EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Educators in school districts across the country have expressed a need for
help in developing a comprehensive student services system. This publication
has been developed in response to that need. It serves as follow-up to a paper
developed by the National Center for Research in Vocational Education's Office
of Student Services (OSS) that offered a rationale and a model for a
comprehensive student services system--Student Services: Achieving Success
for All Secondary Students. In the text, the reader will find a description
of the services high schools should provide under such a system. This paper
also focuses on the common features of a comprehensive student services
delivery system and provides a description of three initiatives. The final
section offers a guide to developing a comprehensive student services system.
Each of the sections in this publication contains questions and activities
that will help school districts in the process of developing or redesigning
their student services system. Because each school system is unique, specific
solutions are not offered, but, rather, simple, practical steps educators can
use to build a system to meet their school's unique needs are suggested. This
publication is designed for use in conjunction with the OSS BRIEF, Improving
Student Services in Secondary Schools, included in Appendix A.
