May Board of Ed: early college

 there is a backup here
established in 2018/19 school year
now 48 designated programs; 58 high schools
projecting 8200 students across the state
early college students succeed in college at a higher rate despite earlier academic levels
they're now listing the new ones which is a lot but mind-numbing to listen to
grants from DESE using ESSER funds

...what we aren't getting: any data on outcomes. or intakes

There are zero statistics being offered of who is in these programs, what the demographics are, and what is happening to the students who graduate from them.

But we're expanding like topsy. 

Canavan: ESSER going away: any plans?
A:Yes; notes legislature has been generous (but those are also grants)
West: what are the cost?
A; five year cycle grant
plus $180/credit (which we know isn't enough)
Have estimated $1000 a year for students 
Moriarty: outcomes, look forward when work is done
think first or second cohort have had a chance to earn a bachelor
A; third year of college for first cohort
Moriarty: impact on families
A: looking ahead, data to analyze
Moriarty: talk about onramping
A: students go through MCAP (?), provide tutoring for students
"My College and Career Academic Plan"
Rouhanifard: how many whole school models?
A: Five?
also larger high schools may have both two and four year partners
Rouhanifard: what does a typical day look like?
A: autonomy in making it work for the high school
Scheduling is a major stepping stone
built-in time for transportation is a requirement
huge variency
academic supports built into college coursework over course of week
Moriarty: thinks of his work on this "as happy time"
"Good stuff without the bad stuff"
"complex but sort of simple"
"it's almost inspiring...the way government is supposed to be working"
