how did you get the idea that Orleans Technical Institute is a division or subsidiary of Orleans Homebuilders? ____________________________________________________________________________ __ I did not, Elliot. Though I may be mistaken, I thought it was the Orleans family's philanthropy that made the school possible. The school is set in the Far Northeast where Orleans builders got its start, and Jeffrey P. Orleans, of Orleans Builders, is a member of the Board of JEVS. Of course there could be some other reasons JEVS named the school "Orleans". The post was a possible warning that such programming targeting the salt of the earth may not be available in the future. If I recall correctly, at one time and they may still be the largest court reporting training program in the city, but my background was in real estate not the Courts, thus the nature of my post. If you check the archives, I have posted about the school admitting students in the past, as a service to those who may be in need of job training in the allied building trades. Regardless, what has happened to Orleans Builders, a third generation Philly company is a shame. But what can you expect when we as a nation elect to terribly mediocre POTUS back to back.
