Keeping Our Promise Dropout Prevention Summit

Keeping Our Promise Dropout Prevention Summit

In August, Tulsa hosted a Dropout Prevention Summit to increase awareness, encourage collaboration and facilitate action to improve graduation rates.

America's Promise Alliance, founded by General Colin Powell, sponsored the dropout summit in Tulsa. The Alliance will support 50 states and at least 50 city Dropout Prevention Summits by 2010.
