Concern for
the future of Kentucky’s youth has always
focused around education. It will come as a
surprise to no one that dropping out of
school is costly both personally to the
dropout and to the state’s economic growth.
The Kentucky Center for School Safety has
spent nearly a year quantifying just what
that means from a variety of cost factors.
Personal costs to the student, costs in lost
revenue for local and state government, and
collaborative costs due to higher prison and
welfare costs as well.
For the first
time, this research strives to demonstrate
through very real and concrete means that
not only students benefit when they graduate
from high school, but state and local
governments have a vested financial interest
in reducing dropout rates substantially.
