Multiple programs reported improvement in youth outcomes in the following areas:
FEDERAL UPDATES
There is a sense of apprehension in the appointment of Betsy DeVos as the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education. Her support of charter, choice and vouchers that will provide funding for private and parochial schools has been met with mixed responses.
STATE/LOCAL UPDATES
Michigan reading scores continue to go down. Bridge Magazine wrote a series of articles on Michigan’s failing education system.
There was a decline of Michigan’s 3rd grade reading scores even after the Department of Education spent $80 million on early literacy.
Michiganwasonlyoneoffivestatesthatsawadecline in reading scores on the National Assessment of Education Achievement test.
Between 2003 and 2015 Michigan dropped from 28th in the country for 4th grade reading scores to 41st. That drop was for all students, not just economically disadvantaged or students of color.
In 2020, the law requiring students who are one year or more behind in reading to be retained in 3rd grade willtakeeffect.Giventhecurrentscoresthatlawcould impact 30% of 3rd graders. Even more startling it could require over 50% of African American students to be retained and 43% of economically disadvantaged students to be retained.
COMMUNITY TRENDS Graduationratesoverall,andamong
economically disadvantaged youth in particular, are higher than the statewide rates.
The average dropout rate last year was about 5.5%, lower than statewide rate of 9%.
There was increased engagement with best practices and graduation rates have improved (overall and youth with low incomes).
Despite this success there has been an overall increase in absenteeism among economically disadvantaged youth.
This section illustrates the total number of clients who reported achieving specifed outcomes, and the corresponding percentage of achievement for all clients working on that outcome.*
