School districts are required to report monthly participation in dropout recovery programs to ADE and include newly enrolled students with a learning plan, students who met the satisfactory monthly progress expectation, students who did not meet the progress expectation and students who met expectations for program reentry (A.R.S. § 15-901.06).
