Dropout Prevention Grants: Legislators need to rethink their approach to the dropout problem
posted March 23, 2009 by Dr. Terry Stoops
Only 14 of the 100 schools that received services from dropout prevention grant recipients had substantially lower dropout rates and higher graduation rates from the 2006-07 to the 2007-08 school year. Of the five types of recipients awarded grants, grants to non-profit organizations appeared to have the most success.
