Dear Margaret, We have (already) had our very first student come in here saying they dropped out of high school because they did not meet the school district's "Body of Evidence" (BOE). We also just had a request made by one of our K12 New Student Orientation partners ask us to track the number of students who state on their registration under "Reason for leaving school" the BOE. Would we want to implement a state effort to count these kids so that we have information about the relationship between increased dropout rates (if indeed this happens) and the BOE? I think it would be very interesting!! Lisa Lisa Mixer ABE/GED Co-director Literacy Volunteers of Casper Tutor Coordinator 125 College Drive Casper, Wyoming 82601 307-268-2453 307-268-3021 fax
