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. The
summits will increase awareness, encourage collaboration and
facilitate action in those states and communities that want to
improve their graduation rates.
Tulsa was the second city in the country to host a Dropout
Prevention Summit and recommendations and action items will be
proposed for Tulsa to start programming for education
initiatives.
