Lowering the Droput Rate – Massachusetts Debates Raising School Dropout Age to 18
October 14, 2013 /
Massachusetts is the latest state to consider raising the dropout age for students to 18 in an effort to improve graduation rates.
A bill, sponsored by Democratic state Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz, would also standardize use of an early warning system that would alert school administrators when a student might be at risk for dropping out. The state would also provide funding for schools to establish graduation coaches, following in Georgia’s footsteps.
