State Board reverses on vo tech moratorium plan in Kansas
The Kansas State Board of Education reversed a Tuesday decision to impose a one year moratorium on area vocational schools after staff advised it lacked authority. The board will not urge the Legislature to restrict vocations, and will pursue a long range plan with satellite facilities. It also backed a shift to a 20 hour graduation requirement for the class of 1988, amid concerns over teacher shortages, with potential future increases to 22 units.
