The Comprehensive Dropout Prevention Plan utilizes the resources of Broward County public schools and the community for dropout prevention. A matrix of dropout prevention options has been assembled from both existing programs and from new program designs. General components of the plan include the following: (1) dropout retrieval activities; (2) parent, community, and business involvement; (3) coordination of the program with other agencies; (4) early identification of potential dropouts; (5) instruction in employability skills and career awareness activities; (6) assignment of a dropout prevention coordinator; and (7) staff development and training. Individual programs that are described include the dropout retrieval programs, educational alternative programs, teenage parenting programs, substance abuse programs, disciplinary programs, and youth services programs. An appendix providing brief descriptions of 29 existing available programs is included. The plan is defined as a system-wide responsibility for providing an immediate and local strategy for addressing educational problems. Its goal is also to improve student skills and level of preparation on graduation. The recommendations of various subcommittees of the Broward County Dropout Prevention Task Force for several programs are included. (PS)
