Schools to Raise Dropout Age in Tri County Districts
Four Tri County districts plan to raise the high school dropout age from 16 to 18 for 2015 16 and seek a $10000 state grant for dropout prevention. Education Commissioner Holliday offered grants to the first 57 districts raising the age, after a Board of Education vote urged all 174 districts to act. Governor Beshear signed the related bill in Frankfort seven days later.
