Budgeting signals lean year for Panhandle college area
The Western Technical Community College Area board approves a 1975-76 budget of 2.3 million, about 35 thousand less than the prior year, with funds allocated to Nebraska Western College at Scottsbluff, Western Nebraska Technical College at Sidney, the Alliance School of Practical Nursing, and the area headquarters. The plan relies on 2 mills of property tax for operations, 1/2 mill for capital construction, and offsets from state aid, tuition, and federal programs. Board members note cuts affect a building construction instructor and athletic programs, while bond retirement dominates capital priorities.
