Governor Granholm,
We ask you to change the high school drop out age from 16 to 18 and help
make the State of Michigan be more competitive. We need other
alternatives for students such as vocational programs where students can
gain valuable skills to enter the workforce.
We have great engineering schools in the State of Michigan so give our
youth the opportunity to be the new innovators of alternative energy and
renewable resources. High schools need classes and seminars to inform and
prepare students for the college application process.
Michigan is a great place to live and work! Let Michigan lead the way through innovation.
