Graduation rate as academic goal

Graduation rate was discussed by the Board of Education Tuesday as a potential measure for the school system's academic goal.

In the board's committee of the whole meeting Tuesday, Superintendent Del Burns recommended that the WCPSS board, staff, and community commit to raising graduation rates to 90 percent by 2013 and to 95 per cent by 2015.

Assistant Superintendent David Holdzkom talks about the graduation rate and using it as an academic goal.
