FDM - BACK TO SCHOOL
MARISA at P.A.C.E. School Tour

Influences: Los Angles County has 520 middle and 240 high schools that make up 80 school districts and account for 1.7 million students. In 2006, LA County had an unacceptable drop out rate of 17.3%. Due to California State’s high education budget cuts from 2002-2007, a majority of Los Angeles County students are at a disadvantage due to overcrowded classrooms, a lack of extra-curricular activities, and inadequate funding to creative art classes such as band and drama.
Sounds Like: Los Angeles County Student Risk Factors *21,629 students dropped out in 2005-2006. *Many schools do not offer after-school and/or creative-based activities. *Reduced counselors and high student-to-teacher ratios have eliminated positive role models. *Studies indicate that dropouts are more likely to engage in high-risk behaviors such as premature sexual activity, early pregnancy, delinquency, crime, violence, alcohol and drug abuse, and suicide. * Governor Schwarzenegger’s proposed 4.4 billion dollar education cut would increase average classroom sizes by 23% and decrease per pupil spending by $664.
