How
will this help the local economy? |
Students who complete a career major in technology centers can
expect to earn significantly more than those with no education beyond high
school. This allows us to meet the demands of new businesses who are looking
to relocate in our area by providing a quality workforce. |
Will this increase enrollment? |
Absolutely! The goal is to increase our high school enrollment
by 30%. These students will be able to take advantage of our quality training
– TUITION FREE! It will also allow room for more adults to take advantage
of a variety of career majors. This will enable us to provide additional
training for our area companies that gladly pay a premium for our quality
training and services. |
Why
are there 2 propositions? |
The
majority of the funds will be in the form of a $8.5m bond issue that
will annually decrease until it expires in 6 years. There will
also be a separate ballot question for some operational millage that will
be needed to hire instructors and pay for supplies in the new programs.
Both propositions are necessary to make the proposed project a reality. |
How does SOTC compare in funding with other Tech Centers? |
SOTC is currently ranked 24th of the 29 Oklahoma Technology
Center districts in local support. Because of this, other monies are withheld
from our district from time to time. |
