105 Promise Grads Stay Enrolled:

  This article is about the New Haven Promise students are persisting in college thanks to a partial scholarship, and 10 have put their studies on hold. 103 Promise students enrolled in college in the fall, earning $45,000 in scholarships. Because the program is being phased in, they received up to 25 percent of the scholarship, which is up to full tuition at public in-state colleges and universities and up to $2,500 at in-state private nonprofit colleges and universities. Of that group, Yagla said, 10 are not currently enrolled in school. Some alerted Promise ahead of time that they’re taking the spring semester off for “personal reasons.” Others who hadn’t enrolled in the fall did enroll in the spring, bringing the total to 105 students currently enrolled, for a total scholarship of $48,000.

New Haven state law maker calls for major inroads in reading skills for children:

  After a great amount of students were put  in summer school for lacking in reading skills. The district decided that a new way of teaching was needed to help the students learn and work better.  There would be some exceptions, such as students with limited English language skills who have received less than two years help as English language learners, and some special education students.

  Holder-Winfield also wants to decrease the number of students who are mistakenly put in special education classes, but whose real problem is a lack of reading skills.
