Holy crap. As announced earlier this evening, every single graduate of Kalamazoo Public Schools who has been a student for four years or more (i.e., went to a KPS high school for four years and graduated) will be provided a college scholarship to any public institution of higher learning in Michigan.
This is just HUGE.
Update: Check out The Kalamazoo Promise @ KPS.
Update2: The Detroit Free Press now has a story, and apparently this made the “Today” show on NBC this morning.
