Bennington Program aims to cut dropouts at MAUHS
Mt Anthony Union High School staffer Ralph Wright outlines the Bennington Program to the Bennington Rotary Club. The plan fields 30 students for a month long 260 mile hike along the Long Trail and integrates home and community life, work study with local professionals, and a mobile campus to study cultures in Quebec and cities such as Washington and New York. Wright notes the $91,000 cost but argues long term savings if community support is secured.
