Reply to: RE>us-nd-digest V4 #1 It is seen more and more that the implementation of the tech program is hindered by the cost that the Board of School Directors must budget for the following school years. The following committment to keeping the tech program up and in place is causeing many school board mambers to veto the initial allocation for funding. Again, the students are the ones who are not participating because there is that "bottom line" to be considered. Sylvia
