Comprehensive Dropout Prevention Plan.
Duval County Schools, Jacksonville, FL.
This Dropout Prevention Plan was designed for the Duval County Public Schools in Jacksonville, Florida. It provides for the identification of potential dropouts and various interventions to help reduce the dropout rate. Students who have been unsuccessful in the regular educational programs are targeted. Other goals are to develop the skills of staff who are involved with these students and to promote school partnerships with business and community organizations. The components of the program are the following: (1) a vocational program to retrieve dropouts; (2) programs to involve parents and interested citizens; (3) programs to form partnerships with businesses; (4) community involvement; (5) auxiliary services, such as those provided by health agencies; (6) early identification of potential dropouts; and (7) development of employability skills and career awareness. Several special populations are specifically targeted by the dropout prevention coordinator and staff. They are the following: (1) pregnant and parenting students; (2) substance abusers; (3) disruptive students; (4) truants; and (5) students who lack motivation. Budgets for the program are included.
