The group asked for parity with the public schools. They also asked the commissioners to
look at a supplement for the college staff.
Commissioner Boone asked about enrollment. Eason said the figures could not really be
compiled. He mentioned the college system used a F.T.E. formula. He said the literacy program
served over 2,000 per year; however, it was hard to gauge how many people were helped. This is
because some individuals might be reading at a sixth grade level and need extensive help. Then,
some are high school dropouts that might need just enough assistance to pass the G.E.D. Eason
said that overall the college had growth, but it was difficult to find a way to present the figures.
Dr. Eason said 18 students were enrolled in the Motor Sports Management Program. The
college is working with three other community colleges on this particular curriculum.
