Kentucky parents overwhelmingly favor increasing the state’s high school dropout age, according to the Kentucky Parent Survey.  The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky released the polling data, along with a comprehensive summary report for the complete survey, today.

“People may not realize that education is a health issue, but research tells us that completing high school is directly related to our health status in later life,” said Dr. Susan Zepeda, President/CEO of the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky.
