YAVAPAI COMMUNITY COLLEGE SUMMER 2018 CLASS SCHEDULE SHOWS 99 CLASSES LISTED IN PRESCOTT, 17 ON THE VERDE CAMPUS AND ONE IN PRESCOTT VALLEY

College Administration appears to continue emphasizing and developing the west side of the County educational opportunities to the detriment of those outside the Prescott area

The disparity in development of post-secondary education between the west side of Yavapai County and the East side is obvious to the Blog when the summer 2018 college class schedule was  reviewed.  It listed summer classes that were scheduled as of April 4, 2018. It  listed 99 classes scheduled for the Prescott Campus on the west side of the County.  The same publication listed 17 classes to be offered on the Verde Valley Campus.  There was one class listed for Prescott Valley and no classes listed for Chino Valley.

The Blog is concerned that the 50 year focus of creating post-secondary educational opportunities for residents on the west side of Yavapai County to the detriment of the 70,000 residents living on the East side of the County continues despite enormous efforts by East County folks to convince board members to better distribute resources and opportunities.
