The RTC will honor any commitments to on-going programs. The RTC feels, however, that a list of priorities should be developed and distributed to all users. Those priorities are as follows:

1. A balance of graduate, undergraduate, k-12, and continuing education will be developed and maintained.

2. Long-term courses will be considered before short-term or one-time sessions.

3. A commitment to existing degree and K-12 programming will be maintained.

4. A commitment to educational value over convenience.

5. Finally, demonstrated interest or need for specific programming.

It is the intention of the Area 3 RTC to provide what it considers the best, most-wanted, educational opportunities to the area.

The previous priority statements should be considered a working document that will be reviewed and/or revised as needed.
