DESCRIPTION:Students, parents, and community members will come together at “Dropout 
 kNOw More!” a community event to increase awareness about the alarming 
 dropout rates in the Fresno Unified School District. Current high school 
 student leaders will share their stories of the struggles they face through 
 personal testimony, performance art and poetry. Additionally, they will 
 share their proposals to help decrease the dropout rates in Fresno Unified 
 and how they can work with the district to ensure students receive the 
 education they deserve. \n\nStudent leaders have identified the following 3 
 areas as major contributors to why students dropout:  \n\n•	Unfair and 
 inconsistent discipline policies. \n•	Lack of good and healthy 
 student/teacher communication and connection.\n•	Lack of culturally 
 relevant curriculum that reflects the diversity of Fresno Unified.\n\nThis 
 event will give a human face to the dropout rates and further Californian 
 For Justice’s campaign “Educacion sin Barreras/Education without 
 Borders,” which aims to prevent and reduce high school dropout rates in 
 Fresno. \n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/08/09/18655752.php
