serve an area in great need of occupational preparation.  It is the
further intent of the Legislature, by this article, to improve the
employment opportunities of persons residing in areas of need for the

serve the social and economic needs of that area. The program
provided will also serve to upgrade the cultural and intellectual
life, as well as the economic life, of the area to be served.

reflect the increase. The revenue limit applicable to the county
superintendent of schools shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
