What are the Regents doing to raise the graduation rate?
The Regents have taken many actions to improve our graduation rate. More students are graduating each year. And the graduation rate has been increasing, but far too slowly. We require that students get extra help if the tests show they need it. We have increased the number of highly qualified teachers. The State has invested more funds in high need schools and has required that schools invest the money in programs that are proven to work. That investment needs to continue.
