BRONSON, COLTON -- read once and referred to the Committee on Education AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the creation of an adult high school career accelerator demonstration project THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The education law is amended by adding a new article 107 to read as follows: ARTICLE 107 ADULT HIGH SCHOOL CAREER ACCELERATOR DEMONSTRATION PROJECT SECTION 5300. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS. 5301. DEFINITIONS. 5302. ADULT HIGH SCHOOL DEMONSTRATION CAREER ACCELERATOR PROJECT. 5303. TERM OF PROJECT; OPTION TO MAKE PERMANENT. § 5300. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS. SEVERAL STATES HAVE SUCCESSFULLY IMPLE- MENTED SECONDARY EDUCATION PROGRAMS GEARED TOWARDS THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF ADULT LEARNERS AND WHICH LEAD TO A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. BY COUPLING RIGOROUS ACADEMIC CURRICULA WITH TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT LEAD TO CREDEN- TIALS FOR IN-DEMAND JOBS AND EXTENSIVE WRAPAROUND SUPPORT SERVICES, THESE PROGRAMS CREATE AN ADULT-ORIENTED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO SUCCESS. THE LEGISLATURE HEREBY DECLARES THAT A PROPERLY STRUCTURED SECONDARY EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR ADULT LEARNERS WOULD REDUCE POVERTY LEVELS BY HELPING SUCH INDIVIDUALS' TRANSITION TO THE WORKFORCE OR TO POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION. THE CITY OF ROCHESTER AREA HAS MORE THAN THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND ADULTS WITHOUT HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMAS, CONTRIBUTING TO THE FACT THAT ITS POVERTY RATE IS HIGHER THAN IN ALL EIGHTEEN "BENCHMARK CITIES" OF SIMILAR SIZE AND FOURTH-WORST AMONG THE SEVENTY-FIVE LARGEST AMERICAN CITIES. THE CHILD POVERTY RATE IN ROCHESTER IS FIFTY AND ONE-HALF PERCENT. ACROSS EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted. LBD05172-01-1
