Regional Drop Out Summit Tomorrow

Shelley and I will be attending a regional drop out prevention summit tomorrow out at Mountwood Park, at our Alliance partner's Pressley Ridge's White Oak facility. These drop out summits around the state are part of America's Promise national effort to raise the issues and dialogues surrounding high school graduation rates and drop out students' situations. Our two VISTA's have been working diligently on these summits around the state. We see so many shelter youth, and youth in foster care whose primary "problems" are related to school performance, behavior and alienation.
