ELECTION ISSUE: Pittsburg HS Students to take LMC Courses?


For:     Pittsburg Voters

From:  Greg Enholm
Candidate for Contra Costa Community College District, Ward 5 
Including all or parts of Antioch, Bay Point, Bethel Island, Brentwood, Byron, Clyde, Discovery Bay, Knightsen, Oakley, and Pittsburg

 
It used to be that hundreds of Pittsburg High School students were allowed to attend Los Medanos College while also taking their regular high school classes.  
 
Because of budget reductions, only 164 Pitt students were allowed to take LMC courses in 2010 but now only 68 do.  Denying hundreds of Pitt students the opportunity of taking a college-level or career training course at LMC hurts their ability to prepare for college or start a career and is wrong.
 
Watch this video to see what can be done to allow far more Pitt students to take LMC courses so they can be prepared for college or a career.  Click on the following URL OR copy and paste the URL into your URL box:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfTJkwI4mbc
