Montgomery College asks county for $6.4m more - Rachel Baye, Washington Examiner

Montgomery College is asking county taxpayers for $6.4 million more while it plans to hold tuition rates steady in the coming fiscal year. The proposal includes an additional $7.7 million for a 2.25 percent raise for college employees in fiscal 2014, according to an internal County Council memo obtained by The Washington Examiner. The proposal would make fiscal 2014 the first year in five that pay increased for most employees. This year, employees received bonuses instead of raises. The college is overdue for a pay raise, said Councilman Craig Rice, D-Germantown, who sits on the council's Education Committee. http://washingtonexaminer.com/montgomery-college-asks-county-for-6.4m-more/article/2520331
