Myint-U, A., O’Donnell, L., Osher, D., Petrosino, A., & Stueve, A. (2008). Piloting a searchable database of dropout prevention programs in nine low-income urban school districts in the Northeast and Islands Region (Issues & Answers Report, REL 2008–No. 046). Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, Regional Educational Laboratory Northeast and Islands.
Despite evidence that some dropout prevention programs have positive effects, it has not been documented whether school districts in the region are using such evidence-based programs. This report details a pilot project to generate and share knowledge by building a searchable data base of school dropout programs and policies.
