The Oregon Department of Education, in conjunction with Oregon Attitudes, a p u b lic o p in io n re search firm , surveyed 529 students who left high school during the 1979-80 school year “ I am alarmed that nearly one-third of our students leave high school before g ra d u a tio n ,” said Verne D u n c a n , s ta te school superintendent. ‘ ‘ But we needed to know more about them, why they left, what they’ve been doing and what their plans are.” D u n ca n s a id th e “ dropout” label doesn’t fit most of the early school leavers “ Few had academic or conduct problems,” he said. “ They left for a variety of complex reasons — many not d ir e c tly re la te d to school. “ Most of those interviewed were anxious to share their thoughts and grateful that someone cared enough to listen,” he added. E ighty-three percent of the early leavers said they intend to pursue their educa tion and 33 percent had already returned to some form of schooling by the tim e of the September interview. “ I t ’s discouraging to see students leave school,” Dun can said. “ But for some students an alternative to the four-year high school may be more effective. My greatest concern is that these early leavers know what educational options are available.” Duncan said his staff is taking several steps to help potential and actual early school leavers. A Youth Education and E m p lo y m e n t P ro g ra m , sponsored by the Depart ment of Education and the Employment Division, w ill use a $500,000 federal grant to e s ta b lis h seven demonstration sites across the state to offer guidance ply with Senate B ill 854, which requires them to ad vise students of educational a lte rn a tiv e s before they drop out. Only 26 ‘percent of those surveyed cited conduct or related matters as a reason for leaving school and only 5 percent mentioned grades or academ ic d iffic u lty . The m ost fre q u e n tly s ta te d reasons were: teachers, 19 percent; dislikeof school in general, 15 percent; dislike for career and educational opportunities to students who may leave or have left school Duncan w ill appoint a team , re p re s e n ta tiv e of other youth-serving agencies as well as business and labor, to develop recommen dations for specifically ad dressing the needs of poten tial and actual early school leavers. He has directed his staff to see that school districts com- of specifically named school, 13 percent, and pregnancy, 11 percent of females S ixty-nine percent had worked since leaving school and 46 percent were working when in te r v ie w e d in September Eighty-three percent said they had future education plans. F orty percent planned to attend a community col lege and 30 percent said they w ill e n te r the G eneral Educational Development (GED) program.
