1. Orange should make a deal with Orange High School.
- In Kentucky, the Kentucky Department of Education promised to give grants to the first 57 school districts that changed their dropout age to 18.
- Orange should do something similar to this. Orange High School will receive money to support the school if 98% of the graduating class actually graduate each year over a two year period.
2. Orange High School should make a deal with the students.
- If 98% of the students graduate, then Project Graduation can be initiated.
3. Create a new school to get people to graduate.
- In Savannah, South Carolina, a new charter school program was designed to get dropouts to graduate.
- Orange should create a school or a program that dropouts or potential dropouts can attend to convince them to graduate high school. There can be workshops and fun field trips designed to keep them in school.
