State Legislature won’t fund Bitterroot Valley Community College

“These are the statutes and these are the laws of this state and we have followed everything by the letter,” Rogala said. “What does it say about the education system in general that they are not willing to welcome a new group to the table?”

In a 5-4 vote, the Montana Senate’s Education Committee has decided not to authorize a new community college in the Bitterroot Valley.

The committee’s action tabled SJ12, a resolution that would have legally established the Bitterroot Valley Community College without funding until 2011.

The vote effectively ends a three-year effort by advocates to establish a locally controlled two-year institution.
