STATEMENT FROM NYC CHARTER SCHOOL CENTER CEO JAMES MERRIMAN ON GOVERNOR CUOMO’S COLLEGE AFFORDABILITY PLAN

(New York, NY) Please credit the following statement to James Merriman, CEO of the New York City Charter School Center:

“We applaud Governor Cuomo’s visionary proposal to make college affordable for all. It is the right thing to do. Charter school teachers and leaders will continue to ensure that their largely at-risk students can take full advantage of the program by preparing them for the rigors of college, so that not only will students get a chance to attend, they’ll have the means to succeed.”
