Successful System Audit, Allocation of Lottery Scholarships, and Blue Ridge CC Repayment on State Board of Community College meeting agenda

 

RALEIGH – The State Board of Community Colleges meets during an uncharacteristic one-day session on Friday, February 16 in the Caswell Building.  Committee meetings take place in the morning and the full Board meets at noon to conduct business.

 

Information the Board will receive is the positive result of the fiscal control audit of the North Carolina Community College System Office conducted by the Office of the State Auditor.  The Auditor’s office gathered information and evaluated evidence to determine the System Office’s  internal control over fiscal matters including: financial accounting and reporting; compliance with finance-related laws, regulations, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements; and /or management of financial resources.  The Board will hear that the Auditor found no deficiencies or instances of noncompliance in System fiscal control

 

The Board will be asked to approve the official payment schedule for the 2007-2008 NC Community College Grant program that includes the Lottery Payment schedule.  The Lottery Scholarship is designed for students who demonstrate need for financial assistance while attending college.  These funds increase the ability of the System to provide financial assistance to more needy students.

 

The Board will also be asked to approve the schedule of repayment by Blue Ridge Community College of more than $100 thousand dollars in state funds wrongfully expended by the college.  The money was used by the community college to support intercollegiate athletics.  The use of state funds for athletic purposes at community colleges is prohibited.

 

The full agenda follows.
