does anyone know why the FDDC is not supporting this bill? our adults need educational options beyond high school and this could be a viable one for at least some of our kids.

How do you know they are not supporting this bill? I haven't seen much on this, except what I've read below. Sounds like this college could be a good idea for our kids once they exit the school system. If anyone has more info on this, please share.

Thanks.
