Ronald, I really see the public school problem perpetuating itself. The "No Child Left Behind" policy requires all government-run schools receiving federal funding to administer a state-wide standardized test annually to all students. This means that all students take the same test under the same conditions. Schools which receive Title I funding through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 must make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in test scores (e.g. each year, its fifth graders must do better on standardized tests than the previous year's fifth graders).

This helps to avoid the student 'disappearing' after extern. Who else can assist Sean with best practices? Cindy Bryant

Exit Counseling

Cherie, Welcome to the forum! You may not be aware but the financial aid exits must be rather formal there is usually paper work that needs to be signed and documented in the student file. This documentation is critical in the event that there is a audit or review. In addition the information given the student at time of exit assists the schools in their attempt to lower their cohort default rates. Cindy Bryant
