- Summary:
-
The State-funded Attendance Improvement/Dropout Prevention program and the City-funded Dropout Prevention Program distributed over $30 million to the New York City Board of Education in 1985-86. This document is a summary report of an analysis of program implementation in the schools receiving these funds aimed at better understanding of political and organizational requirements for successful implementation. Findings show that policymakers must further consider the realities of the local context when designing program guidelines. Another goal of the analysis was to discern the strengths and weaknesses of the various programs. This involved examination of types of services offered, of school versus community-based organization delivery of these services, and of the larger school context of programs being studied. Findings document that continued program development and general school improvement are needed for dropout prevention. After describing program models, the report provides policy recommendations in the following areas: (1) targeting; (2) implementation; and (3) program development. Findings are presented in the following general sections: (1) implementation; (2) staff evaluations of programs; (3) student satisfaction; and (4) dropout prevention and school environment. An appendix provides sampling and interview methods as well as interview forms. (LHW)
