The Board of Education modified its policy at their regular Board of Education meeting on August 21st, 2007.  The Superintendent, Jeffrey R. Rabey stated, “This policy change is effective immediately and demonstrates the commitment of the Board of Education at improving the graduation rate and supporting the efforts of the teachers and administrators.”

The adjusted policy now reads, "The Board of Education will require minors from sixteen to seventeen years of age who are not employed full-time to attend full-time instruction until the end of the school year in which the student turns seventeen (17) years of age".

This policy also supports the newly established Board of Education goal, “Beginning with June 30th, 2008, the graduation rate will increase each year until it reaches 100% in 2017.”

Rabey commented, "Our focus is on the achievement of all of our students and there are several initiatives that have been put in place for this new school year and beyond, to accomplish this goal."
