Clarification on rules for in plant training;
Adjustment of standards for performance budgeting to delete surveys of non-completers, who are difficult to track and unlikely to respond when or if found;
Designation of a portion of the grant and loan fund for incentives for students in high-demand, low-enrollment fields such as carpentry, construction, machining, brick laying, etc.;
Adjustment of sample sizes for audits in order to better reflect valid statistical methods;
