Dropout Reporting Guidelines
A dropout is an individual who:
1.	Was enrolled at the end of the last school year and has not enrolled by October 1 of this school year; or
2.	Was enrolled after October 1 during the current school year but has since left school, and
3.	Has not graduated from high school, and
4.	Does not meet any of the following exclusionary conditions:
	a: Transfer to another public school district or private,
	b: temporary absence due to suspension or school-recognized illness,
	c: transfer to home schooling, or
	d: death

Additional Guidelines for reporting dropouts:
1.	A school year is defined as the period of time beginning October 1 of the current school year and ending September 31 of the subsequent school year.
2.	A dropout should not be reported if the student who dropped out reenters later in the same quarter. The status at the end of the quarter under report determines whether a student should be reported as a dropout.
3.	Any student who has been suspended or expelled is not considered a dropout at that time. If the student does not return at the en of the suspension or expulsion period, he or she should then be reported as a dropout under one of the reasons shown below.
