Coastal Bend College (CBC) in Alice could be saying goodbye after 30 years of service in the area if the Texas Legislature approves the move this session.
The Alice City Council approved and signed a resolution in June to approve having Del Mar College replace Coastal Bend College to provide better education opportunities for area students. The Jim Wells County Commissioners Court signed a similar resolution in October for the county.
A conversation about Coastal Bend College needing to provide better education opportunities for Alice students started in December 2019, according to Alice Mayor Jolene Vanover.
Vanover said the college hasn t met expectations for several years to give students chances at better-paying jobs and to help the city s efforts to improve inequality and area poverty.
