Guiding Principles:
The following principles guide SDPA’s efforts to expand educational opportunity for at risk students.
- Relevant and Rigorous academic preparation is essential.
- Students seeking a college degree, that graduate from high school with deficiencies, should have access to remediation prior to his/her freshman year.
- All students who seek a career pathway should have the opportunity to receive mentoring prior to graduation.
- Research-based and effective evidenced based strategies should guide the process of dropout prevention.
