Summary
School Dropout Prevention and Basic Skills Improvement Act of 1990 - Amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 to revise secondary school programs for basic skills improvement and dropout prevention and reentry. Revises such programs with respect to: (1) reservations of funds; (2) uses of funds; (3) within-State allocation; (4) program plan requirements; (5) application submission deadlines; (6) award of grants to community-based organizations (as well as to local educational agencies); (7) reports and information base development; and (8) coordination and dissemination. Requires such programs to plan to increase the secondary school completion rate by a specified percentage and deadline, and to assure that graduation requirements will not be lowered. Requires that priority for certain grants be given to community-based organizations intending to establish or operate model secondary school community education employment centers to provide inner-city, low-income youths with certain education, skills, support services, and enrichment to ensure graduation from secondary school and transition to postsecondary education and/or employment. Requires local educational agencies or individual schools receiving such grant assistance to report annually to the State on assisted activities and progress toward increasing the secondary school completion rate. Requires the State to report such information to the Secretary of Education (the Secretary). Requires the Secretary to use such information to create an information base on dropout prevention programs. Directs the Secretary to: (1) make grants to regional laboratories for identification, dissemination, and replication assistance with respect to model programs for dropout prevention and reentry; and (2) provide funds to the National Diffusion Network to replicate model programs.
