HELENA, Mont. \u2013 <\/strong>The Office of Public Instruction (OPI) recently announced their graduation and dropout rates<\/a>\u00a0for the 2020-2021 school year. Notably, the graduation rate for American Indian students has dropped to 68.30%, representing a 1.28% drop from the previous year<\/a>. Dropout rates for Native schools increased to 5.87%, representing nearly a 25% increase.<\/a><\/p>\n

Additionally, graduation rates across the state differ dramatically between urban and rural schools, with our most rural schools suffering from a dropout rate of over 40%.<\/a><\/p>\n

Superintendent Arntzen\u2019s OPI has faced a nearly 90% turnover rate<\/a> among administrative staff and a much-reported backlog in teacher licensing<\/a>. Despite leadership issues at the OPI, Democratic Legislators have remained focused on bringing resources to rural and Native schools. <\/strong>In the 2021 Legislative session, Rep. Tyson Running Wolf (D-Browning) successfully sponsored a bill to invest state resources in Grow Your Own educator programs<\/a>, which will help address the teacher shortage in rural and Native schools. The program enrolled its first students earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur rural and Native high schools deserve the full attention and resources of Elsie\u2019s Arntzen\u2019s OPI,\u201d says Montana Democratic Party Executive Director, Sheila Hogan.<\/strong> \u201cWe\u2019re looking at the very real consequences of administrative failures at the OPI \u2013 Montana Democrats will continue to fight for solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
