FSB Supports Collaboration
When Rochester School Extended Learning Opportunity Coordinator Dean Graziano suggested a Rochester Schools/
Great Bay Community College ACM collaboration over a year ago as an educational program jointly supported by both schools, he assembled a team that included representatives of state agencies, nonprofit work-advocacy agencies, high school and community college educators, and local manufacturers.
As the program began to take shape, funding became a major area of focus. Applying for grants, the program was still short the needed expense per-student. Within a day,
Federal Savings Bank notified Graziano of their commitment of $6,000 towards the program.
