Reminder of why it matters
Each student that fails to graduate will cost thestate $524,000 in lost taxes and increasedsocial/health costs (DPS class of 2010 willcost CO $1.2 B)
70% of CO jobs in 2020 will require a careercertificate or degree
Of 100 that enter CO 2 yr colleges, only 6graduate in 4 yrs
Of 100 that enter CO 4 yr colleges, only 31graduate in 8 yrs

Recommendations Data and Reporting
ECE to 2nd grade achievement should be tracked andreported publically
Student growth and achievement should be given equalweight in reporting
Its not enough to send kids to college if they are not
prepared (remediation rates are major concern)
College matriculation and success rates should be trackedand reported for the district and each high school program

Some strategies like ProComp havespecific evaluations, most do not
There is no comprehensive evaluationrelated to big picture improvement
Whats driving improvement, whats not
