Attendance Improvement/Dropout Prevention (AI/DP) provides students identified as having attendance and academic problems with a variety of services including counseling, attendance outreach, alternative learning strategies and case management.
Education Law Section 3602(12)(f) established fiscal and program requirements for the AI/DP setaside. The key provisions for the AI/DP setaside, which are contained in Subpart 149-2 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, state that any school district with an attendance ratio in the year prior to the base year that is in the lowest 10 percent of such ratios for all districts and that has a full-time equivalent aggregate absence count of more than 461 students is required to set aside a portion of its comprehensive operating aid for attendance improvement and dropout prevention.
These districts will provide students, identified as having attendance and academic problems, with a variety of services including counseling, attendance outreach, model alternative learning strategies, case management, and other services as described in Subpart 149-2 of the Regulations of the Commissioner.
Approval to operate AI/DP programs and provide services required by the setaside legislation is based upon the submission and approval of a complete plan as well as setting aside the required amount of comprehensive operating aid for the program.
The programs and activities described in this plan will be supported through the Strategic Plan of the New York State Education Department's Office of Elementary, Middle, Secondary and Continuing Education. An objective of this plan is to raise the achievement level of all students, especially those in low performing schools and schools in crisis, by improving the learning environment. By building the capacity of schools to plan for school improvement, positive results can be expected in the area of pupil attendance, performance and retention.
School districts must ensure that their AI/DP programs provide services that are physically and programmatically accessible to children with disabilities and their families.
Carefully read the instructions before completing this plan. Complete all appropriate sections of the plan as directed.
