Brumit explained his approach to the district's dropout rate in an interview with the Port City Daily:

We need to start looking ahead…We need more vocational training, a lot more...There are a lot of people, a lot of young adults, who should not be going to a four-year college. There are a lot of young adults who would rather get skills and go to work and get a decent job. We can help them do that by more attention to vocational training. Let’s give them an opportunity where they can achieve.[3]
