 American Graduate- Southern California Core Hub Community Currently 55% of all Los Angeles Unified School District 9th graders fail to earn enough credits to guarantee promotion to 10th grade. Every year more than 20,000 students appear on the city-wide Dropout List. *KOCE, KVCR, and KLCS will work together as a public broadcasting consortium to provide dropout prevention resources to all the communities of Southern California. By combining direct service to youth, teacher professional development, parent education, and business/workforce connections, the consortium will be able to leverage initiative resources with partners to make a direct and substantial impact on dropout prevention throughout the entire Southern California region. As a partner in this grant, LAUSD Pupil Services will participtate in coordinating a Town Hall on Dropout Prevention for the City of Los Angeles in May of 2012.
