(AP) — Gov. Phil Bryant is pushing a $3 million plan to pay for community college for students who earn a technical diploma in high school. The Republican says Mississippi needs to increase the number of skilled manufacturing workers to fill available jobs and encourage employers to relocate or expand in the state. [...] spokesman Knox Graham said the Bryant administration isn't sure yet whether it would require the graduates to take technical classes in community colleges, or allow them to pursue a traditional academic path as well. The Mississippi Economic Council last year launched a Tech Master award for high school students who take at least four career-tech classes and meet other requirements, including other classes, minimum test scores, 40 hours of community service and a good disciplinary record. The existing tuition payment programs kick in after a student seeks aid from the federal and state governments and their community college.
