Board hears data on noncompleters and describes targeted supports for high‑needs students

Board members and staff discussed graduation outcomes and the district’s efforts to reengage students at risk of dropping out. One participant said, "It was 12, and now it's 9," describing a reduction in noncompleters after follow-up contacts and alternative-credential options. Members noted the role of targeted programs—Sequoia runs between "50 and 60" students in alternative or trauma-responsive programming—and praised staff for outreach that reconnects vulnerable students to graduation paths.
