Abstract	The application of rational methods to improve student outcomes in a school district is described. Issues in school reform development are addressed, followed by a description of a restructuring program implemented in the Charleston County (South Carolina) School District to reduce grade retention and the dropout rate. The program was evaluated by demographic and test score data, interviews with a cross-section of school district staff, and application of the Program Development Evaluation (PDE). The final section summarizes recent applications of system development methods to the dropout problem. Twelve figures and two tables illustrate the text. (23 references) (LMI)
