Vine notes CUNY's CPL policy passed in 2020 and implementation work is ongoing. She says Res 418 asks CUNY to award credit for the Seal of Civic Readiness when there is alignment with college-level learning.

Since CUNY's CPL policy was passed by the Board of Trustees in 2020,

Implementation work has been ongoing, including and especially work to identify opportunities with system-wide potential to recruit and support populations of New Yorkers with high-demand skills and knowledge.

My testimony addresses how CUNY could respond to the call in proposed resolution 418

for college credit to be awarded to New York City public school students who earn the New York State Seal of Civic Readiness when there is alignment with college-level learning.

CUNY sees potential in particular routes to the SEAL, especially the high school capstone project.

Determining whether the SEAL is eligible for college credit will require further faculty review and collaboration with New York City public schools.
