Montana Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau’s legislative agenda: Higher dropout age, funding for older students

After officially releasing her 2015 Legislative Agenda on Monday, Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau said her top priorities were to raise the legal dropout age to 18 and to provide funding to schools for 19-year-old students.

Efforts to accomplish both goals have been stymied in previous legislative sessions, and Juneau is hoping this time around will be different.

"We really would like the Legislature’s partnership in this effort," she said.
