2020年9月11日

The 中央社区学院 理事会 has approved an operating budget for 2020-21, which includes a third consecutive decrease in the property tax levy for the 25 counties served by CCC.

The property tax levy was set at 9.2000 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, down from 9.2019- 2020年为3117美分. The decrease comes at a time when valuations across the 25 counties are also down. The college recognizes continued hardships from area floods in 2019 and pandemic challenges in 2020.

“中央社区学院 is proud to continue providing quality education to our 25-county service area,” said CCC 理事会 Chair Sam Cowan. “To do this while reducing the tax levy is a tribute to the college’s administration and employees.”

The total tax supported budget for 2020-21 is $71,769,258, 哪个是591美元,654 less than the 2019-20 budget.

“We are pleased to continue the important work of serving students across our 25-county service area in essential careers like agriculture, 先进制造, 刑事司法, 护理, information technology and environmental health and safety,CCC主席Dr. 马特Gotschall. “Our elected board knows the struggles of area property taxpayers, while making investments to maximize student and community success.”

In addition to local property taxes, 其他收入包括国家援助, tuition and other sources tied to bookstores and food services, 哪些是CCC的附属机构.  

另外, 学院的预算是9美元,778,020 in the capital improvement fund, a $287,从2019- 2020年增加495, 和2美元,503,394 in a fund for removal of hazardous materials and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (HazMat/ADA), a $1,610,从2019- 2020年减少995人. The HazMat/ADA and capital improvement funds are also supported entirely through property taxes from CCC’s 25-county service area.

Property taxes are based on property valuations for the 25 counties served by CCC, which reported a decrease in total valuation of $413,451,322, or a decrease of less than one percent.

Total budgeted disbursements and transfers for 中央社区学院 for 2020-2021 will exceed $120 million.
