Expanding the use of skill centers.

          AN ACT Relating to skill centers; and adding a new chapter to Title 28C RCW.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:

NEW SECTION. Sec. 1.  As retraining becomes a common part of adult work life, it is important that all vocational education opportunities be used to the maximum extent possible.  Skill centers established to provide vocational training for high school students are used during the morning and early afternoon.  These facilities are idle during the late afternoon and evening hours.  At the same time, community colleges have more students applying than they can accommodate.  To assure that we meet the needs of our citizens in seeking training or retraining, all vocational training facilities should be used to the maximum extent possible.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 2.  Skill centers, to the extent funds are available, are encouraged to operate afternoon and evening programs.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 3.  The community colleges are encouraged to contract with skill centers to use the skill center facilities.  The community colleges shall not be required to count the enrollments under these agreements toward the community college enrollment lid.  Skill centers may charge fees to adult students under RCW 28A.225.220.

NEW SECTION. Sec. 4.  Sections 1 through 3 of this act shall constitute a new chapter in Title 28C RCW.
