Governor John Lynch has a plan he hopes will help prevent high school dropouts. Since we first aired this program, the Governor proposed legislation to increase the state's drop-out age from 16 to 18. The Governor says letting children drop out of school at 16 is the wrong policy for students and the state. The proposed change would go into effect for the 2008-2009 school year. Seventeen other states currently require students to stay in school until 18. |
