 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to continuing  the  early
   college  high  school  program  and  the  pathways in technology early
   college high school program in this state; and making an appropriation
   therefor
 
   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  early
 college high school program and the New York state pathways in technolo-
 gy  early  college  high  school  program (P-TECH program) in this state
 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  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.
   The P-TECH program, through  a  public-private  partnership,  prepares
 thousands  of  New  York  students  for high-skill jobs of the future in
 technology, manufacturing, healthcare and finance.  The  P-TECH  program
 provides  students  with  a rigorous, relevant and cost-free high school
