Schenectady school district to host college readiness program for eighth graders

Summer programming in GEAR UP is one of the key activities impacting student outcomes. Schenectady City School District in New York held a college preparatory experience this summer to expose students to GEAR UP and college. “I support any program that prepares our students for beyond the K-12 years,” Schenectady School Board President Bernice Rivera said. “Anything we can do, especially to partner with other organizations and school organizations to further the success of our students, I’m very much in favor of that.”
