Forum To Discuss West Virginia Dropouts
WEST VIRGINIA....
Generation Charleston, an organization of young professionals, says West Virginia's 17 percent dropout rate is troubling. The organization and the Education Alliance will host a policy forum Tuesday evening to come up with a legislative initiative aimed at lowering the rate. State and national education leaders have been invited. Several ideas will be presented to groups of eight to 10 participants, who will discuss them and make recommendations. The groups then will present the initiatives to all forum attendees, who will pick one that best deals with the dropout issue.
