OUR APPROACH

The High Cost of High School Dropouts: What the Nation Pays for Inadequate High Schools, Nov 2013
I think the new stat page from kevin had 1
dropover every 26 sec?
I also like the stat about prison – 75% of those in prison do not have a HS
diploma.
3,000,000 every year
8,300 every school day
1 every 26 seconds

to fill middle-skilled jobs
More than
12 million remain unemployed
