PUBLIC HEARINGS ON COMMUNITY COLLEGES SCHEDULED

RALEIGH: The public is invited to participate in a series of regional public hearings on the organization of the North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS).

A consultant hired by the Education Oversight Committee of the General Assembly and the State Board of Community Colleges will host a series of focus groups/public hearings that will give individuals the opportunity to share their opinion of their community college system.

The hearings are a part of a study mandated in Senate Bill 1115, which calls for a review of the structure, administrative formula, and multi-campus and center funding in the NCCCS. The lawmakers want to determine if any type of consolidation of community colleges would save funds. The hearings will provide an opportunity for input from key stakeholders to determine issues of concern.

In addition to public comment, valuable information will be shared at the hearing. A representative from Legislative Fiscal Research will provide a thorough explanation of the legislative mandate that calls for the study. The consultant from MGT of America, Inc. will provide a review of comparative analyses of administrative costs. Representatives from the System Office will give an overview of the organization of the NCCCS.

Interested individuals are encouraged to attend the closest regional hearing to share thoughts on their community college. The hearings are listed below.
