In North Carolina, 131 students are dropping out every school day. That means more than 23,000 North Carolina students per year will end up in poor health, in low-paying jobs and relying on government assistance. Not to mention, high school dropouts are more likely to end up incarcerated or a teen parent.
Schools alone cannot solve the dropout crisis. Children need families and communities advocating for them too. You, your friends, family and employer can make a difference by speaking up.
