Thank you for your interest in the Superintendent's Dropout Challenge. This Challenge was launched in 2009. As a result, over 1,100 schools and 142 school districts committing all their schools have joined the Challenge. A recent study found that schools in the Challenge have statistically significant lower dropout rates than those not yet part of the Challenge.
If you are a building or district joining the Challenge for the first time, please complete the remainder of this short survey.
IF YOUR BUILDING OR DISTRICT HAS BEEN PART OF THE CHALLENGE IN THE PAST, NO FURTHER ACTION IS NECESSARY AT THIS TIME. You will automatically be re-enrolled. Over the next few weeks, you will receive an email confirming your Challenge participation and a form to make necessary contact, building or district changes. For example, if you are a single building, you could explore if your district would like to have all of its schools participate.
If you have additional questions please contact Jan Ellis at mdedropoutchallenge@michigan.gov or (517) 373-9391.
