This may seem an odd question but here I go anyway.
Judging from Dennis' post the high drop out rate has been a problem for
quite a while. Has that drop out rate been configured into the school
district budget? In other words, is the current budget dependent on a
certain number of students dropping out og high school? What would be the
educational/financial impact of a lower drop out rate?
It seems to me that this could quickly become a cath-22 situation that more
students leads to a tighter budget which leads to a lower quality of
education which leads to more drop outs.
Just my musings.
