District 26 State Rep. Otha Williams has gone on record opposed to proposed House Bill 1284 that would require the consolidation of the Coahoma Community College district into the Mississippi Delta Community College district.
The bill is proposing CCC would operate as the “Coahoma campus” of Mississippi Delta Community College and with the central administrative offices to be located in Clarksdale.
Williams has worked for CCC for 26 years and is the Work Based Learning Coordinator/Instructor for Staff, Career and Technical Education.
“It has not gone through the proper channels yet,” said Williams of House Bill 1284. “It has been produced. I am definitely not in favor of it. I am not in favor of any consolidation. I will not be in favor of it in any form, especially as written. This is not the first time that this idea has been brought to the forefront.”
House Bill 1284 is also proposing requiring the consolidation of the Southwest Mississippi Community College district into the Copiah-Lincoln Community College district, with the SMCC campus to operate as the “Summit campus” of Copiah-Lincoln Community College and with the administrative offices to be located in Wesson.
House Bill 1284 is proposing to require the consolidation of the Meridian Community College district into the East Mississippi Community College district, with Meridian operating as the “Meridian campus” of East Mississippi Community College and with the central administrative offices to be located in Scooba.
