02/21/2025Today marks the first major milestone of the 2025 session. It's policy committee cutoff, which means bills need to be voted out of policy committees — like House Postsecondary Education and Workforce and Senate Higher Education and Workforce Development — to continue in the legislative process. For the community and technical college system this week, bills on adding a student member to the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges and to college boards of trustees, modifying accreditation standards, supporting high school students who are chronically absent or at risk of not graduating, marketing online course offerings passed their policy committees.SBCTC Communicationscustomized training, college bound, cutoff, capital, student support, outreach, financial aid
