Former Gov. Spitzer & Say Yes to Education pilot 4 years ago

Plan for a Free College Education A boon for Syracuse parents is tucked away in the bowels of the budget. Under a pilot program, the Spitzer administration is proposing that Syracuse high school graduates be eligible for free tuition to any State University of New York or City University of New York college. The proposal will require the approval of the Legislature and is expected to cost a couple of million dollars annually within a few years. Would the program expand beyond Syracuse? While the Syracuse effort is linked to a program by the private Say Yes to Education foundation, Manuel Rivera, the state’s deputy secretary for education, said, “The success of the demonstration will determine future expansion of the program.”

El Diablo
I am a blogger, certified public school administrator and school attendance teacher. I studied American education history at the doctoral level defended a thesis on the Puerto Rican bibliophile Arthur A. Schomburg (1874-1938). I have lectured extensively, serving as a curator of exhibits on Schomburg in many institutions in Central and Western New York. I am one of the few Schomburg scholars today lecturing on his Puerto Rican heritage, and his contributions to the history of American education and black intellectual history. Also, a tenured school attendance teacher, served as chairperson of the New York State Attendance Teachers Association and executive board member. Also, past delegate chair, delegate, alternate, council of delegates in the union, and New York State Delegate to the NEA Representative Assembly.
