45. The North Carolina Community College System Also in 1979 the general Assembly created a Community College Planning north carolina s community colleges offer a variety of programs including http://statelibrary.dcr.state.nc.us/NC/EDUCATED/commcoll.htm

The North Carolina Community College System The North Carolina Community College System is the third largest in the nation. Each year the system's 59 institutions enroll more than three-quarters of a million students on campuses that are within 30 miles of 100 percent of the state's population. The system's mission from its beginning has been to provide opportunities for the citizens of North Carolina to further their education and to obtain training in order to successfully compete in an expanding job market. The North Carolina Community College System is the primary agency for providing job training and both literacy and adult education. The Beginnings Industrial Education Centers Department of Community ... Community Colleges The Beginnings In 1952 Dr. Allan S. Hurlburt conducted a study concerning the need for community colleges in North Carolina but it was not until 1957, during the administration of Governor Luther H. Hodges, that the Community College Act was passed. The legislation authorized the establishment of community colleges and placed the general administration of the colleges under what was known then as the State Board of Higher Education (now the Board of Governors of the University of North Carolina). By 1961 five community junior colleges had been established under the jurisdiction of local boards of trustees and the State Board of Higher Education. These first five community colleges were College of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City, Wilmington College in Wilmington, Mecklenburg College and Charlotte College in Charlotte, and Asheville-Biltmore College in Asheville. In 1963 Gaston College in Dallas became the sixth community college approved under the 1957 act.

TRIPLE the power of this website tell two friends about it today!! News FAQs DPI Hall of Shame Article Archive ... Boston College Conference Oct 2002: "How to Keep High-stakes Testing from Making People Mentally Ill." HERE WE GO AGAIN!!! NOSEDIVE!! "In 2002, 46.8 percent of fourth graders scored at grade level or above as compared to 68.8 percent in 2001 and 57.6 percent in 2000. A total of 62.9 percent of seventh graders scored at 2.5 or better. This compares to 73.3 percent in 2001 and 71.9 percent in 2000. Questions for the DPI, the State Board of Education, Phil Kirk, Mike Ward, Governor Easley, and members of the General Assembly: (1) What follow-up has there been from the audit panel report issued last December? (2) Were any lessons really learned from last year's math test fiasco? (3) How much longer will NC's children be guinea pigs in the DPI's ill-run testing lab? And most importantly...... (4) Given last year's and this year's massive failures, how can North Carolina parents, teachers, administrators, and students have any faith in any of DPI's tests? It appears that the ONLY gauge of quality of the tests are "reasonable" pass/fail rates. In Lou Fabrizio's words of last spring, we can assume that the "right" numbers are 85% pass, 15% fail. How can we ensure that "no child is left behind" and that no child is unfairly categorized as being "behind" with such shoddy instruments? If the testocrat agenda is to rule the day, when, at the very least, will they use legitimate tests?

HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA In North Carolina, all the public educational institutions that grant baccalaureate degrees are part of the University of North Carolina. The University of North Carolina at Wilmington is one of the 16 constituent institutions of the multi-campus state university. The University of North Carolina, chartered by the N.C. General Assembly in 1789, was the first public university in the United States to open its doors and the only one to graduate students in the eighteenth century. The first class was admitted in Chapel Hill in 1795. For the next 136 years, the only campus of the University of North Carolina was at Chapel Hill. In 1877, the N.C. General Assembly began sponsoring additional institutions of higher education, diverse in origin and purpose. Five were historically black institutions, and another was founded to educate American Indians. Several were created to prepare teachers for the public schools. Others had a technological emphasis. One is a training school for performing artists. In 1931, the N.C. General Assembly redefined the University of North Carolina to include three state-supported institutions: the campus at Chapel Hill (now the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), North Carolina State College (now North Carolina State University at Raleigh), and Woman's College (now the University of North Carolina at Greensboro). The new multi-campus university operated with one board of trustees and one president. By 1969, three additional campuses had joined the university through legislative action: the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.

Over 20,000 citizens of North Carolina have signed our petition asking the General Assembly to require school systems in our state to begin classes after Labor Day. Through the efforts of thousands of parents, teachers and concerned citizens across the state, House Bill 1464 was passed and signed into law during the 2004 session of the General Assembly. The school calendar law requires schools to begin classes no earlier than August 25th and end by June 10th, reduces the number of teacher workdays from 20 to 15, and includes waiver provisions for school districts with historically high days closed due to severe weather and individual schools serving special populations of students.
