STATE BOARD POISED TO APPROVE COMMUNITY COLLEGE BUDGET
Summer Term Funding A Welcome Addition
RALEIGH: Summer term funding was an important budget priority item for community colleges during the budget session. The North Carolina General Assembly did provide more than $7 million to support this important part of the academic programs of the North Carolina Community College System. The summer funding is part of the $ 700 million budget that the State Board of Community Colleges will review at its next meeting on Friday, July 28.
"This summer funding will provide an important financial boost to our colleges," said Kennon Briggs, NCCCS Vice President for Business and Finance. "Our presidents will no longer have to redirect money to finance the increasing number of important summer programs on our campuses."
In the past, community college presidents found it necessary to pay summer bills with money that was meant for fall and spring use. This necessary redirection of funds limited a college’s ability to finance other needs. The $7 million, which represents one sixth of the actual cost of summer curriculum instruction, will enable the colleges to provide more programs, help with the salary structure and make longer contracts for faculty available.
The State Board meets at the Caswell Building in Raleigh. A full agenda follows.
