This allows minority interests groups to assert greater control, such as teachers.<BR/><BR/>That said, I think this isn't the solution. Why not just make technical colleges an appendage of the counties they reside? Move subsidization directly to students so that under proper management, the tech colleges wouldn't be a net cost to the counties.M.Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17019301238333072406noreply@blogger.com
