LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE, Thomas C. King, Jr., Chair
Mr. King reported on the following:
● The Presidents' Association is excited about a bond package assuming that the bond package will be sufficient to meet the needs of the system. It appears that NCCBI will try to coordinate an effort between our system and the university to put together a package that can be supported by both the legislative House and Senate and by the people.
● Since this is a lean year budget wise, it is incumbent upon this board and this system to present a budget that reflects the needs of this system. Our concern should be that we put forth a fair and equitable budget that reflects the needs of this system and ask the legislature to look at what we need to make sure that this system continues to move forward.
● The Trustees' Association has agreed to take a lead role in organizing a forum for gubernatorial candidates to say they are supportive of community colleges. The Faculty Association has already moved forward in this endeavor and the Presidents' Association voted that they would like to participate and will contribute $1,000 to defray some of the costs.
