State Board of Community Colleges to meet in
Western North Carolina
Budget issues high on agenda
RALEIGH: Money matters will be high on the agenda when the State Board of Community Colleges holds its yearly retreat and monthly meeting in Western North Carolina this week.
The North Carolina Community College System has to do some drastic belt-tightening, to the tune of about $25 million for this fiscal year. In anticipation of budget cuts on the state level, the State Board Finance and Capital Needs Committee voted last week to suggest that each community college president hold back up to four percent of his or her overall fiscal year budget. This directive is especially difficult since most colleges are experiencing record enrollment this fall.
The State Board will hear that in spite of this cost-cutting directive, the presidents have also been told to protect the classroom. "We know that thousands of unemployed individuals have turned to our colleges for education and training," says NCCCS President H. Martin Lancaster. "We must do all we can to ensure that they will find the services they need."
The presidents have also been directed to protect Economic Development Funds, which include money for New Industry, Small Business Centers and Focused Industrial Training. These are the areas so critical to economic recovery for North Carolina and must be as fully responsive as possible.
The third area insulated from cuts is the salary increase for faculty and professional staff. "The salary growth approved by the General Assembly represents the first step toward a much-needed salary upgrade for our instructors and professional employees," says Lancaster. "We have to ensure that they receive every dollar of this appropriated increase."
The State Board retreat and monthly committee meetings take place at the Switzerland Inn in Little Switzerland, North Carolina. Mayland Community College in Spruce Pine hosts the State Board for its monthly meeting. The retreat begins at noon on October 17 and ends at 2:00 p.m. on October 18. The monthly State Board activities begin immediately after the retreat.
Both agendas are attached.
