Ivy Tech prepares to set budget

Ivy Tech’s Lafayette campus is getting a budget increase.

The state is allocating about $200,000 more for the community college in the 2012-2013 school year.

Most of the additional funds are to pay for staffing two-full time advisors.

Executive Director of Marketing and Communications Tom McCool says this is a way to help with student performance.

He also says some of the money will be put toward professional development.

The regional board will vote on adopting the more than $34-million spending plan during its meeting Monday, June 18th.
