Abstract | This report outlines the findings and recommendations of an Illinois state task force which investigated the problem of Hispanic student dropouts. Following an executive summary, the report is divided into two sections which, respectively, describe findings and provide recommendations for twelve problem areas: (1) inadequate definition of a dropout and inaccurate collection and reporting of data; (2) inadequate number of Hispanic guidance counselors and unrelated job responsibilities; (3) need for Hispanic role models; (4) parental participation: rights and responsibilities; (5) need for staff development and training; (6) specialized programs and special education: misclassification and misplacement; (7) inadequate utilization of the Migrant Student Record Transfer System; (8) need for employment and training programs; (9) need for extracurricular activities and remedial programs; (10) truancy and crime; (11) unenforced school discipline policies; (12) inappropriate utilization of existing school resources and lack of teacher accountability. Three appendices include the State Senate resolution which established the task force; a roster of task force members; and a schedule of the public hearings and presenters. (KH) |
