New! Multiple Pathways to Graduation: In October 2005, New York State established the Office of Multiple Pathways to Graduation (OMPG) to analyze the situation and needs of the overage and under-credited high school student population — those most at risk for dropping out — and to develop a differentiated portfolio of educational models designed to bring these students to New York State graduation standards and prepare them for meaningful post-secondary opportunities.

This work is an outgrowth of the Department of Education’s commitment to bring all public school students to graduation, as first articulated in the 2002 Children First Reform agenda. The Multiple Pathways strategy leverages school reform momentum generated by the DOE’s aggressive New Small Schools initiative, Small Learning Communities Demonstration Project, Charter School Initiative, as well as instructional and professional development innovations.
