Description
Southern Virginia Higher Education Center. Replaces the superintendent of the Halifax County Public Schools as an ex officio member of the board of trustees of the Southern Virginia Higher Education Center with a superintendent of a public school division located in the Southside region appointed by the Governor. The bill also broadens the eligibility requirements to serve as one of the representatives of business and industry on the board of trustees. The bill also requires the board to seek to collaborate with local comprehensive community colleges to meet specialized noncredit workforce training needs identified by industry. However if the local comprehensive community college is unable to meet such needs, then the board is authorized to seek to collaborate with other educational providers or offer Center-delivered specialized noncredit workforce training.
