BEYOND THE HEADLINES
October 28, 2012
Dropout Prevention
Hosted by ABC7's Cheryl Jennings
This week's episode of "Beyond the Headlines" discusses the nationwide issue of Dropout Prevention. We explore options for students to stay on track and look at available resources to help them graduate.
According to America's Promise Alliance, one in four students drop out before finishing high school. We speak with various organizations that reach out to students at all grade levels to encourage them to continue their education.
