The board will also hear statements of need for applied bachelor's degrees at Clark College for early childhood education: infant and toddlers and Clover Park Technical College in Lakewood for interior design.

Prior to its regular business meeting, the board will hold a study session Wednesday, Feb. 7 on developing the college system's 2019-21 operating budget. This will ultimately serve as the system's request to the Legislature for the 2019-21 biennial budget allocation.
