 The Abell Report Newsletter, June-July 2004 June 7, 2004 - Baltimore City Community College (BCCC) is the only chance for many Baltimore City residents to obtain a post-secondary education, find a job with a career path, and earn a sufficient income to support a family. BCCC is a critical lynchpin in Baltimore's ability to build a competitive workforce and receives two-thirds of its public dollars directly from the State. With enrollment of 7,300 credit students, BCCC has generally graduated fewer than 270 students each year, which is a reflection of the insufficient academic foundation that students bring to the college. BCCC has historically struggled to move students through its developmental or remedial program--review courses in English and Math that 94 percent of new enrollees require. This report concludes that significant changes are required at BCCC, starting with a reconfiguration of its Board of Trustees. Download Full Publication Copyright 2002-2009 The Abell Foundation.
