Early Indicator & Intervention Systems

The Student Success Act, House Bill 3427, creates a grant program to assist school districts with implementing early indicator and intervention systems (EIIS). The goal of the EIIS grant program is to align school, district, and community systems to help students stay on track to graduate from high school.

An EIIS is a process that relies on available data to identify, support and monitor students who are at risk for leaving school before graduating. The main component of an EIIS is a predictive analytics system that uses data to identify students who may need additional interventions to stay on the graduation track. These data points often include attendance, behavior, and course performance, as research indicates that they are powerful predictors of high school completion. To assist with the usage of data, these systems typically include reporting functions and custom-designed data dashboards. In addition, an EIIS may include other implementation supports, such as EIIS staffing, intervention activities, school-based EIIS teams, professional development, progress-monitoring, technical assistance, communication support, and community engagement.
