The Senate also voted to override the governor’s veto of the mini budget, which is now law.
N.C. Community College System President Dr. Jeff Cox released a statement regarding the veto of the mini budget, which includes enrollment growth funds for community colleges.
“The General Assembly’s approval of increased enrollment funding is a crucial investment in the future of North Carolina. This support ensures our 58 community colleges can continue preparing students for high-demand careers while driving economic growth in every corner of our state,” Cox said. “We appreciate the General Assembly’s recognition of the essential role community colleges play in transforming lives and building stronger communities. We look forward to working with state leaders to drive North Carolina’s continued success.”
