"Say Yes to Education Guilford may soon have to start saying "no" to some students who were expecting to qualify for funding for the program that helps pay college tuition costs for students graduating from Guilford County Schools.
That's because the first-year cost of the Say Yes Guilford program has turned out to be much higher than estimated - and that giant shortfall has Say Yes Guilford administrators scrambling to find ways to keep the program functioning in the same manner as promised when it gained backing from the community partners who have bought into Say Yes over the past two years.
Say Yes is a program that provides high school graduates with the "last dollars" needed to reach the total required payment for college tuition. In cases where students have grants or scholarships, the Say Yes money makes up any shortfall; and in cases where students have no money or scholarships available to them, Say Yes pays the entire tuition at a participating school.
...The Say Yes model calls for the program to provide those last dollars to students who enroll at participating colleges - regardless of a family's income or financial status. The program has done that so far for students who entered college in the fall semester of 2016 and spring semester of 2017. However, it has become clear that doing so is costing much more than was estimated, and now, behind the scenes, Say Yes Guilford is reevaluating its model and putting all options on the table.
Changes to the program could include means-testing applicants, increasing the length of time a student must be in Guilford County schools before qualifying, paying a percentage of the last dollars rather than 100 percent of those costs or limiting access to the program in other ways to bring down the quickly mounting costs.
The giant shortfall in the first year of the program has created a major sense of urgency among Say Yes Guilford officials.
The same Guilford County high school graduates who entered school this year will presumably need that same last-dollar funding for the next three years and there will be more students entering the program this fall as new high school graduates take advantage of the program.
One big problem with changing the model is that county businesses and community partners have donated millions based on the current model, and the Guilford County Board of Education, the Guilford County Board of Commissioners, the Greensboro City Council and others have agreed to participate based on the model in which all students have access to the program.
Any changes in the program have major implications. Some families have moved to Guilford County based on the promise of Say Yes funding for college while others have held off moves until their children have graduated from high school. Some upcoming graduates are making decisions about where they will attend school in the fall based on the promise of Say Yes Guilford funding.
...Say Yes Guilford recently announced that Mary Vigue, the group's executive director, had stepped down and no reason was given for the move. Also, at a recent Guilford County school board meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 28, school board members pressed Say Yes Guilford for more complete information about the number of students currently being served by the program.
Say Yes Communications and Marketing Director Donnie Turlington did not shed any light on Vigue's departure, but he said that Say Yes Guilford plans to offer more complete data to the school board and others by the end of March.
"We're still crunching and tabulating the numbers," Turlington said of students served and the amount of money paid so far.
...According to Turlington, Say Yes Guilford has raised $42 million in pledges and commitments and so far it has helped pay the tuition of over 2,000 students.
...Chairman of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners Jeff Philips said he was surprised recently by the news that Vigue would no longer be director.
"There is some caution - obviously there's concerns when you hear the Say Yes director depart in that way," Phillips said. "Most of us don't know why that took place."
Phillips said that he's maintaining "cautious optimism as we move into the future" with regard to the program..."

That's because the first-year cost of the Say Yes Guilford program has turned out to be much higher than estimated - and that giant shortfall has Say Yes Guilford administrators scrambling to find ways to keep the program functioning in the same manner as promised when it gained backing from the community partners who have bought into Say Yes over the past two years.
But they still won't say how much higher,
what they paid out, and how much money they actually have
Say Yes is a program that provides high school graduates with the "last dollars" needed to reach the total required payment for college tuition. In cases where students have grants or scholarships, the Say Yes money makes up any shortfall; and in cases where students have no money or scholarships available to them, Say Yes pays the entire tuition at a participating school.
...The Say Yes model calls for the program to provide those last dollars to students who enroll at participating colleges - regardless of a family's income or financial status. The program has done that so far for students who entered college in the fall semester of 2016 and spring semester of 2017. However, it has become clear that doing so is costing much more than was estimated, and now, behind the scenes, Say Yes Guilford is reevaluating its model and putting all options on the table.
Say Yes misled the public and elected representatives
and now they are reneging on the bullshit about giving every kid money,
as it was a Ponzi from the start, but our 'leaders' bought it hook, line and sinker
Changes to the program could include means-testing applicants, increasing the length of time a student must be in Guilford County schools before qualifying, paying a percentage of the last dollars rather than 100 percent of those costs or limiting access to the program in other ways to bring down the quickly mounting costs.
Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan is directly responsible,
as she ushered in a sweet deal for former Greensboro employees,
giving Mary Vigue and Donnie Turlington free office space at the downtown library
The giant shortfall in the first year of the program has created a major sense of urgency among Say Yes Guilford officials.
They lied through their teeth
The same Guilford County high school graduates who entered school this year will presumably need that same last-dollar funding for the next three years and there will be more students entering the program this fall as new high school graduates take advantage of the program.
Thanks for the shout out Scott

Also, at a recent Guilford County school board meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 28, school board members pressed Say Yes Guilford for more complete information about the number of students currently being served by the program.
Mary Vigue represented the City of Greensboro on the committee
to find a Say Yes Guilford director,
and pulled a Dick Cheney with permission from City executives and City Council,
and took the job for herself, and no one reported it except for EZGreensboro
Say Yes Communications and Marketing Director Donnie Turlington did not shed any light on Vigue's departure, but he said that Say Yes Guilford plans to offer more complete data to the school board and others by the end of March.
Which they promised by the end of January in 2016
"We're still crunching and tabulating the numbers," Turlington said of students served and the amount of money paid so far.
Bullshit
...According to Turlington, Say Yes Guilford has raised $42 million in pledges and commitments and so far it has helped pay the tuition of over 2,000 students.
In late 2016, Turlington and Skip Moore said Say Yes Guilford
has no more than a little over $10 million in hand,
so the Rhino's Scott Yost got played on it, or he's waiting for another story
as this thing's got legs
...Chairman of the Guilford County Board of Commissioners Jeff Philips said he was surprised recently by the news that Vigue would no longer be director.
"There is some caution - obviously there's concerns when you hear the Say Yes director depart in that way," Phillips said. "Most of us don't know why that took place."
Phillips said that he's maintaining "cautious optimism as we move into the future" with regard to the program..."
