HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After addressing several matters of routine business at its February meeting, the Hutchinson Community College Board of Trustees approved a resolution supporting an application to the United States Department of Agriculture for a Rural Business Development Grant for a Commercial Truck Driving Simulator Project.
The project includes the purchase of a commercial truck driving simulator for the college's commercial driver’s license (CDL) training program, off-site training in operation of the simulator and onsite training to support operation and maintenance of the simulator.
In addition, the board approved two new positions – a correctional education coordinator to work with potential corrections students wishing to take advantage of the United States Department of Education’s Second Chance Pell opportunity and a psychology instructor for outreach.
The next meeting of the board will be on Thursday, March 11, at 7 p.m. in the Shears Technology Center Justice Theater. The public is invited to attend.
