Dropout Prevention and Recovery Kathy Hamilton Youth Transitions Director

Ten years of dropout prevention and recovery: mobilization and change in Boston Youth Transitions Task Force

 Convened by Mayor Thomas Menino in 2004  District, city and state agencies, community-based organizations (CBO’s)  Goal: lower dropout rate in Boston and Massachusetts  Conducted quantitative research  Focus groups: youth and parents  Interviews: educators and youth service providers About the Youth Transitions Task Force (YTTF)

 Approximately 1,700 students dropping out every year (rate of 8%)  More than 8,000 young dropouts living in the community  1 in 3 students are not graduating  A dropout costs the taxpayer $467,023, due to high unemployment and greater public service dependency  Young people want more adult and peer connections in school Research: finding and mobilizing the right information

 Refine dropout data collection methods & deepen the analysis.  Develop early intervention strategies and an outreach and referral system for dropouts.  Increase the number and the variety of alternatives.  Create school climates that are welcoming and respectful for students and parents.  Increase coordination among agencies to close gaps.  Develop revenue strategies for alternative programs, early intervention, and outreach to dropouts. YTTF recommendations

Youth Transitions partners’ response Boston Public Schools: 2007: Deep “segmentation” analysis to find those most likely to drop out 2008: Credit recovery program for off-track seniors (now graduates more than 200 students per year) 2009: Re-Engagement Center for returning dropouts 2012: Refinances alternative education PIC: 2006: Dropout outreach pilot 2010: Work and learning programs for at-risk students Community-based organizations: increased partnership with BPS for wraparound support
