Source: Alliance for Excellent Education
The brief,
Prioritizing the Nation’s Dropout Factories: The Need for Federal Policy That Targets the Lowest-Performing High Schools, calls on federal lawmakers to take every available opportunity to address this issue. It specifically cites three upcoming opportunities to address this national problem: the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and the Budget and Appropriations Process: Federal policymakers should ensure a steady and significant stream of federal funding that is targeted towards improving these schools.
