- Summary:
-
An Educational Priorities Panel publication in May 1988 reported that funding for guidance and support services in New York City's middle schools was inadequate to sustain an effective base of services to middle school students. This report builds upon that earlier research and investigates how current practices in eight middle schools reflect limited funding and an ineffective structure for delivery of services. In preparing this report, representative schools were selected for in-depth site visits which included interviews with principals, assistant principals, deans, guidance counselors, drug abuse counselors, school psychologists, social workers, educational evaluators, dropout prevention program facilitators, case managers and counselors, attendance teachers, and other staff involved in providing guidance and support services. In addition, panel researchers spoke with state and local education officials, students, and district staff. This report presents findings from the investigation, including a summary of the plight of eight case study schools selected for the investigation, general access to services in the areas of high school admissions, special education, and categorical programs and itinerant counseling. Conclusions are drawn concerning the access and delivery of services and recommendations are made to improve the structure and delivery of services. Personnel issues are addressed in the areas of recruitment, staffing, and staff development and coordination. Recommendations for personnel issues are made. A literature review is appended. (NB)
