Merits Of State Or Privately Owned Vocational School
Legislation before the Texas House appropriations committee could spur industrial growth and education across the South Plains, but Lubbock businessmen fear harm to private schools. The measure would fund a TVO campus extension of South Plains College in Haskell, drawing opposition from MAPS members who argue private campuses would face competition. Supporters say the new campus would attract more students to private institutes, boosting regional development. Lorenzo High School seniors and counselors highlight the looming choice for 18 year olds seeking training or work as HB 225 advances.
