The Fulton Board of Education heard about the district’s distinct opportunity to participate in a “cutting edge” experiment designated to only six school districts in New York State. Partnering with Cayuga Community College, FCSD is moving forward with the Dual Enrollment Experimental Site Initiative as the U.S. Department of Education pairs 44 colleges throughout the country with low-income high school students eligible for PELL grant funding for college courses to start working earlier toward the completion of a degree program. FCSD specifically has initially targeted 35 Bodley High School students that would be eligible for PELL grant funds to complete a minimum of 12 credit hours through courses at CCC Fulton Campus while also enrolled and earning the necessary credits at GRB.
The Fulton City School District Board of Education approved four new course offerings that will serve as dual enrollment providing high school students with college course credits. The board heard from high school principal Donna Parkhurst as she presented the courses and what they offer to students. While the school already partners with Cayuga Community College, Onondaga Community College, SUNY ESF, SUNY Oswego and Rochester Institute of Technology to total more than 20 college courses already offered, the four new courses will be offered through CCC.
The Fulton campus course will be held Thursdays, September 10 through October 29, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The Auburn campus course will be held Sundays, September 13 through November 1, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Both groups will finish before the 2009 SAT test dates of November 7 and December 5. […]
