About Graduation A Team Effort (GATE) Advisory

The Graduation A Team Effort (GATE) Partnership Advisory Committee is a broad base of youth and family-serving agencies and organizations that meet three times a year. This committee works to provide a wide lens of input on specific goals and topics related to the development and implementation of a dropout prevention, intervention, and reengagement system across cradle to career milestones. Learn more.

Meeting October 18

This meeting we'll have a presentation on engagement with case studies from other states from Megan Sambolt, a Principal Researcher in the Youth, Family, and Community Services Division of American Institutes for Research (AIR). Sambolt specializes in equity in education, attendance and chronic absenteeism, and behavior management interventions. We'll also have a presentation from Cristina Roark of Kitsap Strong on the collective impact work she's leading.

We've invited education leaders, legislators, youth serving state agencies, community-based organizations, and various educational interest groups to join us. We want to know what you think about the research and directions we should be pushing for in the legislative session to come.
