Issue Position: Norton to Ask $10 Million in President's Budget for New D.C. Community College

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Higher Education Government Budget and Spending

Norton will ask President Obama to put $10 million in his upcoming budget for the new Community College of the District of Columbia (CCDC). Norton has championed the CCDC as the only practical way to prepare the significant number of D.C. residents who are unable to find decent jobs in this region, because of a lack of access to workforce-specific training for jobs. She got the House appropriators to put $10 million in this year's D.C. appropriation for the CCDC, but Congress passed a continuing resolution instead of regular appropriations bills this year.
