6. LAO Questions Regarding CC Lab Schools
How have your programs changed in recent years regarding access to learning in the lab school?
Have you experienced changes in your programs for children enrolled in the lab schools in terms of the numbers of children served, age of children served?
Have you seen changes in demand for certain courses or programs for either adult students or children in the lab school?
Do your colleges have a role in providing training to employees of local child care centers or family child care homes?
Common theme/thread in answers: Every program is at the mercy of the administration… We must consistently justify the need for college funding

Student record needs to be available
Could be with them… ---Students can scan/take picture of their immunization record but when it doubt they must provide the real hard copy.
