The mission of the System has been defined in the North Carolina General Statutes (115D-1): ...the establishment, organization, and administration of a system of educational institutions throughout the state offering courses of instruction in one or more of the general areas of two-year college parallel, technical, vocational, and adult education programs ... The law further states that: ...The major purpose of each and every institution operating under the provisions of this Chapter shall be and shall continue to be the offering of vocational and technical education and training, and of basic, high school level, academic education needed in order to profit from vocational and technical education, for students who are high school graduates or who are beyond the compulsory age limit of the public school system and who have left the public schools. ... The statutory mission statement serves to keep the System focused on vocational and technical education.It also specifically mandates provision of basic academic education for adults through the high school level.These programsvocational and technical education, and basic academic education for adultshave priority status because of their specific place in the statutory mission statement. The mission directs the System to serve adults and other people who have left the public schools and are beyond compulsory school age.This definition provides the background for develop- ment of policies governing the institutions' relationship to the public schools. It is the statutory mission statement from which the "working mission statement" derives.It is the working mission statement which focuses the Community College System's resources by responding to contemporary societal issues.Legitimized by the State Board of Community Colleges, the working mission dynamically mobilizes our abilities to concentrate on current concerns. 9 NORTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FACT BOOK SECTION IPAGE 3 The Working Mission Statement The mission of the North Carolina Community College System is to open the door to high- quality, accessible educational
