HB24-1282, Ninth-Grade Success Grant & Performance Reporting, <\/a>was introduced. This bill expands funding for the 9th Grade Success Grant Program, which will allow more Colorado schools to implement the approach changing the trajectory for our high school students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The data shows us that it\u2019s the right work. We\u2019re keeping students on-track, and it\u2019s resulting in better student outcomes, including increases in our on-time graduation rates,”

“In addition to graduation rates going from 59% to a 79%<\/strong>, we have seen our 9th grade GPA increase 28%, and the number of behavior referrals given to freshman has decreased by 67%.\u00a0 We believe this to be a direct result of the added emphasis of targeted support for these students,”
