The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, November 12, 1997 - A9 Help coming for dropouts THE SCHOOL district is trying to reach children and teens who've dropped out of school. Trustees have approved a plan to hire an outreach worker. That person would approach these youths at hang- outs and at their homes, perhaps taking them out for cof- fee. Through such a low-key approach the school district hopes the worker can convince youths to retum to school. Andrew Scruton, director of instruction for the school district, made this proposal at a school district meeting car- lier this month. Right now there are a number of altematives for students who can’t handle regular school, for whatever reason, If counselors can’t help, then there's Lakelse Alternate school. For young mothers, PACES provides a place for infants and toddlers, while they study. If students stil] have trouble with that much structure, they can tum to the Teen Learning Centre. That school is designed for students with behaviour problems and low academic skills. However, it’s currently full at 36 students, and has a wait list. Scruton pointed out that there are a significant number of youth not attending any of these schools. He thinks that an outreach worker would be able to con- tact these students, perhaps convincing some of them to retum to school, Others who aren't ready, even for the less structured at- mosphere of the Teen Learning Centre, would be en- couraged to lake correspondence courses.

Scruton estimates that an outreach worker, working six hours a day, would cost the district about $37,536 — including correspondence courses.

Fewer children than expected showed up in classes in September when families moved out of the area because of the Skeena Cellulose crisis.
