3.03 Student Dropout Unit Price

If any student drops out or otherwise leaves either the Reading or Mathematics programs through no fault of Thiokol Chemical Corporation and for cause as

8/13/70

defined, the unit price for each such student shall be computed on the basis of the percentage of instructional hours the dropout was in attendance out of the total number of hours (180) of the program. The unit price to be paid for the dropout shall be that percentage of the price payable for the average pre- to post-test gains for all students enrolled in the appropriate program or programs, and average interim performance test achievement.

Whenever possible, all student dropouts shall be administered post-tests by the Auditing Contractor. If a dropout has been in the program for more than half an instructional year, and has been post-tested, the results of the post-test shall form the basis for computing the payment due the Thiokol Corporation in place of the formula presented in the previous paragraph. The unit price for each such dropout shall be determined by extrapolating his actual gain to the total gain he would have achieved if he remained in the program to its completion, and also by extrapolating his achievement on interim performance tests taken. The unit price paid to Thiokol Corporation will be the proportional part of the price payable for the projected gain and interim test performance determined from the number of hours the student was in the program. Thiokol Corporation shall not be paid any cost or fee for any student who drops out of the program for any reason not stipulated in paragraph 2.04.

3.04 Replacement Students

The unit price for students who are placed in the program as replacements for dropouts shall be calculated on the same basis as those described for dropouts in the two preceding paragraphs.

3.05 Students Not Tested

If a student is unable to take any regularly scheduled test that is a basis for Contractor reimbursement or regularly scheduled make-up tests, and if said student has been in attendance at the Accelerated Learning Achievement Center no less than eighty-five (85%) per cent of the time for the instructional period being evaluated, it shall be assumed that said student's score is the same as the average test or gain score, whichever is appropriate, for all students in that Accelerated Learning Achievement Center or the same grade level as said student.

3.06 Limitation of Payment

8/13/70

Within forty-five (45) days after the final postmeasure test results are established and reported by the Auditing Contractor to the Contractor, the Contractor shall submit an adjusted final voucher with detailed supporting information for each unit price for each subject for each student enrolled in the program and total additional amounts that may be due in all subject areas. 4.00 MANAGEMENT SERVICES
