Most such schools are supported with state funds and/or grants . This descriptive case study presents an early college program, now in its fourth year in a traditional high school, in which the families, high school and local community college shared the entire cost. Data from document analysis and interviews with administrators, parents, and students clarified the funding plan and participant reactions. Joint ownership increased parental engagement, student academic commitment, and administrator attention. The results suggest that learning to cope with the cost of college, which this program necessitated, is an important aspect of college readiness for both students and parents. The model of shared responsibility is contrasted with the “hold harmless” model of government/foundation support that relieves schools and families of the cost of early college programming. The findings and policy recommendations are applicable to LEA and SEA leaders, philanthropies, and scholars in educational financial policy.  \nKeywords: advanced placement programs; college readiness; dual enrollment; financial policy; learner engagement; Massachusetts; parent financial contribution; philanthropic foundations; private financial support; school support; state aid .  \nJournal website: [http://epaa.asu.edu/ojs/ ](http://epaa.asu.edu/ojs/  Manuscript)[ Manuscript](http://epaa.asu.edu/ojs/  Manuscript) received: 08/16/2012  \nFacebook: /EPAAA Revisions received: 12/01/2012  \nTwitter: @epaa_aape Accepted: 12/07/2012  \nEducation Policy Analysis Archives Vol. 21 No . 46 2  \nFinanciando escuelas secundarias que anticipan estudios superiores: compromisosinofensivos o compartidos  \nResumen: las escuelas secundarias que anticipan estudios superiores son un camino prometedor, pero caro para la preparación universitaria. La mayoría de estas escuelas son financiadas con fondos estatales y / o subvenciones. Este estudio de caso descriptivo presenta un programa de “Early College”, en su cuarto año en una escuela secundaria tradicional, en el que las familias, la escuela secundaria y la universidad de la comunidad local compartieron el costo total. El análisis de documentos y entrevistas con administradores, padres y estudiantes permitió entender el plan de financiación y las reacciones de los participantes. El financiamiento conjunto aumentó participación de los padres, el compromiso académico de los estudiantes, y la atención de los administradores. Los resultados sugieren que aprender a lidiar con el costo de la universidad, que este programa requiere, es un aspecto importante para la preparación de los estudiantes y padres de familia. El modelo de responsabilidad compartida es contrast ado con el modelode apoyo gubernamental/fundación que alivia las escuelas y las familias de los costes de la programación universitaria temprana. Las conclusiones y recomendaciones de política son aplicables a los líderes de la LEA y SEA, organizaciones filantrópicas y estudiosos de políticas de financiamiento de la educación.  \nPalabras clave: programas de colocación avanzada; preparación para la universidad, inscripción dual; política financiera.  \nEscolas secundárias que antecipam do ensino superior: compromissos inofensivos ou compartilhados  \nResumo: as escolas secundári","cbCaipFJAR4AUzvI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipFJAR4AUzvI","pdf",333678,22,"English","# Introduction\n## Funding model and shared responsibility\n## Findings and policy recommendations","[{\"question\":\"What is the central focus of the study on early college high schools?\",\"answer\":\"It examines how early college high schools are funded and compares shared-cost responsibility with a “hold harmless” support model.\"},{\"question\":\"Which funding partners share the costs in the described program?\",\"answer\":\"The families, the high school, and the local community college shared the entire cost of the early college program.\"},{\"question\":\"What outcomes are reported from the shared responsibility funding approach?\",\"answer\":\"The study reports increased parental engagement, stronger student academic commitment, and greater administrator attention to college readiness.\"}]","Funding Early College High School - Hold Harmless or Shared Commitment | PDF",1792093197,55]
