| Under fire for poor dropout rates, LAUSD quietly consolidated its adult- and secondary-instruction programs, which instructors say will artificially inflate graduation figures and jeopardize courses for career-oriented students. Over the past two years, Houston Independent School District volunteers and school officials have brought back to school roughly 800 dropouts out of 250,000 students. Projected over a lifetime, from ages 18 to 64, the "social costs" for each dropout is more than $533,000, according to Sum. |
