An Analysis of States' 2007-08 Annual Performance Report Data for Indicator 2 (Dropout)
National Dropout Prevention Center for Students with Disabilities
The National Dropout Prevention Center for Students with Disabilities (NDPC-SD) was assigned the task of compiling, analyzing and summarizing the data for Indicator 2--Dropout--from the FY2007 (2007-08 school year) Annual Performance Reports (APRs) and the revised State Performance Plans (SPPs), which were submitted to Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) in February of 2009. The text of the indicator is as follows: Percent of youth with IEPs dropping out of high school. In the APR, each state reported its dropout rate for special education students, compared its current dropout rate with the state target rate for the 2007-08 school year, discussed reasons for its progress or slippage with respect to the target rate, and described the improvement activities it had undertaken during the year. This report summarizes the NDPC-SD's findings for Indicator 2 across the 50 states, commonwealths and territories, and the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), for a total of 60 agencies. Selected examples of activities used by states in support of school-completion and technical assistance received and actions taken to correct issues in New York are appended.
