Part B State Performance Plan
provide interventions in three Arkansas school districts for an initial cohort of ninth graders
failing the first semester of the 2007-08 school year. In 2008-09, the C.O.R.E. project expanded
to include select high schools in the Little Rock School District, the largest district in the State,
as well as the continued participation of the three initial districts. In 2009-2010 the C.O.R.E.
project, in Collaboration with IDEA Data & Research Center, developed a model data base with
students that drop out of school. The intent was to collect and analyze reflective data from prior
years to determine additional risk factors that lead to students leaving prior to graduation. The
model was presented as training to the Arkansas River Education Service Cooperative Local
Education Supervisors. The presentation was Arkansas’s rudimentary assessment of a local
Early Warning System.
Little Rock School District Collaborations:
•
McCellan High School data-base profiles were developed to identify 9th graders with
two risk factors during the first nine weeks: attendance of 80% or less, course failure in
Algebra I, Civics and Language Arts. The building principal, data manager, counselors
and dropout prevention teams provided immediate interventions for the target group. The
process of student identification and provision of interventions was repeated after the
second nine weeks to show student improvement, identify new students, and to intensify
the interventions for specific students if warranted.
•
P.O.I.S.E. staff participated (October-December 2009) on a committee that provided
research and policy recommendations to the Little Rock School District Board of
Directors for approval to establish a District Truancy Board to address attendance.
