is estimated that 60 percent of associate degree-holders work full time, percent higher than full-time workers with a high-school diploma overall unemployment rates are also affected by one’s level of

Workers with higher levels of education tend to lead healthier, more productive lives, which translates into savings for employers and taxpayers a study conducted for all community colleges in mississippi reflects that increased education levels have a statistically significant impact on major socioeconomic factors such as welfare, incarceration, smoking and alcohol abuse the study concluded that an associate-degree holder in mississippi is 25 percent less likely to abuse alcohol, 26 percent less likely to smoke, 58 percent less likely to be incarcerated, and 75 percent less

Funding Priorities for 2013 FY 2013 Priority No 1 • Mid-Level Funding ($76,972,460) passed by the Legislature in 2007, mid-Level Funding is state law and a pledge to fund community colleges at a per-student allowance that is midway between the per-student state allowance for K-12 students and regional university students a state funding increase of $2,366 per student is needed to reach that mandate the community colleges are asking for one-half of that amount in FY 2013 - about $77 million the average annual cost of tuition and required fees at community and junior colleges is currently $2,174 (FY 2012), up 2.84 percent from the previous year our colleges are serving 30 percent more students than three years ago the number of graduates produced by mississippi community colleges increased by 14 percent in 2010-11 community colleges are the higher-education entry point for the majority of mississippi college students capping enrollment and raising tuition will defeat mississippi’s goal of producing more college graduates Improvements ($166,000,000) the macJc Five-Year capital improvement plan identifies the need for new facilities and capital improvements costing more than $695 million as the fastest-growing segment of higher education, community and junior colleges must have facilities that support escalating enrollment and quality instructional programs and workforce training From 1990 to 2010, community and junior colleges received less than a third ($333,877,013) of the amount of state bonds awarded to public universities ($1,137,932,000) during the same time period the disparity continued in 2011 when the Legislature appropriated $98.9 million in state bond funds for iHL, while community colleges received only $25 million in state bond funds macJc is requesting $166 million in state bond funds for FY 2013 the funds will be distributed in the following manner: one-half evenly among the 15 institutions and the balance to be distributed based on enrollment in addition, macJc is endorsing a separate $9 million bond bill to fund the construction and furnishing of a new headquarters building for the mississippi community college Board FY 2013 Priority No 2 • Capital 24 2011 Economic impact REpoRt FY 2013 Priority No 3 • Dropout Recovery Initiative ($11,469,500) Last year, mississippi spent only $387 per adult Education student enrolled at community colleges of the 20,489 adult Education students served, only 3,067 were functioning at the 8th-grade level or above about 14,000 students leave the K-12 system each year without a high school diploma the Dropout Recovery initiative is the community college plan to “recover” at least one-fourth of those students by preparing them to pass the GED and offering short-term skills training and support services while they work toward that goal But that is only possible if the Legislature increases funding per adult Education student to the same level of support provided to students enrolled in the regular college program (14,000 dropouts per year x 25 percent {percent of students to be served} = x 3,500 students x $3,277 [FtE state funding per student] = $11,469,500.) a separate, special appropriation is requested to fund this initiative Operational budget For the 2011 budget year, the institution was provided $20.1 million in state appropriations the total taxpayer contribution to the operation of the college was $38.95 million, or 39 percent of the operating costs of the institution, capital projects and loan-payment plans Unrestricted E&G Revenue: $64,226,312
