January’s American School Board Journal (ASBJ) features the success story of the Missoula County Public School Board of Trustees’s goal of having 100 percent of its students finish high school.
Examine how a superintendent, school board, and community leaders in Missoula, Mont. banded together to identify the scope of the problem, develop strategies to improve the graduation rate, and then implemented a program that’s making a difference in student lives—and has inspired the Montana state government to start a similar program of its own.
This is a new feature for 2013 in ASBJ and each month an innovative school board success story will be profiled.
