With such funds as are appropriated for this purpose, the Board of Education shall establish a program for the prevention of school dropout. All school divisions shall be eligible to receive such grants under the following conditions:

2. The program includes a component specifically designed to eliminate the poor academic achievement among disadvantaged students in the school divisions; and
3. The program includes a component for oversight and evaluation of program effectiveness.
The Board of Education shall establish a full-time dropout prevention unit and shall employ such professional and support staff as may be necessary to implement the grants program, provide coordination for the statewide dropout prevention program and technical assistance to school divisions and to monitor such local dropout prevention programs to ensure compliance and uniformity in the interpretation and application of such rules and regulations as may be adopted by the Board.
