STATE BOARD OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO DISCUSS BUDGET PRIORITIES

RALEIGH: The State Board of Community Colleges will take up the proposed 2004-2005 NCCCS Consensus Budget for the first time at its February 12 meeting. This is the Board’s initial step in setting the budget priorities of the North Carolina Community College System for the next two years. The funding items represent the most essential fiscal needs that will enable the NCCCS to respond to the changing economy and meet the requirements of its students and of business and industry.

Over the past four years, the NCCCS has experienced substantial budget reductions in student support, instruction, and other areas directly related to the classroom. While the General Assembly has provided full enrollment growth funding, dramatic reductions in cash allocations by the State Budget Office resulted in a budget shortfall for the NCCCS. The biennial budget request presented to the Governor and the General Assembly is designed to build operational capacity and enhance student support.

The budget priorities for the 2004-05 Biennium include:

$59.3 million for enrollment growth, faculty and professional staff salaries and summer term funding

$223.5 million to meet the equipment needs that will modernize community colleges

$17.1 million for valuable business and industry training resources

$10.9 million in additional funding for community colleges with multiple campuses and/or off-campus centers.

Final Board approval is expected at the March meeting.

The Board will have several important items on their agenda for approval at the Thursday meeting including the initiation of the rule-making process regarding local college personnel policy.

The State Board meeting takes place at the headquarters of University of North Carolina Television (UNC-TV) in Research Triangle Park. The committees meet in the morning and the full Board convenes at 1:15 p.m. in UNC-TV’s Board Room. Prior to the Board meeting, UNC-TV will present a demonstration on digital broadcast technology and potential collaborative opportunities.
