Liberty Partnerships History
The Liberty Partnerships Program (LPP) was established in 1988 under Section 612, Subdivision 6 of the Education Law to address the significant dropout rate among New York's youth. The Liberty Partnerships Program is included in the New York State Education Department's Statewide Plan for Higher Education as part of its strategy to maximize the successful transition of middle and high school students who are at-risk of dropping out of school into graduates who are fully prepared for the rigors of higher education and the competitive demands of the workplace.
