Aren't these being developed in your area?? Our community colleges are 
pushing this for the HSs locally. Students can even take courses in HS that 
count for credit either at the local university or the community college. 
Someone is missing the boat in your state. As enrollment has dropped at the 
university-programs at the community college are bursting at the seams.
