Tallahassee Democrat: Enrollment overwhelming community colleges in Fla.
The worst recession since the Great Depression is sending the unemployed streaming back to school, and Florida’s community colleges are at the breaking point, officials told the state board of education Monday.
The system grew by 41,000 students between 2007 and 2008, at a time when the Legislature slashed budgets by $38 million. This year, the system expects to absorb 66,566 students and another $42.5 million cut.
