  9. “We must pull the weeds before we plant new seeds.”

  10. Startling Statistics: • Nationally, 3 of 10 students will not graduate in the typical 4 years. (more than 4 out of 10 for African American and Hispanic students) • 75% of high school dropouts were not working in 2004. • Texas dropouts cost this state over $32 billion dollars annually. • Class of 2011- cost $9.6billion

  11. Startling Statistics: • High school dropouts are twice as likely to live in poverty. • 7 of the 10 fastest growing career fields require some college. • Businesses report students are not leaving school with the required skill set to enter the workforce.

  12. Where does that leave us? “The decision to drop out is a dangerous one for the student. Dropouts are much more likely than their peers who graduate to be unemployed, living in poverty, receiving public assistance, in prison, on death row, unhealthy, divorced, and single parents with children who drop out from high school themselves.” Silent Epidemic 2008
