They kept the general fund mill levy at 20.13 and capital outlay at 1.026 mills, for a total 21.15 mills, to fund campus projects.

New programs include culinary management and commercial truck driving with CDL training and job placement, run in partnership with Excel Driver Services. The next meeting is Sept. 10 at 6 p.m. in the Beth Tedrow Student Center Endowment Room.
