Abstract	The Optional Flexible School Day Program (OFSDP) is approved by the Texas Commissioner of Education and is offered by the Houston Independent School District (HISD) to provide students with flexible school hours and days of attendance. The program offers opportunities for students to make progress toward completing high school if they are unable to attend school in a traditional setting or are at risk of dropping out of school. OFSDP students may attend school on fixed or flexible schedules to include extended day, night, or weekend classes which are offered throughout the year through on-line and in-person services. The program began in November 2009 to provide students with opportunities to earn attendance and course credits needed to graduate from high school. This report describes characteristics of program participants and their academic outcomes for 2013-2014. The OFSDP 2013-14 program has proven successful with a decrease in percentage of students that have withdrawn from the program (21.2%) compared to (30.7%) in 2012-13. This decrease is a direct result of a collaborative effort between OFSDP schools and the District Drop Out Prevention Department. Schools implemented weekly graduation support meetings where all lead teachers from each OFSDP site identified potential drop outs and developed intervention strategies. (ERIC).
