Product Description:

This Policy Research Brief examines the policies and issues that affect the school dropout problem among youth with disabilities. It seeks to clarify the dropout problem, examine government and school policies that affect school holding power (ability to retain students), and recommend responses. The information presented here is based on the authors' current dropout prevention applied research project, findings from the five primary national education databases that include dropout statistics (i.e., National Longitudinal Transition Study, National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988, Common Core of Data, High School and Beyond, Current Population Survey), and the results of selected school district and university studies.
