Always recycle The Mon-Thurs: 5:25, 7:35 i "Failure To Launch" Mon-Thurs: 4:40. 7:25 States look to legislation to reduce dropout rates Associated Press Indianapolis Stephan Howell, 18, got in a lot of fights in his Indianapolis high school.

He was suspended often missing enough school to forfeit credit for some classes; By his senior year, Howell was told he would have to go to school for an extra year and a half if he wanted a diploma. "I didn't know I was that far behind," Howell said. Howell dropped out, becoming one of an estimated 1 million high school students nationwide who fail to graduate each year, according to the Alliance for Excellent Education in Washington, D.C. Pressured to bpost graduation rates under No Child Left Behind, districts nationwide are looking for ways to keep students like Howell in school. And many are turning to lawmakers for answers.

Indiana this month passed a bill that would allow students under 18 to drop out only because of health, financial or court reasons. New Hampshire, West Virginia and Iowa introduced bills this year that would raise the age at which students can drop out from 16 to 18. The New Hampshire Senate gave preliminary approval to the measure; the West Virginia and Iowa bills died. Educators, lawmakers and social service agencies say finding a solution is crucial. Studies say dropouts are more likely to wind up in prison or need public assistance than those who get a diploma, and schools can face sanctions under No Child Left Behind if their graduation rates fall short.

Critics doubt legislation is the answer-Jay Smink, executive director of the National Dropout Prevention Center at Clemson said some laws can be difficult to enforce. For example, more than two dozen states tie student attendance or achievement to driving privileges, according to the nonpartisan Education Commission the States. But Smink thinks the effects are "marginal." "There's bigger things that the BMV has to do than track down a dropout," he said. Some states have backed off legislative solutions to the dropout problem.
