AI Summary

This bill aims to establish a comprehensive state-level and district-level approach to preventing student dropouts. The key provisions include: 1. Forming a State Interagency Council composed of representatives from various state agencies, education organizations, and parent representatives to develop a model process for identifying at-risk students, creating individualized plans for intervention, and increasing parental involvement. 2. Requiring school districts with over 1,000 students and dropout rates higher than twice the state average to establish District Interagency Councils to implement the comprehensive plan developed by the State Interagency Council. 3. Mandating the District Interagency Councils to identify at-risk students, develop individualized plans, and coordinate services from multiple agencies to support these students and their families. 4. Requiring annual reporting and independent review of the plans and programs implemented by the District Interagency Councils, with recommendations to the Legislature on potential modifications or expansions. The overall goal is to unite state agencies, community organizations, and parents to systematically prevent dropouts in targeted school districts through early intervention, individualized support, and improved interagency collaboration.
