Dana Haynes Of the Print Two members of the Associated Student Govem- ment have been chosen to serve on Oregon educational committees, ASG President Sam Crosby announced yesterday. ASG Director Dick Ed wards and Senator Karen Pro uty will represent not only the College, but all thirteen com munity colleges of Oregon. Edwards has been elected to be the liaison between the Community Colleges of Oregon Association and Com missions (CCOSAC), and the Oregon Educational Coor dinating Commission (OECC). “Dick is an official member of OECC,” Crosby said, “He has a vote, and his input is im portant to the commission.” OECC operates out of the state capitol and is directly responsi ble to State Superintendent of Schools Verne Duncan. “We listen to the problems of all Oregon schools; from kindergarten to doctoral pro grams,” Edwards said, “and we try to come to some answers for everyone. Since we work directly with the state school board, we have a lot of say in the education in Oregon.” At the Oct. 2 OECC meeting, the members selected % ‘ three issues that will be given particular attention during the next two years: -Board and institutional long-range plans. -Funding priorities for all education, and -School finance The first goal, long-range planning, is aimed at creating a contingency plan for funding of schools and institutions in the event of financial disaster, such as a fire or teachers’ strike. The second, funding priorities, is a review of all budget systems from kindergarten to four year col leges. The end result will be a recommendation of a budgetary process that would make every school’s budget consistent with one another. The third objective is school finance. This is a major concern for the local district funding of all first and secon dary educational programs. Determining how block grants will be distributed will be the objective. “I’m very excited about this,” Edwards said, “My input for CCOSAC is important, and the community colleges are starting to have more push.” The second ASG member to be appointed to a state organization is Karen Prouty. Like Edwards, Prouty is a member of CCOSAC, and has been chosen to be that organization’s Oregon Student Education via TV offered By Rick Obritschkewitsch Of the Print Ten years ago Clackamas CC was the first community college in the state to offer a Telecourse.
