House Committee Raises Dropout Age
A divided House Education Committee—split by timing questions rather than concept—has reported legislation that would increase the dropout age to 18.
The measure, House Bill 4042, would require students currently in the 7th Grade to complete all graduation requirements or attain the age of 18 to leave school.

Graduation and Dropout Application Rollout Workshop Announcement
This message comes from our member, John Petitto, Avondale HS:
This is an announcement for the new graduation and dropout application training workshop to be conducted by the MPAAA and CEPI. Building administrators need to be aware of the changes in the report, the processing of information, and the subsequent audit requirements. THIS IS ALL NEW.
MPAAA members:
As most of you are (hopefully) aware, CEPI has spent several years in the
process of converting our graduation and dropout rate calculations from the old 1-year-at-a-time approach, to the new 4-year cohort.
