Back on Track (Michigan)

Tool Search: Back on Track

The Back on Track tool allows districts to track data for the Michigan Kids Back on Track grant-funded program. According to MCL 388.1623g(13), Michigan Kids Back on Track aims to support programs designed to: 

  • Address unfinished learning.
  • Get students to grade-level academic standards. 
  • Provide additional academic assistance to students who risk falling behind their peers. 
  • Help high school students prepare for postsecondary education. 

These programs can be provided before, during, after school, or during the summer for grades pre-K to 12. Districts are encouraged to partner with community-based organizations in this work.
