P.O.I.S.E activities related to this indicator were:
Check and Connect Program: The P.O.I.S.E. coordinator will attend a Check and Connect Training
sponsored by the Institute on Community Integration at the University of Minnesota. The Check and
Connect model is designed to promote students' engagement with school, reduce dropout, and increase
school completion. P.O.I.S.E began offering technical assistance (regional) in the Check and Connect model
to a network of local school districts that triggered in both indicator 1 (graduation) and 2 (dropout) to
develop frameworks for school completion. To expand Check and Connect across the State, Arkansas
Transition Services will provide opportunities along with P.O.I.S.E.
