Peace Garden State's anti-dropout initiatives are finding success

North Dakota officials are touting a lower dropout number last year from the state’s high schools.

The 10 percent drop in dropouts goes along with a new effort to address such problems, The Grand Fords Herald reported. 

“This reduction in our dropout rate is an important step,” said Gov. Jack Dalrymple. “We will continue to work hard to identify the policies and programs that can further reduce the number of our students who drop out of high school.”
