To provide potential dropouts with increased opportunities for academic and social success and ensure school and community involvement, the Clinton County School District (Kentucky) has developed a comprehensive dropout prevention program emphasizing the assessment of student needs. This paper describes the program's purpose, target groups, community background, operational plan, evaluation process, and support system. The program will prioritize and correlate suggested remediations, training, and therapy used with students and report students' progress to parents through an indepth Learning-Management System and readable computer printouts. The program will include all students, handicapped, and other individuals and groups traditionally underrepresented in earlier programs. The target population is a county with nearly 40 percent of its population living in poverty. A primary aim is for teachers and administrators to deal with adolescents "where they are" and motivate them toward active and responsible learning. To implement the plan, the district will purchase a microcomputer software system and engage community groups and the schools in providing funding, gift certificates, treats, and prizes. The program will be evaluated according to the numbers of students served and measured against state standards for effective schools. The program will not succeed without devising alternatives to existing school regulations and obtaining teacher participation in the planning process and community support. (MLH)
