Changes to the System
The technical college system in Louisiana is slowly being eliminated by the present board and administration it serves under due to lack of interest and promotion of the system and a lack of understanding of its mission. The technical college system provides the skilled workforce needed to keep and attract businesses and industry to our state.
If the legislature does not enact legislation this session to make needed changes in the governing of this system, it will cease to exist. Please encourage your legislators to vote "yes" to the following bills:
all bills are Louisiana HB/SB #_____.
HB 386 Limits continuing education tuition costs
HB 495 Reduction in force - Bumping policy
HB 567 To eliminate theh requirement of Developmental Studies completion for completers
