At Tuesday's regular City Council meeting a representative of the Ventura County Community College District announced a truly great new program. All Ventura County Community College students can ride for FREE ANYWHERE in Ventura County. Students can catch the bus for free for the 2018/19 school year. This service includes attendance in any college (Moorpark, Oxnard, or Ventura), study online, Associate and Transfer Degrees, Career Education and Dual Enrollment for high school students.

I think this is the first time the College District has offered such a generous program. This opens a huge variety of opportunities in business, child development, criminal justice, communication, English, health ed., mathematics, music, political science and sign language. This is a terrific chance to learn and move up. Hey, if I weren't such an old goat I would sign on myself! I could use a good dose of English. (I apologize for editorializing in a news space) but this is a great deal!
