  • ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ' Multiple Pathways to Graduation currently contracts with approximately 8 community-based education agencies or organizations in the Portland area to serve students who are struggling to stay engaged or are at risk of dropping out of ½ûÂþÌìÌà schools.  

     

    Eligible students may be referred to a Community-Based Organization (CBO) by the student's school, ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ' Reconnection Services, community agencies, or self-referral. Information about each of these schools can be found under the school's individual listing on this webpage.
