Issue Position: Graduation Matters

Issue Position

Currently, Montana has our highest graduation rates in history. When Montana's students graduate, we all reap the reward of a stronger economy and more opportunities for our students. I will work to ensure that a high school diploma is an indicator of students' accomplishments and readiness for college or career. There are multiple factors that could impact a student's ability to complete high school in four years and/or before they are 19 years old. I will work to extend state funding for 19 year olds so that all students have the opportunity to complete and obtain their high school diploma.
