| Hello/Intro Kids Return to index of stories... |
But first some Encouraging news when it comes to the health and welfare of our children. Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. For the 3rd year in a row -- New Hampshire ranks 2nd in the nation in a new study on the well being of children. The "Kids Count 2004 " study measures such things as child poverty, teen birth rates, child death rates, and 2 family households. There was one area, however, in which New Hampshire did poorly-- the high school drop out rate. It's up 50% from 5 years ago. In 19-96 it was at 6-percent. By 2001 it had jumped to 9 percent. NH now ranks 24th in the nation in the high school drop out rate. Here to talk about the latest findings and the implications are: Steve Varnum, Director of Public Policy for The Children's Alliance of New Hampshire, and Nicholas Donohue, the state's Commissioner of Education. Q Steve Varnum: Let's talk about the study. How important is the information gleaned in this "Kids Count" report? What is it used for? |

Q Commissioner Donohue: The high school drop out rate is troubling -- up 50%. To what do we attribute the dramatic increase in the drop out rate? Q This didn't happen overnite -- What's being done to turn the drop out rate around? Q Steve Varnum: Anecdotal evidence as to WHY students are leaving school ? Q Is there a correlation between the state's funding of Education and the high drop-out rate? Q STEVE: Let's talk about some of the other categories in the STUDY. In 2002, 10-thousand NH residents aged 18-24 , didn't have a job or a post high-school education. What does that mean for that young person's future? Q CMSR DONOHUE: NH has the lowest child poverty rate in the nation. In 2000 only 7-percent lived in poverty. How does that play into the high school drop out rate? Q Steve Varnum: I've heard you quote statistices that indicate that: 25% of 4th grade students score below BASIC reading level. That can't bode well for a student's education or future for that matter. Q CMRS DONOHUE: Are we not expecting enough of our kids, of our schools? Other states Q STEVE VARNUM: NH's teen birth rate is at a national LOW. 10 per 1-thousand births in 2001 We must be doing something right in that department. Q Is there reason for OPTIMISM -- or --could the drop out rate go even HIGHER? Q The KIDS COUNT study certainly gives us a WAKE UP call.lets us know where improvement is needed? Alarming numbers on DISCONNECTED youth -- --what you might call "at risk" kids. Kids failed by public systems -- likely to falter in adulthood. What happens if we don't reach these kids???? How do we ALTER the future of these young adults.??? |
| Intro Abuse Return to index of stories... |
Over the past few years, the number of reported child abuse cases has risen slightly in the state. It may be partly due to the economy. But a higher number of reports might also signal better awareness and collaboration between agencies. Julie Donnelly looks at how child and animal advocates are working together to stop both kinds of abuse. |
| Intro Teen Art Center Return to index of stories... |
In late April, a popular teen art center called "Hot Couch" closed its doors. The after school center located on Elm Street in Manchester lost funding and was forced to shut down. However, the teens that hung out there have not called it quits. Next Tuesday they're fund-raising by auctioning off what they love - their artwork. |
