ArchivesTune Out, Drop Out, May 3, 2009 "...Virginia now counts dropouts by assigning students individual identification numbers that allow them to be followed throughout their school careers. No longer will it be easy for students to disappear or for systems to gloss over their numbers."   State Board of Education launches review of Standards of Quality, April 30, 2009 "The action came after several school district superintendents reminded the board of its obligation to a quality education—not to bean counters."   Candidates Agree on Preschool Funding, April 24, 2009 "All three Democratic candidates and McDonnell said they favored expanding preschool programs."   Crime Solution Must Include Improving Graduation Rates, April 18, 2009 "An exceedingly high percentage of scholastically unattached students and dropouts become involved with illicit drugs and crime, have children while they are still teenagers, and end up living in poverty."
