$491K Grant Targets Dropouts

Hoping to keep kids in school, the Feds have ponied up $491,000 in grant money to the Gary Community School Corporation to create a plan to assist students in danger of dropping out and those who have already quit school, reports nwi.com. Published reports contained few details of what the dropout prevention and retention plan would involve.

Says Gary Mayor Rudy Clay:

"It's about taking young people that have dropped out of school and putting them back on the paths of being good students and good taxpaying citizens."
