State Board of Community Colleges to hold August meeting
Technology grants for community colleges on the agenda
RALEIGH: The State Board of Community Colleges meets on Friday, August 16 at 9:00 a.m. in the Caswell Building.
The Board will get a first look at new Technology Enhancement Grants that will provide thousands of dollars to several community colleges. The money will be used to continue or improve distance learning opportunities.
In February of this year U.S. Representative David Price (D-NC) presented a $250,000 technology grant to the North Carolina Community College System. Price is a member of the House Appropriations Committee and he successfully included the funding in the House Fiscal Year 2002 Labor/Health and Human Services/Education Appropriations Bill.
"This funding will have a direct impact on our community colleges’ access to cutting-edge technology," said Price during the news conference announcing the grant.
The System will use this first-time funding to enhance the Virtual Learning Community, a database of Internet-based courses for use by all of North Carolina’s community colleges. Money will also provide grants totaling $138,308 for 17 community colleges to provide a variety of distance learning technology enhancement efforts.
"This funding comes at a critical time for our colleges," says System President H. Martin Lancaster. "This money will help provide technical training, purchase equipment, or enhance services already provided. These are items that might not be possible without this support. We appreciate the efforts of Congressman Price."
