Dropout

Reducing the 35 percent dropout rate in Hennepin County is the central goal of collaboration among Hennepin County Juvenile Court, the Bloomington, Brooklyn Center and Intermediate 287 school districts, and TIES. A new process for school districts to share real-time, online information with juvenile court services about student attendance, academic performance and behavior is increasing student accountability and reducing at-risk behaviors, as well as saving staff time previously spent collecting information that is now available instantly.
