Study; monitoring and collection of data and information on the high school dropout and graduation rates in the Commonwealth; report. Encourages the Department of Education to monitor and collect data and information on the high school dropout and graduation rates in the Commonwealth, pursuant to criteria prescribed by the Board of Education. In collecting the data and information, and in its monitoring efforts, the Department of Education shall (i) determine the relevancy of the current process and procedures for defining, counting, and reporting school dropout statistics and consider the need for revisions in such process and procedures and compliance by school divisions; (ii) compile data concerning the number of students who dropped out of school before the seventh grade and the reasons therefore, and the number of students who graduate annually, for school years 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005; (iii) ascertain whether, by whom, and the manner in which students at risk of dropping out are counseled to remain in school; (iv) identify local school division initiatives and efforts to retain and retrieve students at risk of dropping out, particularly student populations with low high school graduation rates; and (v) apprise policymakers fully regarding the Commonwealth's dropout and high school graduation rates, and of any statutory, fiscal, or regulatory changes that may be necessary to avoid an increase in the school dropout rate.
