-
This report presents the findings and recommendations of an in-depth study of the Hispanic youth and the dropout syndrome in Michigan. Following an executive summary, the report is divided into three major sections. The first section describes the procedures, instruments, resources, findings, and conclusions of a statewide survey of Hispanic school dropouts, graduates, and parents which occurred in the 1981-82 school year. The second section describes procedures and findings of an analysis of Hispanic performance on Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) tests. The third section synthesizes the conclusions of the first two sections, combines them with the principal findings extracted from a review of over 100 related research studies, and recommends a series of preventive strategies. Major findings of the study are that students may be led to drop out by a combination of factors involving school environment, home-school relations, and student attitudes. Statewide, a majority of Hispanic students achieved minimum acceptable levels of performance on the MEAP. Appended are a list of participating schools, questionnaires, and procedures. The student questionnaire, parent questionnaire and cover letters from the Michigan State Department of Education are provided in Spanish as well as English. (KH)
