The Vermont Lighthouse School District Project: Comprehensive Planning for At-Risk Youth.
Regional Laboratory for Educational Improvement of the Northeast & Islands, Andover, MA.; Vermont State Dept. of Education, Montpelier.
The year-long Lighthouse District Planning Process culminated in the development of a plan that addresses the needs of at-risk students in the Burlington School District and the Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union in Vermont. This final report on the project also serves as a guide that can be used by other districts to construct a comprehensive approach to serving their own at-risk students. Section 1 presents brief case studies of each Lighthouse district. The cases are presented in a way that highlights the process undertaken by each district as well as the plan each devised. Section 2 presents an analysis of how the process worked in the two different settings, urban and rural, including how varying community contexts play a role in shaping outcomes. Section 3 is a Practice Profile of the Lighthouse District Planning Process. This tool will be most valuable to communities that are attempting to integrate measures to assist at-risk youth into the priorities and plans of the school district as well as the larger communities. The components of the planning process outlined in this report can apply to system-wide changes as well as changes only for at-risk students. (JS)
