Abstract	This report provides direction for the development of a cohesive state policy and plan for the state of Oregon regarding services for at-risk youth. It is also intended to serve as a guide for school districts, community colleges, state agencies, and communities in the further development and improvement of programs for at-risk youth. Section I of the report describes the scope of the dropout problem, characteristics of at-risk youth, and possible causes of dropping out. National data and data from the state of Oregon are provided as they relate to causes of dropping out. Eight proposals for action to serve at-risk youth are discussed and a plan is given for each proposal: (1) increase public awareness and cooperative efforts; (2) work with factors outside the schools; (3) develop reporting procedures for schools; (4) report promising practices; (5) encourage local programs; (6) develop alternative programs; (7) develop programs for parent education and parenting skills; and (8) provide educator training. Section II focuses on state agency plans and budgeting. It includes an action plan for implementing 1986-89 activities. Budget requests are given for 1987-89 in the areas of administering at-risk programs, grants-in-aid to schools, and joint youth initiative. A summary of existing department resources for at-risk youth is included. For each resource, the grades served and the major focus of the resource is given. (NB)
