1. By June 2029, our four-year graduation rate will rise from 52.3% in 2024-25 to 66%. 2. By June 2029, On-Track Attendance will rise from 11.6% in 2024-25 to 36%, and math proficiency will rise from 3.1% to 9%.
Composed from your plan.
Growth: Math: not checked Growth: ELA: not checked Proficiency: Math: checked Proficiency: ELA: not checked Graduation Rate: checked Other: checked (School Quality: K-12 On-Track Attendance) Proficiency: Math: baseline 3.1% (2024-25); targets 5% in 2026-27, 7% in 2027-28, and 9% in 2028-29. Students who attend more often get more math instruction. We will track the math course pass rate each term to check this pathway. Graduation Rate: baseline 52.3% (2024-25); targets 56% in 2026-27, 61% in 2027-28, and 66% in 2028-29. Indirect link. Chronic absence is an early signal of not finishing school, but the studies measured course failure, not graduation. We will track credits earned each semester and the on-time graduation rate of each cohort to check it. School Quality: K-12 On-Track Attendance: baseline 11.6% (2024-25); targets 20% in 2026-27, 28% in 2027-28, and 36% in 2028-29. Direct link. The studies measured this outcome (chronic absence, grades 9-10).

Dropout rate Dropout rate. The cohort dropout rate published for our school on MI School Data, kept for all three years. State the grades included and the student groups reported. Source: MI School Data (official rate). The rate lags, so pair it with a local count each term of students who left enrollment without a transfer record, and the share re-engaged. We produce it official rate once a year; local count each term. The baseline is 24.6% for 2024-25. Our targets are 21% in year 1, 18% in year 2, and 15% in year 3. A lower number is better. The MTSS coordinator owns this measure, with the counselor as backup. Report the change in the rate from baseline against each target, and the number of students re-engaged who are still enrolled at year end. Student chronic absenteeism rate Student chronic absenteeism rate. Students enrolled in the building at least 10 consecutive days who missed 10% or more of possible days, grades 7-12, as MI School Data reports the rate. Monthly checks in the student information system use the same 10 consecutive day rule. Source: MI School Data for the baseline and each year; student information system pulled monthly, with the year-end figure checked against the state rate. We produce it monthly locally; official rate once a year. The baseline is 88.4% for 2024-25. Our targets are 78% in year 1, 70% in year 2, and 62% in year 3. A lower number is better. The attendance coordinator owns this measure, with the MTSS coordinator as backup. Report the rate by year against each target, and the share of students flagged chronically absent early in the year who are no longer chronically absent at year end. The Michigan School Index reports the opposite measure, On-Track Attendance, so it should rise as this rate falls. Mental health services provided to students Mental health services provided: students served (M1). Count each student once per school year who had at least one documented Tier 2 (group, brief, or targeted) or Tier 3 (individual, family, or clinical) mental health service from a qualified provider, school- or community-employed, including minor-consented services. Source: Provider service logs; CAHC encounter data; Caring 4 Students encounter notes; student information system intervention module. We produce it each term; reported once a year. The baseline is 18 students for 2025-26. Our targets are 30 students in year 1, 36 students in year 2, and 40 students in year 3. A higher number is better. The school social worker owns this measure, with the counselor as backup. Report M1 each year against your target, alongside chronic absenteeism and dropout rate. Mental health services provided: percent of enrollment (M1a). M1 divided by fall enrollment, grades 7-12. Source: Same as M1, plus MSDS enrollment. We produce it once a year. The baseline is 15% for 2025-26. Our targets are 25% in year 1, 30% in year 2, and 33% in year 3. A higher number is better. The school social worker owns this measure, with the counselor as backup. We report the share of enrolled students served each year against our target. Mental health services provided: sessions (M2). Individual, group, and family sessions, reported separately. Source: Same as M1. We produce it each term; reported once a year. The baseline is 60 sessions for 2025-26. Our targets are 150 sessions in year 1, 180 sessions in year 2, and 200 sessions in year 3. A higher number is better. The school social worker owns this measure, with the counselor as backup. We report sessions by type each year against our targets, so the team can see whether students who need support receive it. Credits earned per term. Credits earned in the term divided by credits attempted, for enrolled students. State whether you count credit recovery. Source: Student information system, term grade reports. We produce it each term. The baseline is 58% for 2025-26. Our targets are 65% in year 1, 70% in year 2, and 75% in year 3. A higher number is better. The counselor owns this measure, with the MTSS coordinator as backup. We report the share of attempted credits earned each term against our targets, as an early sign of progress toward graduation inside the four-year window. We will report dropout rate, student chronic absenteeism rate, and mental health services provided to students to MDE once a year after the prior school year's data close. The MTSS coordinator owns the report, and the principal reviews it before submission. We will also have local interim figures ready for MDE's renewal review each year. We will use the same definitions and populations in years 1, 2, and 3. We suppress cells under 10 students, or under our district threshold if higher.

Each activity in this step becomes a budget line on the workbook's Budget Lines tab. Copy the description, cost category, funding status, and amount into it.
This tool lists evidence and measures, not providers. Your district chooses any partner through its own objective selection process.
Every selected domain has a goal tied to it, a reporting block with every required measure, and an activity for each of its interventions. Saving keeps the plan for later reporting.
