Funds are annually appropriated to the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) for the purpose of making grants available to eligible applicants (local education agencies) . Grantees commit to using funds to provide direct services to students, build consistent attendance and discipline practices, and develop alternatives to suspension and expulsion with the goal to keep more students in school, improve students’regular attendance, and support students’ progress toward graduation.  \nMore than 6,200 Students and 4,500 Parents, Families, and Guardians Served   \nIn 2023-2024, the General Assembly appropriated $9,499,542 for the EARSS program and CDE awarded funds to 48 grantees, 5 of whom were in their initial 6-month period of funding dedicated to stakeholder meetings, student identification, and the hiring and training of staff. The remaining 43 grantees provided direct student support for reducing discipline infractions, improving attendance, and working to build stronger systems for prevention and intervention. A total of 6,209 students received direct support including:  \n• 2,065 students at risk of being expelled.  \n• 3,921 chronically absent and/or habitually truant students; and  \n• 223 expelled students.  \nEARSS grantees primarily serve students in sixth through twelfth grade (80.6 percent of students served), however there is a growing group of grantees serving elementary students, with pre-kindergarten through fifth grade at 7.6 percent of students served. In addition, nearly half of the students served are Hispanic or Latino students (48.6 percent), which is greater than the statewide average (35.5 percent) .  \nMore than half of the students were served due to attendance (63 . 1 percent of students served) with the rest served for expulsions or risk of expulsion. Of the 2,065 students served who were at-risk for expulsion or previously expelled, the primary reasons a student was served were:  \n• Detrimental behavior (17.2 percent of students); and  \n• Disobedient/defiant behavior (25.8 percent of students) .  \nIn addition to direct student support, more than 4,500 parents and guardians received support services to assist in their children’s learning, positive engagement, and academic development.  \nOverall, students supported by the EARSS grant program experienced positive outcomes at the end of the school year, including 94.8 percent of the students remaining in school, receiving a diploma (graduating), or completing school. In addition, more than half of grantee schools met all of their p","cbCaijLUeV0TeQit","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijLUeV0TeQit","pdf",1136234,23,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Introduction\n## Background: State Statute on Expulsion Prevention and Support Services\n## Reporting Requirements\n## 2023-2024 Grant Awards\n## Students Served in 2023-2024\n## Student Characteristics\n## Student Supports and Services\n## Program Services Implemented\n## Family Engagement\n## Program Effectiveness\n## Performance Objectives\n## Meeting Legislative Intent – Impacting EARSS Students\n## Impacting Schoolwide Outcomes – Dropouts and Student Engagement\n## Conclusion\n# Appendix\n## Appendix A – Evaluation Methodology\n## Appendix B – 2023-2024 Funded Grantees","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the EARSS grant program in 2023-24?\",\"answer\":\"The EARSS program funds educational and support services for expelled students, students at risk of expulsion, chronically absent students, and habitually truant students.
