Campaign Era Dropout Rates Rise in City Schools
A school district report to the board shows last year 1 percent of dropouts left for home problems while 22 percent left to parenthood. Other reasons included drugs 5 percent and crime 6 percent. The 1987 figures mark the city with the county’s highest dropout rate at 7 percent. The district seeks more funding for remedial, vocational, and GED programs to lower dropout and improve performance. Budgeted 1989-90 spending is $149 million, with increases from federal aid and local support, though critics note costs for staff and administration strain funds.
