text: Merge the K12 niteschool with the non-credit UH programs. Not only are they somewhat redundant but they are failing in their mission of remedial education of adults. 
  
  Many community college students spend two years and a lot of money doing remedial work before they can actually take college courses. Make it free and allow then to take free courses for credit if they can pass the placement exam for the course. 
  
  Colleges do that now for high school students. Why not for their own students who are taking remedial courses? Community "School" and not Community College where students can get a GED, an Associate of Arts, vocational training certification, and non-credit classes for seniors and the business community.
