Community Colleges Fighting Budget Cuts
As state government braces for the possibility of deep budget cuts, Kentucky's community college system is attempting to ready itself for opposition to those potential cuts. Kentucky Community & Technical College System President Michael McCall says, while the state unemployment rate averages around 11% and more people are turning to community colleges for retraining, he is seeking support to hold the system's base funding at $215 million. McCall also says, while his legislative agenda for next year includes $481 million for capital projects, he plans to visit all the system's 16 colleges before January.
