Project RETAIN (Retention in Education Technical Assistance and Information Network) is a Florida project that assists school districts through identification and dissemination of effective practices that keep students with mild disabilities in school. One part of the project examined dropout rates from Florida's 67 school districts and their programming and services. Results of the school district survey were organized into a single database. Seven districts were selected for site visits based on their size (either small, medium, or large) and their utilization of promising practices in 10 thematic areas identified by a previous Delphi study. Program profiles are provided for the following counties: Bradford, Broward, Levy, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, and Sarasota. Promising practices are grouped around the following thematic areas: (1) climate, (2) collaboration, (3) curriculum and instruction, (4) evaluation and development, (5) individualization, (6) program friendliness, (7) staff qualifications, (8) student objectives, (9) student services, and (10) training. Implications for practice are briefly addressed. Appendices include the interview template, sample forms from districts, and a list of contact persons. (DB)
