African American Student Success
Napa County Office of Education
Problem of Practice
Low high school completion rate for students enrolled in the County Community Schools/Program (expelled and/or on probation)
Strategies
Offer enhanced career pathway training programs in culinary arts and welding/construction in county-run community schools
Desired Outcomes
Chronic absenteeism for Career Technical Education (CTE) students will be at least 10% lower than for non-CTE students (e.g. if 20% of non-CTE students are chronically absent, CTE student rate will be < 18%)
Graduation rate (one-year graduation rate) for seniors enrolled in CTE will be at least 5% higher than for non-CTE seniors (e.g. if rate for non-CTE students is 70%, CTE student goal is > 73.5%)
CTE-enrolled students will complete at 5% more credits attempted than non-CTE students (e.g. if non-CTE students complete 80% of credits attempted, CTE students will complete >84%)
