 Introduced  by  M. of A. BENEDETTO -- (at request of the State Education
   Department) -- read once and referred to the Committee on Education
 
 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation  to  continuing  the  New
   York  State  Smart  Scholars Early College High School Program and the
   New York State  Pathways  in  Technology  Early  College  High  School
   Program in this state
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1.  Legislative  intent.  The  legislature  hereby  finds  and
 declares  it necessary to preserve and continue the New York State Smart
 Scholars early college high school program and the New York state  path-
 ways  in  technology  early college high school program (P-TECH program)
 which provide various students, including those traditionally  underrep-
 resented  in  post-secondary  education,  with the opportunity to access
 college-level courses and college degree  credits  at  the  high  school
 level  with  the  combined  support of high school and college staff and
 resources, and for P-TECH programs, career training and employment in  a
 highly  skilled  job  upon completion of the program. The New York State
 Smart Scholars early college high  school  program  not  only  increases
 students'  access  to higher education, but also reduces potential costs
 for students in completing college degrees by allowing  them  to  either
 complete  a  degree  upon  graduation from high school or to apply their
 earned college credits towards an associate's or baccalaureate's degree.
 This innovative program provides incentives to high school  students  to
 proceed  to  college  and to earn a college degree by accelerating their
 overall completion of  a  degree.  It  also  better  prepares  them  for
 college-level  coursework,  which, will in turn, increase their academic
 performance.  Ultimately, this program increases graduation  rates  both
 at  the  high  school  and  college  levels, especially for academically
 at-risk students.
