State Board of Community Colleges to review budget

New student member to join the Board

 

RALEIGH:  Now that the Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2006-07 has been signed by Governor Easley, the task falls to the State Board of Community Colleges to approve the budget policy issues and the dispensation of funds to community colleges.  Their first step in that process takes place this week during the Information Session on Thursday, July 20 in the State Board Room of the Caswell Building.  Kennon Briggs, North Carolina Community College System vice president for budget and finance, will walk the members through the budget passed by the General Assembly.  This will clear the way for System Office staff to prepare a document for the Board’s Finance and Capital Needs Committee to deliberate and approve before next month’s State Board meeting.

 

Jonathan Smith, the student representative on the State Board, will be sworn in as a new member on Friday.  Smith is a Criminal Justice Technology major at Roanoke-Chowan Community College in Ahoskie.  He is past and present president of the Student Government Association at the college and newly-elected president of the North Carolina Comprehensive Community College Student Government Association (N4CSGA).  In addition to maintaining a 4.0 average, Smith also plays center on the college’s basketball team and is very involved in his community.  He is a former Marine and the father of a two-year-old daughter.

 

Smith replaces Steve O. Johnson, the past president of the N4CSGA. The Board will pay tribute to Johnson for his service as a member of the State Board.

 

The full State Board agenda follows.
