amendment No. 2137 is about early college high school. This is a program that is working incredibly well around the country, both to get young people through high school and to increase graduation rates, which is part of the objective of this legislation, and also to get them not just into college but to stay in college. All of the experience from this program indicates it is working. I had a recent opportunity to visit the Dayton Early College High School, the academy, and 100 percent of their graduates are from a low- income area. Almost every single one of the students were either the first generation to go to college or into the military. Their retention rate in college is incredibly impressive. This amendment encourages more of that. Early college high schools are working. It is part of the reform effort that is being undertaken in my State and others, and I strongly encourage a ``yes'' vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Delaware.
