It's my honor to introduce Dr. David Longanecker to the committee.

A Federal change to existing FERPA guidelines to explicitly allow the sharing of student data backward down the education pipeline would greatly assist in the tracking of student preparedness and progress.

I particularly liked your reference to Washington State's model of public/private partnerships. That's exactly the kind of collaboration we need so that we can provide more opportunities for kids to pursue important STEM fields in this…

we can sustain this commitment that's been made.

the Federal Government ought to help us maintain this program, that we ought to be able to cover the increasing cost

I'm sorry. Is that for economic reasons?

I think it's important for the students that are there to hear that.

What are your challenges? What are your successes? And how can we bring more resources...

Since its founding in 1960, as you noted earlier, Senator Bennet, Morris has waived more than $20 million in tuition for American Indian students.

The State's obligation would continue.

how that might improve the quality of your program or help you improve the quality of your program for Native American students, in particular?
