SRG RFA Page

The Office of Dropout Prevention and Student Re-Engagement (DPSR) at the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) was created by Colorado Revised Statute (C.R.S.) 22-14-103. This office provides focus, coordination, research, and leadership to assist local education providers in implementing efforts to reduce the dropout rate and increase graduation and completion rates and levels of student engagement and re-engagement. This office is responsible for managing the Colorado Student Re-Engagement Grant Program (SRG).

The Colorado Student Re-Engagement Grant Program (SRG) is authorized by C.R.S. 22-14-109 to assist local education providers in providing educational services and supports to students to maintain student engagement and support student re-engagement at the secondary level.

The Dropout Prevention Framework was created using research- and evidence-based strategies and represents an ecosystem of institutional change that includes a process for identification, intervention, and support. The framework aligns with the intent and purpose of the Colorado Student Re-Engagement Grant Program.

The next RFA will be released Winter 2027 with funds starting FY28-29, pending funding availability
