To this purpose, we first review a number of research studies and research syntheses that have appeared in the professional literature of the last several years. Second, we present statistical information on South Carolina dropouts that allows us to better understand the magnitude of the problem in this State. Third, we review current state level policy recommendations to see better the direction in which South Carolina is headed in its response to at-risk and dropout youth.DocumentCopyright status undetermined.
