Central Nebraska Technical Community College Area has received part of the needed funds for the year, with a $330,000 check representing about a quarter of the total hoped for. The funding delay stems from a ruling invalidating property tax financing for state colleges. A Central Area board resolution on this matter is due at Monday’s meeting, and LB 344 Kramer bill will be debated in the legislature that day. A student petition with 350 signatures requests campus food service beyond vending machines. Calendar notes include elections for Student Senate officers and Emerald Ball royalty, with events May 2 and May 9 including the spring finals and commencement in the Field House.
