Abstract	To increase attendance rates and to decrease dropout rates in New York State, the state legislature established the Attendance Improvement and Dropout Prevention Program in 1984. The State Office of the Comptroller audited the State Department of Education's administration of the program from July 1, 1992 through April 30, 1994. The Comptroller's office found that the Department of Education has opportunities to strengthen its guidance and monitoring of the 19 school districts' programs which could enhance statewide prevention efforts. The Department needs to ensure that participating districts submit the required plans and reports, and it needs to ensure that the reports it receives are complete. The Department further needs to review the submitted plans and to provide districts with technical guidance showing how goals and outcomes should be developed. Review of program services in New York City and Buffalo indicated that program services were provided to students, but the accuracy of attendance data should be improved, and better standards should be established for when and how often attendance outreach services should be provided. Appendixes list report contributors and provide comments of officials in the Department of Education. An exhibit provides summary information about participating districts. (Contains three tables.)
