  2. Current Dropout Recovery Status(For students who are not enrolled in school) • 17 +: ABE Program administered by Frank Logan, Career Education, provides a GED equivalency certificate after passing a test housed at Kensington and is grant funded by DESE. • 17+: Fresh Start (also called Missouri Options) housed at Turner Middle Requires an entrance examination (TABE) and a high school diploma after passing a summative test. • 15+: ACE housed at 5 sites provides 400 slots and a high school diploma to students who complete the SLPS required course work (also provides for 240 afterschool credit recovery slots at no cost at 4 locations). St. Louis Public Schools

  3. Current Behavior Modification Status(Type I discipline offenders) • High School students are housed in two buildings (one North and one South) with a third building for middle school students managed by an outside contractor. • SPED students are housed in a fourth location managed by an outside contractor. • Elementary students are housed in two elementary buildings (one North and one South) and staffed with in-house personnel. This was started in February. St. Louis Public Schools

  4. Current Behavior Modification Status(Big Picture Schools)(Originally developed for Type II students) • Elementary housed at Des Peres which is slated to close. The enrollment is currently 64. • Middle housed at Turner Branch slated to close. The current enrollment is 67. • High School housed at Kottmeyer slated to close. The current enrollment is 84. • These are all in-house programs fully staffed by SLPS. St. Louis Public Schools

  5. Proposed Dropout Recovery 2009-10 • GED is grant funded at no cost to the district. • Fresh Start personnel cost and supplies estimated for 2009-10 200 students at a cost of 1,820,000.00. • ACE estimated for 2009-10 400 Slots @ 5200 per slot = 2,080,000.00 Continue ACE as is, but move the two closed locations to Roosevelt High School and Northwest High School. These moves allow credit recovery in those buildings plus Gateway and the Roberts building on Kingshighway. St. Louis Public Schools
