  4. All Vocational schools are Federal and State money . All the salaries are funded by state and federal, no local money. The only thing county is on hook for is the upkeep and utilities. Would be crazy to close it. The school should be generating money through their programs. Greenhouses, carpentry all are big money makers!

  5. I work in the welding industry as a quality manager and know for a fact that nation wide there is a shortage of hands on workers. In our computer technical world, our young people are not being taught to work hands on, except with their hands on a computer or smart phone. In the SWVA area, we are experiencing shortages on qualified welders and metal fabricators, also general laborers, equipment operators, carpenters, electricians, and so on. Closing the Vo-Tech would be a mistake in my opinion and the work force would suffer for it, causing the hands on laborers that are here to migrate to other areas for employment. Everyone in our area cannot work in the service industry, someone has to supply the need for the service, and usually in an industrial country, that is the hard working hands on people. In my opinion The Board of Trustees need to concern themselves with acquiring more industry into the county.
