|
| STANDARD 6 | Instructional Facilities |
The team recommends that the facility be painted to enhance the professional appearance of the instructional area, thereby increasing the image and positive impact on the students. This would also increase the effectiveness of the current lighting system. It is recommended that plans for expansion of outside storage and welding stations be carried through. The instructor could visit Caddo-Kiowa Technology Center to view the school's outside welding stations.
