About Dropout Prevention School Teams

There are 35 high schools in Southeastern Michigan that have been identified as “dropout factories” by a Johns Hopkins University study based on statistics that show their senior classes to be less than 60% the size of their freshmen class for three consecutive years.  Those 35 schools were invited to send to the Summit a team of people who will lead the turnaround efforts in their schools. 

Each team is expected to include:

• the building’s union representative
• senior faculty member
• junior faculty member
• student
• parent
• community partner
• faith-based partner
• corporate partner
• school support staff member
