I don't have a problem with the cost, necessarily. I understand it goes into the general fund. I said a while back that the reduction in class time would, in turn, cause the price for class to drop. I tried to keep my class cost at the same level, but it didn't fare well. So I dropped my class price a bit. I also said that the drop in revenue for instructors would separate the hobbyists from the big guys. The cost for 'train the teacher' class will once again separate out the instructors who are serious about making a business/income from instruction. The fee is just the cost of doing business, and I am waiting patiently to be able to apply for this program.

Bill - I think you are thinking of Senate Bill 1857 that was the School Safety Certification. This is being run by DPS. It is the train the teacher bill. Sherrie's basic response to me was that DPS really didn't want input from CHL instructors because the instructors would be the ones being regulated/certified. It's been 6 months since I spoke with her on this subject, but I haven't heard anything recently, either.
