Dropout Recovery Discussion Group
AYPF has been convening a series of discussion groups to move toward the development of policy guidelines that can be used as policymakers wrestle with the challenges of improving educational outcomes for all high school-aged students. We have invited a range of individuals and organizations to participate in these discussion groups to ensure a cross section of views and perspectives.

Accomodations in Washington, DC
If you will be joining us from out of town and will stay overnight in Washington, we recommend the Jury’s Washington Hotel. Note that the July 23, 2007 meeting will take place at the Hotel Palomar, which is available at a slightly higher rate. If you would like to stay at either the Jury’s Hotel or Hotel Palomar, call 1-866-534-6835 for Jurys or Slava Lutikova at 202-448-1834 for Palomar and let the hotel know you’re with the American Youth Policy Forum group so you get the AYPF preferred room rate.
