Abstract | The Attendance +Plus program was initiated by the Fabens Independent School District to address the problem of high student dropout rates in west Texas schools. Aspects of the successful plan include cultivation of caring attitudes; emphasis on individual importance; rejection of myths about minority students and dropouts; and encouragement of academic success through effective teaching. The program's success is based on the assumption that a direct correlation exists between increased attendance and dropout reduction. Strategies utilized at the Board of Trustees, central administration, and school levels are listed. (13 references) (LMI) |
