If so, please describe. Dropouts - districts do not know where students move. It is difficult to find kids. Records are not requested or transferred when students move from one district to another district. When a student withdraws to be home schooled or to be put into a private school, typically there is no request for student transcripts.
Districts do no have the personnel to track down dropout students.
Teachers are not involved in the tracking process of dropouts. Software is not user friendly to the districts. Designate time to do the data. Clarification of codes and the system is needed. Confidentiality of records are a major concern.
