Raising the Drop-Out Age

More than two-thousand teenagers drop out of New Hampshire schools every year and for more than a hundred years, they've been allowed to do it once they turn sixteen. A new proposal by Governor Lynch would change that age to eighteen. He hopes to lower that dropout number, but critics of the idea say that a lot more work is needed. Laura's guests are Nate Greenberg, Londonderry School Superintendent and Senator Iris Estabrook, a Democrat from Durham who is co-sponsoring the dropout legislation.
