Promises were made to hold transferable GE courses here in the foothills as well as possible coordination with Columbia College for courses that Calaveras was not set up to handle, such as College Chemistry.
Mention was also made of placing computers in the local libraries, Delta College computers, for those taking on line courses. Marti Crane, Supervisor candidate for District 5, questioned if they would also be forthcoming with funds to help keep the libraries open for use of said computers.
Delta College will be hiring Sherri Reusche to be the Liaison between Delta and Calaveras County.
A note from Supervisor Cliff Edson:
"Hi folks, looks like we are moving forward with Delta JC and our Post Secondary Education Program right here in Calaveras County. Delta College President Kathy Hart and Delta College Board-member Stephen Castellanos attended a press release that I called today at the San Andreas Branch Library. My goal was to get as many people to attend as I could, get all the press there, and announce the program that Delta College has agreed to offer. Also in attendance was Sherri Reusch, and John Garamendi Jr., both of whom went with me to all of the meetings we had with legislators, board members, and finally Dr. Kathy Hart.
