Unbelievable amount of money been wasted, and the humans lives been wasted is priceless! still our budget is not balance. Stop dropouts and as result, the budget finds the funds that will balance it. Harmony!
“California’s high school dropouts cost state taxpayers approximately $46.4 billion annually, according to a recent study by the California Dropout Research Project (CDRP) at the UC Linguistic Minority Research Institute located at UC Santa Barbara. In addition, the authors estimate that the economic benefit from effective dropout intervention programs would be $392,000 per high school graduate.”
