  27. We know that… Communities that work together start with a shared responsibility for doing something about it. Teachers and educational officials can deal with this more effectively if the schools and the community work in tandem.

  28. “It’s our problem and it deserves to be a priority concern.” Communities that work together have a shared awareness of the seriousness of this issue, a conviction that it is their problem, and that it is a serious matter both for individuals who drop out and for the community as a whole.
