Transition to Louisiana Community & Technical College System

The Louisiana Community and Technical College System (LCTCS) was created in 1999 to bring together into one governance body almost all of the state's community and technical colleges. The LCTCS was created by Act 151 of the 1998 First Extraordinary Session. [1] Management of the LTC was transferred from BESE to the LCTCS Board of Supervisors in 1999.

2008 shooting

On the morning of February 8, 2008, Latina Williams, a 23-year-old nursing student, opened fire six rounds with a .357 revolver in a second-floor classroom at the Baton Rouge campus of LTC before turning the gun on herself and committing suicide. The two victims were Karsheika Graves (21) and Taneshia Butler (26), who were both fatally shot. [2] [3] [4]

2006 Dissolution of the LTC

Act 506 [5] of the 2005 Louisiana Regular Session required that the LTC be reorganized with March 2006 deadline for implementation. Changes to the LTC were approved at the March 7, 2006 LCTCS Board of Supervisors Meeting. [6] On July 1, 2006, the Louisiana Technical College ceased to exist as a single entity. The campuses of the LTC were realigned into new colleges. These included Arcadiana Technical College, Capital Area Technical College, Central Louisiana Technical College, Northshore Technical College, Northeast Louisiana Technical College, Northwest Louisiana Technical College, and South Central Louisiana Technical College. The new colleges operated under the LTC name until 2012.
