Program Addresses National Challenge: Rural Students Attend College at Lower Rates Than Those in Cities, Suburbs
Vermont Business Magazine CFES Brilliant Pathways, a college and career-readiness nonprofit based in Essex, NY, has chosen 20 rural schools in northeastern New York and Vermont for its newly launched North Country Brilliant Pathways program. Seventy-two schools applied for the program, which was announced in April.
The initiative, which has a value of $1.5 million, will provide schools with a multi-faceted, comprehensive college readiness program that will put more of their students on a path to college.
Currently, a lower percentage of rural students attend college compared with their urban and suburban counterparts, and they drop out at far higher rates.

CANTON Murder charges against a Richville man have been dropped, according to St. Lawrence County District Attorney Gary Pasqua.
John Anson, 30, had been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in the May 4 death of Justin Massey, 40.
“At the time on Tuesday evening (May 4), we believed those charges were appropriate based on the information we had. Based on further investigation and a review of physical evidence, it became apparent those charges weren’t appropriate for Mr. Anson any longer,” Pasqua said.
He still faces a second-degree assault felony charge and is released under probationary supervision.
