The Legislature established the Graduation: A Team Effort (GATE) Advisory (originally known as Building Bridges Workgroup) in 2007 to keep all students visible and on track to graduate from high school. The state's ongoing engagement and reengagement efforts are based on the three major recommendations of the original Building Bridges Workgroup: (1) Set an educational goal for youth and family-serving agencies and coordinate efforts to achieve it; (2) Build local dropout prevention and intervention systems and practices at every grade level; and (3) Create a dropout reengagement system for 16-24-year-old youth who are not likely to return to high school. The GATE Advisory Committee met regularly over the course of the 2022-23 school year to promote and expand effective dropout prevention, intervention, and reengagement policy and programming. As a result of these discussions, the Committee proposed the following recommendations to the legislature: (1) Develop a statewide early warning and intervention system; (2) Build capacity to create school schedules that are inclusive and driven by high expectations; (3) Increase capacity for the implementation of Ninth Grade Success Teams; (4) Support youth reengagement efforts through the establishment of barrier reduction funding for Open Doors Youth Reengagement programs; and (5) Expand resources to support school/community dropout prevention, intervention, and reengagement system support.
