(Calaveras County) College response to grand jury: Not enough classes for a full lode

Stockton Record

Delta [College] trustees on Tuesday also formally approved their response to a Calaveras County grand jury report that recommended that county sever ties with Delta.
The grand jury had argued that while Calaveras residents were helping to pay for the bond, they had not received the promised benefits — including a new satellite campus in the foothills. The grand jury suggested Calaveras secede from the college district.
Delta's response defends the decision not to build, saying a new campus would not yet attract enough students to be cost-effective.
The college says it is attempting to provide opportunities for Calaveras students, and its response says it is not interested in changing district boundaries.
