Marathon plan tabled for new New cosmetology program
Western Nebraska Technical College in Sidney won unanimous approval for a new cosmetology program with up to three students in the first year. A proposal to buy the Marathon Oil building to house this and other programs was tabled to May 4. The plan involves moving several programs to Sidney, renovating facilities, and reshuffling arms of the campus while facing roof and funding questions and the possible impact of LB 344 capital levy rules.

About 50 people crowded the Western Nebraska Technical Community College Board room in Scottsbluff as the board met past midnight to audit the area budget and consider dissolving the current structure.
