We’ve included some information and links below that may help you either get started in heading back to school or maybe just getting some additional support in other areas of your life…
Why some programs are called a “1418” Reengagement Program-
They’re tagged with 1418 because of the legislation (ESSHB1418) that was written to create Youth Reengagement programs that provide education and services to older youth, ages 16-21, who have dropped out of school or are not expected to graduate from high school by the age of 21.
The programs must be approved by the state and include the following key elements:
- academic instruction, including GED preparation, academic skills, and college and work readiness preparation, that generates high school credit for a diploma and has the goal of academic and work readiness;
- instruction by certified teachers or college instructors whose credentials are established by the college;
- case management, counseling, and resource and referral services;
- and opportunity for qualified students to enroll in college courses tuition-free, if the program provider is a college.
