Editorial: Funding for community college important too - Carroll County Times

While officials wrestle with schools funding, it's important to include Carroll Community College. While the county Board of Commissioners and Board of Education continue to wrestle with how to close the funding gap for local schools, it's important not to forget about the county's other educational institution, Carroll Community College. Earlier this week, the community college's President James Ball and board of trustees met with the commissioners to talk about local funding in the coming years. College officials presented a plan that includes a 5 percent tuition increase and 3 percent salary increase each of the next four years, asking for a increase in financial support from the county to do so. http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/opinion/editorials/ph-cc-editorial-091516-20160914-story.html
