Errata: As of October, 2000, I have corrected several typos within the study only one of which is of major significance. There was an error in the formatting of the Presage formula missed in the proofreadings that was brought to my attention by Mr. Brian Larson, a resident of Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District. I truly appreciate his informing me of this very much. The correct Presage formula should be: Presage Score = (Mean Family Income/1000) - (%FreeReducedLunch + %ADC + %EcoDis). Please note that the correct formula was used in doing the study, the one that was given in the text was incorrect.
