Appropriation; Community and Junior Colleges Board - Support for community and junior colleges.
SB 2011 appropriates $227.65 million from the State General Fund and $65.79 million from the Education Enhancement Fund for Mississippi's public community and junior colleges during fiscal year 2026. The bill directly affects 14 specific institutions (including Hinds, Mississippi Gulf Coast, and Northeast Mississippi Community Colleges) by funding their operations through a formula based on full-time equivalent student enrollment, with weighted allocations for academic, technical, nursing, and allied health programs. Key provisions include $30.81 million for employee life/health insurance, $6.75 million for workforce development and equipment, $179,050 for sign language interpreter training, and $10 million for education technology. Funds are distributed based on student enrollment counts as of the sixth week of each semester, with advance payments allowed for colleges facing immediate cash flow needs.
