A program was developed within the Baltimore City School System to comply with U.S. Public Laws 94-142 and 94-484. The program provided assessment, appropriate placement, counseling, work experience, and epilepsy education. Self-identified students were primarily black and poor, more likely to be either 1 year behind in reading or in special education. Seventy percent had psychosocial problems but for less than half were the problems directly related to seizures. The program decreased the nonpromotion rate and the dropout rate to less than half of that for the school system as a whole, and cut in half the percentage of youths who were unemployed or not in school or training 1 and 2 years after graduation. The per pupil cost was 10% greater than current expenditures for the system as a whole.
巴尔的摩市学校系统制定了一项计划,以遵守美国公法第94 - 142号和第94 - 484号。该计划提供评估、适当安置、咨询、工作经验和癫痫教育。自我认定的学生主要是黑人和贫困学生,他们更有可能在阅读方面落后一年或接受特殊教育。70%的学生有心理社会问题,但其中不到一半的问题与癫痫发作直接相关。该计划将留级率和辍学率降至整个学校系统的一半以下,并将毕业后1年和2年失业或未上学或未接受培训的青年比例减半。每个学生的花费比整个系统目前的支出高出10%。
