Corkins promotes competition in state education policy
Corkins told about 50 superintendents that competition can boost efficiency and reduce wasteful practices. As state public school administrator, he faces criticism for lacking prior local superintendent experience and for stances on vouchers and funding. He envisions charter schools with local approval and easier student transfers, plus tax credits for new schools, aimed at helping poor and minority students. He also notes general market pressures and stresses research rather than listing specifics.

Trustees Report: GCCC students fare better after transfer
Front Door Project construction from architect Stewart Nelson of Gibson Mancini Carmichael and Nelson, and Project Construction Manager Gary Dick of Dick Construction. Nelson said he and GCCC President Carol Ballantyne found ways to make minor changes and cut about $100000 from the project cost. Increased structural steel prices initially pushed the cost about $80000 above the $3.12 million budget. The building’s concrete foundation is 80 percent complete and the basement floor is 60 percent finished.
