Oregon’s Focus for the EIIS Investment:
The EIIS grant provides financial support and technical assistance to Oregon school districts and charter schools to develop and implement data analysis systems to identify, support, and monitor students who may be at risk of leaving school or not graduating on time. An EIIS uses predictive data review to identify students early in their school careers and coordinate systems of care to steward the student towards successful, on-time graduation and transition into post-high school education and careers.
The EIIS Investment will support implementation of cohesive systems that include these elements.
- Active staff teams at school and district level.
- Robust framework of supports and interventions.
- Program innovation and improvement
- Student, family and community engagement.
- System for indicator data collection and analysis, use of predictive analytics to identify support for students and areas for improvement.
- Integrated elements, connections across grade levels and schools, and alignment with other ODE initiatives, including the Student Investment Account, Continuous Improvement Plan, High School Success, or Every Day Matters.
