THE BATTALION
Vocational Education To Need $15 Million For 197(1
A Texas Education Agency of
ficial told educators gathered
here recently that $15 million will
be requested from Texas legis
lators for fiscal year 1970 to help
support vocational education in
Texas schools.
J. W. Haynie pointed out
“thinking behind this proposal is
that the state should assume a
larger share of the responsibility.”
Haynie, assistant director of vo
cational programs development
for the Texas Education Agency,
substituted for Dr. Bevington K.
Reed, commissioner for higher
education in Texas.
Reed was the second keynoter
who did not appear for the open
ing session Monday of the 25th
Junior College Conference. Sched
uled but not appearing was Dr.
Grant Venn, U. S. associate com
missioner of education. A substi
tute, Dr. A1 Reindeau, also wired
“apologies” for not appearing.
His plane was delayed in San
Francisco due to inclement weath-
Dr. L. D. Haskew, professor of
Junior College Education at the
University of Texas, pinch-hit
for Reed.
Theme for the two-day meeting
is “The Challenge of Technician
Training.” Conference chairman
is Dr. C. H. Ransdell, assistant
dean of A&M’s College of Engi
neering.
Haynie reported the $15 million
figure exceeds 1969 requests by
$10 million, and added $18 million
will be requested for fiscal year
1971.
The increased amount, noted
Haynie, is the result of a study
by the Junior College Advisory
Committee to determine a “new
student-contact hour cost,” in vo
cational education.
“In other words,” said Haynie,
“it is the cost per hour of the
student and teacher in class.
He noted it was determined
$1.25 is required to train a stu
dent in technical education, while
the rate is $1 per hour for weld
ers and mechanics, and 85 cents
for technical agricultural persons.
Haynie added that under the
proposed formula, all state money
received would go “to operating
the programs.”
Federal and state funds were
previously “lumped together,” he
added. The proposal provides for
federal funds to be used for “con
struction of area vocational
schools and initial equipment.”
He disclosed that “this concept
of funding has been endorsed”
by the joint board of the Gover
nor’s Legislative Office, Legisla
tive Budget Board and State Vo
cational Advisory Committee.
The State Board of Education
was reportedly scheduled to -en
dorse the student-contact hour
concept today.
“Our present system of funding
is totally inadequate,” he added.
He reported there are “students
throughout the state ready to re
ceive training, but neither local
districts nor our agency
money to fund them,”
