The New York Times: Massachusetts Governor Proposes Free Community Colleges
Community colleges in Massachusetts would be free to all students within 10 years under a proposal by Gov. Deval Patrick.
The plan would make Massachusetts the only state with no-cost community college. California’s system was free until 1984.
The plan is part of a broader 10-year proposal Mr. Patrick, a Democrat, unveiled Friday in a commencement address at the University of Massachusetts Boston. It calls for universal prekindergarten, full-day kindergarten and extending the school day and school year.
