on  a space available basis, with consideration given to occupations and
industries in demand, and establish reduced adult tuition rates for such

rates for participation of adults provided that participation is limited
to  assigned instructional staff and currently used facilities in sched-
uled secondary career education programs, and provided further that such
rates may not be less than fifty percent of the tuition rates charged to
school districts for the participation of secondary students in the same
programs, unless waived by the commissioner based on application of  the
board  of cooperative educational services. This participation of adults
