A big article today in the T&G lauding the smaller number of dropouts this past year (it's a 0.4% decline, but any decline is good news). Please note, by the way, that the chart on the front page goes up in units of 2; the disparities aren't nearly as large as they might seem.
Why should we care?
For one, dropouts are currently losing jobs at a greater rate than any other group.
(And while former Superintendent Caradonio has a point in the turnover in urban areas, it doesn't deal with why Ware and Royalston have such high rates.)
