In order to offset the loss in revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for an estimated 15 percent budget cut, Centralia College is furloughing employees for four days throughout the month of July, the college stated in a recent news release. “We won’t know for sure what the actual budget hole is until the Legislature meets, but the Office of Fiscal Management has asked us to prepare for a 15 percent cut,” explained Centralia College President Bob Mohrbacher. “Between that and lower tuition revenues, we expect our budget cut to be over $2 million, perhaps as much as $2.5 million.”
