During the month of October, Shasta College has scheduled educational public forums to provide information and answer questions about Measure H, a $139 million College Job Training / Veteran Support general obligation bond measure.
The educational forums to be held in October are scheduled for the following days, times and locations:
- Saturday, October 15 at 10:00 AM – Location: Health Sciences and University Center (downtown Redding – 1400 Market Street), Rooms 8218 and 8220, 2nd Floor
- Tuesday, October 18 at 5:30 PM – Location: Shasta College Theatre (main campus)
Measure H, to be placed on the November general election ballot, will allow for increased job training through the building of a Regional Public Safety Training Facility for fire, law enforcement, and emergency medical personnel; create a new Veterans Support Center to assist current military personnel and Veterans; construct a new Career Technical Education facility to provide students with needed training in Advanced Manufacturing, Welding, Automotive/Diesel and Computer Science; and update the college’s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) labs. It will also provide for needed upgrades to the college’s 50-year old buildings at its main campus, and for improvements to technology infrastructure at all campus locations throughout its 10,000+ square mile district.
“In connecting with community members including students, teachers, Veterans, business owners, and public agencies, we have heard time and again that the strength of our region is directly related to the educational opportunities available in our community,” said Shasta College Superintendent/President Dr. Joe Wyse. “This bond will allow Shasta College to provide the facilities needed for the up-to-date education and training our students must have to obtain living wage jobs and transfer to four-year colleges and universities in their pursuit of higher education, particularly in the STEM fields.”
For further information, please contact Mr. Morris Rodrigue, Vice President of Administrative Services, at 530-242-7525.
