(a) A. The Board is authorized and directed to prepare
and administer a plan providing standards and policies for the establishment,
development and administration of comprehensive community colleges under its
authority. It shall determine the need for comprehensive community colleges,
develop a statewide plan for their location and a time schedule for their
establishment. In the development of such plan, a principal objective shall be
to provide and maintain a system of comprehensive community colleges through
which appropriate educational opportunities and programs to accomplish the
purposes set forth in subdivision (a) of § 23-214 shall be made available
throughout the Commonwealth. In providing these offerings, the Board shall
recognize the need for excellence in all curricula and shall endeavor to
establish and maintain standards appropriate to the various purposes the
respective programs are designed to serve.
(b) B. The Board shall have the authority to control and
expend funds appropriated by law, and to fix tuition fees and charges. The
Board may exercise the powers conferred by Chapter 3 (§ 23-14 et seq.) of
this title as any other educational institution as defined in § 23-14.
(c) C. The Board shall be authorized, with the approval
of the Governor, to accept from any government or governmental department or
agency or any public or private body or from any other source, grants or
contributions of money or property which the Board may use for or in aid of any
of its purposes.
D. The Board shall establish in collaboration with the governing bodies of public institutions of higher education and the Board of Education, as the case may be, policies governing apprenticeship programs. The Chancellor, with the approval of the Board for the Virginia Community College System, shall provide for the administration and supervision of related and supplemental instruction for apprentices, coordination of instruction with job experiences, and selection and training of teachers and coordinators for such instruction.
