Terry Stutz reports:
AUSTIN – Can the governor of Texas do anything to combat the state's mediocre high school graduation rate?
Past governors haven't had much success – if they tried at all. And Republican Gov. Rick Perry says he's making progress in cracking the decades-old problem.
But his challenger in the race for governor, Democrat Bill White, contends he would do much more, touting a dropout recovery program he started as mayor of Houston that later spread to Dallas, Fort Worth and other cities.
While the two candidates agree that Texas' future will be brighter if more students graduate and fewer drop out, they disagree on the magnitude of the problem and what to do about it.
