 Agency Responsibility: The Technical College System Board is the coordinating
agency for
 the state Technical College System. The board establishes statewide policies
and standards for
 the educational programs and services provided by the 16 technical college
districts that cover
 the state. The district boards, in turn, are responsible for the direct
operation of their respective
 schools and programs. They are empowered to levy property taxes, provide
for facilities and
 equipment, employ staff and contract for services. The districts set academic
and grading stan-
 dards, appoint the district directors, hire instructional and other staff,
and manage the district
 budget.
 The system board supervises district operations through reporting and audit
requirements and
 consultation, coordination and support services. It sets standards for building
new schools and
 adding to current facilities. It also provides assistance to districts in
meeting the needs of target
 groups, including services for the disadvantaged, the disabled, women, dislocated
workers, the
incarcerated and minorities.
