Following approval by the State Board, the college system's budget request will be sent to the governor and the Legislature. The governor will consider this request as he prepares his budget proposal, and lawmakers will review the package when they begin developing the state's next biennial operating budget in January 2001. The board will discuss the budget and other items in a study session Wednesday from 2 to 5 p.m. In addition the board has scheduled a dinner meeting Wednesday with members of the Peninsula College Board of Trustees.
All meetings are open to the public.
