How does a student dropout of high school in New York?

[Jessica Liao]

My friend is 15 years old right now. He turns 16 in July. Can he still dropout with parental consent? Can he still ask the school that he is not returning to school next year even though he is 15 years old currently? I don’t understand how this works. Does he have to be 16 to dropout? If that is the case, then he has to go back to school next year. Please tell me which one is the correct way. And provide a SOURCE! Give me an accurate answer. If you don't know the answer, PLEASE DON'T ANSWER! DON'T GIVE ME STUPID ANSWERS WITHOUT SOURCES. FOR EXAMPLE, DON'T SAY "MOST STOP GOING". THAT'S NOT A GOOD ANSWER. THIS PERSON DIDN'T EVEN ANSWER MY QUESTION. IS IT THAT HARD TO ANSWER A QUESTION?

Once again, I am not asking how many people dropout of high school. I want to know how a student dropout of high school. Don't give me the prevention of high school dropouts. I am NOT interested in that. I am interested in an answer that ACTUALLY answers my question.
Remember to provide a source for your answer.

I am not sure what the proper etiquette is for quitting but I know that right after he can go to McDonald's or a gas station for a job.

I'd hope they can get the needed information from their guidance consular.
