This white paper, prepared for and funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, examines the roles that various levels of government play through legislation, policy, and other initiatives that support quality alternative education programs to reconnect youth to education and the workplace. It raises issues for policymakers at all levels to consider in facilitating the development of expanded alternative education pathways, which reduce the number of students dropping out of school and provide well-lit re-entry points for those who leave school before obtaining a diploma.
