ti <br /> it <br /> AGENDA ITEM n 13 <br /> GED/ABE CLASSES <br /> At the last Board meeting, you asked the Manager to acquire additional <br /> information concerning space and financing GED/ABE services. <br /> CETA will have sufficient funds to continue paying rent on the classroom <br /> facility presently used for this course. Prospects of CETA funding after <br /> June 30 are not good. CETA funds were found within the Balance of State <br /> and the Division of Community Colleges to carry on this activity. Stewart <br /> Rogers can provide more detail about this funding if you are interested. <br /> The principal difficulty with CETA funding after July Ist lies not in the <br /> ability to pay rent on the classroom space, but rather in the ability of <br /> the CETA program to fund allowances to students. CETA participants <br /> apparently cannot be permitted to attend classes unless they are paid <br /> an allowance for this activity. Funds sufficient to do this will probably <br /> not be available. <br /> As far as the mobile classroom units are concerned, it will cost a <br /> minimum of $2,000 to relocate a unit, exclusive of land rent. It does <br /> not appear practical to move these units. If they could be used where they <br /> are, renovation would not be too difficult or expensive. Neither the schools <br /> -or the GED/ABE staff seem to desire the present location however. Further, <br /> at the moment, no classroom space is available within the school system <br /> around Hillsborough to accomodate this program (other than these mobile units). <br /> Dan Lunsford advises me it is too early to predict the availability of <br /> classroom space for the coming school year. <br /> r <br /> rr ` <br /> f¢t <br /> p� <br /> kC <br />
