Henderson St., SAU want to switch bonds to cover nursing program costs

Two schools in the area, Henderson State and SAU, have asked the state's Higher Education Coordinating Board to shift money set aside by a statewide bond issue for funding nursing school buildings. Both schools will be before the higher education board Wednesday to discuss their requests. If the higher education commission approves the shifts, the schools would need to show the Legislative Council it had the money on hand to cover the bond. After that, officials could go out to bid on their projects. Here's the Associated Press story.
