Eight Percent Job Training Partnership Act Evaluation Report. Extended School Day Programs, Spring Start-Up Programs, Dropout Youth Projects, 1986-87.
North Carolina State Dept. of Public Instruction, Raleigh. Div. of Support Programs.
This document evaluates Eight Percent Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) Programs operated in North Carolina's public schools during the 1986-87 school year. Data were received from local education agencies (LEAs) operating 13 Extended School Day Programs, 5 Spring Start-Up Extended School Day Programs, and 3 Dropout Youth Projects. Data on the 575 student participants in the JTPA Extended School Day Programs are given on composition by age, grade, gender, race, and handicapped status. Of the youth served by Extended Day Programs, 49 percent remained in school and attended regularly, and 51 percent left school for a variety of reasons. Of the grade 12 Program graduates, 53 percent went into private sector unsubsidized jobs, and 24 percent went to a community college. Although the objectives set for the JTPA Spring Start-Up Extended School Day Programs were not met in all schools, the schools are now better prepared to begin program operation during the 1987-88 school year. The JTPA Dropout Youth Projects attempted to recruit Indian and migrant youth dropouts into secondary schools and to provide them with opportunities to complete school and to obtain pre-employment skills training. A total of 238 contacts were made and 39 dropouts were recruited and enrolled. Staff ratings of the Projects, information on the Project's budget and participants, and recommendations are included. Data are presented on 13 tables and figures. An appendix presents the results of the Extended School Day Programs Survey. (BJV)
