Separate Voc-Tech funding plan backed by Arkansas Board
LITTLE ROCK AP The Arkansas state Board of Education approved a plan to continue building post secondary vocational technical schools so that there will be a school within commuting distance for every student who wants to attend. The board defended itself against charges from the Vocational Technical Education Advisory Council that its recommendations were ignored and shifted emphasis from post secondary schools to public high schools. Jim Dupree of Weldon, appointed by Gov. Rockefeller, said the council was mistaken in claiming the board had not considered its recommendations and that it implied law violations.
