Save the Early College at YSU
Opinion: I attended a recent Youngs- town Board of Education meeting during which several principals presented with pride reports summarizing their schools’ achievements, student progress and the challenges of raising educational standards.

She made a convincing case for the continuation — at all costs — of the program.
