  10. FY 2013 – Priority 1 Mid-Level Funding • MLF guarantees access and affordability – CJC tuition increases outpaced inflation and increases in median family income for the past 10 years. • Student tuition revenues are higher than state appropriations at some community colleges in FY 2012.

  13. FY 2013 – Priority 2 Capital Improvements • $166,000,000* • Compared to IHL, Mississippi’s 15 community colleges received only .29 cents for every dollar awarded to the state’s eight public universities since 1989. *One-half of the funds to be distributed equally and the balance to be distributed based on enrollment

  14. State Headquarters BuildingCapital Improvements • $9,000,000 separate request • The Legislature has given MCCB the land, and the planning is done. It is time to build a headquarters for the oldest community college system in the nation.

  15. FY 2013 – Priority 3Dropout Recovery • $11,469,500 • Provide the same level of state support per ABE/GED student as students enrolled in regular college level programs • 3,500 dropouts served at FTE value of $3,277 • Short-term skills training and wrap-around services such as transportation, child care and legal aid

  16. FY 2013 – Priority 3Dropout Recovery • Of the 20,489 Adult Education students served last year, only 3,067 were functioning at an 8th grade level or above. • With state and federal funding, only $387 per student is available to serve this population. • Mississippi cannot achieve its goal of more citizens with college credentials and degrees unless more adult learners earn a GED and transition to higher education.
