A new report shows New Hampshire's high school drop out rate is much higher than once thought with as many as 1 in 4 students dropping out. We'll talk about what's behind these numbers, and what it takes to keep kids in school. Laura's guests are Doug Hall, NH Center for Public Policy, www.unh.edu/ipssr/nhcpps/, NH Education Commissioner Nick Donahue, NH Dept. of Education www.ed.state.nh.us/ and Guidance Counselor Mike Dolphin, Alvirne High, Hudson, NH www.seresc.k12.nh.us/~hudson/alvirne.html.
