• A Local Success Story -  Learn of one local district's program; how it started, lessons learned,strategies that have continued to improve their graduation rates, and tools could be replicated in other areas.
• Community Resources Available - Many community organizations provide resources to assist with school completion.  During the forum, we will highlight a few and provide information on several others.
