Ohio's Budget Crisis
Ohio Governor Ted Strickland has announced that the state is facing not only a budget deficit in our current fiscal year, but is projected to face an exceptionally large deficit in the upcoming 2010 - 2011 operating budget.
“Our great state is confronted with challenges of historic proportions,” Strickland said. “But armed with a true understanding of the conditions we face, Ohioans will be better equipped to honestly address these difficult circumstances with the same strong resolve and spirit of cooperation we have applied to trying times in our past.”
Lorain County Community College remains committed to providing our students with quality educational services while keeping tuition affordable. While we do not know at this time if any budget cuts will affect LCCC, this is a situation that is changing very rapidly.
To keep you informed about the state budget issue, we will use this page to post information as it becomes available.
