Today the White House announced an important initiative to bolster our two-year, community colleges. The Denver Post weighs in on this important effort.

Community colleges are often the only option for economically-disadvantaged students, and provide many with a vital stepping stone to a four year institution. Sadly, these schools are usually the first on the chopping block when funds are low, thus further reducing opportunities to the kids that need options the most.

A healthy community college system is critical to helping low-income students stay on a path of success.
