In addition to ongoing programs, which are already lowering the dropout rate, the bill appropriates $600,000 for pilot programs in Nashua and Manchester, expanding them to multiple other communities. The bill exempts home-schoolers. This bill is in the best interest of our students; it raises expectations and sends an important message that education is crucial to future success. Higher completion rates lower social costs, because students who drop out earn less money and are more likely to end up on Medicaid or in prison. The bill was supported by the BIA, NH Retail Merchants, the Auto Dealers Association, law enforcement, NEA/AFT, and various school administrators and school boards."}, {"side": "Minority", "author": "Rep. Michael B. Asselin", "committee": "Education", "text": "The committee minority believes this bill, as proposed, is a flawed bill. The proponents of the bill stated that by raising the age of compulsory school attendance from 16 to 18 it will increase expectations of students and fewer students will drop out. Currently a student can drop out at age 16 only if the parents agree (and there also has to be a meeting with the school principal). This bill takes away the parental rights and replaces the parents with the school superintendent. The minority believes the parental rights in making this decision about their children should be protected. The committee minority also presented evidence from the 2002 Cornell University Policy Analysis on the Effectiveness of Raising the Compulsory School Attendance (CSA) Age to Eighteen on Increasing High School Graduation Rates in New York State. The study concluded.\" The completion rates and dropout rates of CSA-18 States do not conclusively suggest that raising the CSA to 18 would be effective in lowering dropout rates and increasing completion rates. Although some CSA-18 States have impressive completion rates, others do not. However, the benefits of raising the CSA to 18 could outweigh the costs if the State included additional funding for supplemental programs. Without such additional measures, it is risky to assume that a change in legislation will result in the desired effects.\" An additional evaluation of the New York legislation concluded \"This policy (increasing the CSA age to 18) has been shown to be completely unsuccessful in increasing completion rates and only slightly successful in decreasing dropout rates.\" This bill makes the same flaw as the New York legislation. It increases the CSA age to 18 without providing statewide additional funding for supplemental programs to address dropout prevention and recovery. Proponents say the money will be added in separate legislation, if this bill passes. The committee minority offered to interim study this bill and develop a bi-partisan bill to fund the needed programs statewide. The committee majority refused, preferring to identify costs later after passing this bill. The committee minority believes this is not how State mandates should be passed (without knowing the costs). Experience in other states, which have increased the CSA age to 18 without additional statewide funding, shows us that significant problems will be created. In California, a number of school districts had to build new schools for the students who were not allowed to leave and were disruptive to the students who wanted to learn. In Texas, the truancy rates significantly increased and additional costs were incurred to form Absentee Review Boards and to prosecute parents who were allowing their kids to drop out of school. Who will pay these potential costs in New Hampshire?"}], "source": "House Calendar 30, 2006", "date": "2006-04-07", "dated": "printed", "cite": "HC 30", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2006%5CNo%2030%20April%207%202006.pdf"}], "docket_reports": [{"date": "2006-03-08", "dated": "recorded", "body": "S", "committee": "Education", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "1291", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 10", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2006%5CSC%2010.pdf"}, {"date": "2006-03-20", "dated": "recorded", "body": "S", "committee": "Finance", "side": "", "recommendation": "OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT", "vote_yeas": null, "vote_nays": null, "amendment": "1459", "new_title": false, "cite": "SC 11A", "cite_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2006%5CSC%2011A.pdf"}], "report_actions": [], "veto_message": null, "bill_note": null, "subject": "Education - General", "subject_source": "granite record", "house_committee": "Education", "senate_committee": "Education", "lsr": "2006-2801", "docket_url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=2801&sy=2006&txtsessionyear=2006&txtbillnumber=sb268&sortoption=billnumber", "documents": [{"label": "Bill status page", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/Bill_status.aspx?lsr=2801&sy=2006&txtsessionyear=2006&txtbillnumber=sb268&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "status"}, {"label": "Docket", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/bill_status/legacy/bs2016/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=2801&sy=2006&txtsessionyear=2006&txtbillnumber=sb268&sortoption=billnumber", "kind": "docket"}, {"label": "SC 1", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2006%5CSC%2001.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 5", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2006%5CSC%2005.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 10", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2006%5CSC%2010.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "SC 11A", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/senate/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=Calendars%5C2006%5CSC%2011A.pdf", "kind": "record"}, {"label": "HC 30", "url": "https://gc.nh.gov/house/calendars_journals/viewer.aspx?fileName=calendars%5C2006%5CNo%2030%20April%207%202006.pdf", "kind": "record"}], "amendments": [{"num": "1291", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2006-03-16", "body": "S", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1459", "kind": "Committee Amendment", "where": "committee", "date": "2006-03-22", "body": "S", "adopted": true, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "", "proposed_by": "", "text": "", "source": "", "targets": [], "supersedes": []}, {"num": "1498", "kind": "Floor Amendment", "where": "floor", "date": "2006-03-22", "body": "S", "adopted": false, "vote_kind": "VV", "mover": "Sen.

Based on dropout data from the 2004-2005 school year, 966 students who dropped out of school were under the age of 18. The Department further indicated that 1,500 students represent approximately 2% of current high school enrollment, and such an increase should not require additional facilities or teachers. The Department made the following assumptions concerning the fiscal impact of this bill:\n\n\u2022 Students covered by catastrophic aid do not drop out of school before the age of 18.\n\n\u2022 Fourteen percent of the total student population is special education students. The dropout rate for special education students is 2.5 times the overall rate but most of these students are over 18 years old. The Department\u2019s best estimate is that 30% of 16 and 17 year old dropouts are special education students.\n\n\u2022 The rate of free or reduced lunch eligibility last year was 13%. The Department estimates that 30% of the 16 and 17 year old dropouts are eligible for free or reduced lunch.\n\n\u2022 Last year 700 students received one or more hour per day of limited English proficiency. The Department estimates fewer than 200 of these students were 16 or 17, and less than 40 dropped out.\n\n\u2022 The inflation adjustment used for determining equitable education grants will be at the cap of 3% in each of the next three biennia.\n\n\u2022 With an effective date of July 1, 2008, the first year in which enrollment will be impacted is FY 2009. This enrollment will be used for FY 2012 equitable education aid.\n\nThe Department does not expect there will be any fiscal impact to school districts before FY 2012 since the small increase in enrollment will not increase the need for additional facilities or teachers. Based on the assumptions above and beginning in FY 2012, state expenditures for equitable education grants and local revenue will both increase by an estimated $4,200,000 per year.\n\nThe Department assumes section 5 of this bill establishes programs to identify students at risk of dropping out. These students will be provided with alternative education programming at the Manchester and Nashua Regional Career and Technical Centers.
