Summary
Board members heard that Mid State’s revenues are pacing ahead of expectations through January 2026 ($35.2M YTD, 60.6% of budget) with expenditures lagging; the finance committee said reserves remain strong but noted concern about future financial forecasts to be addressed during budget work.
At its President’s Day meeting, the Mid State Technical College board reviewed the finance and infrastructure committee’s midyear report covering results through January 2026.
The chair reported total revenues recognized year to date were $35,200,000, representing 60.6% of the annual budget, with revenues outpacing expenditures by about $4,800,000. Total expenditures through January were reported as $30,300,000. The chair said fund accrued equity stood at $36,400,000, and the college has recognized $6,000,000 in debt proceeds year to date to support capital needs. “An additional $1,500,000 note sale will be reflected in the February once the cash is received,” the chair said.
Board members were told cash and investments were approximately $22,900,000, with total assets of $37,900,000, which the committee characterized as continued liquidity and financial stability. Committee conclusions emphasized that revenue pacing and controlled expenditures have left the college in a strong position at midyear.
At the end of the report the chair and board noted ongoing concern about the financial forecast moving forward and said those risks would be addressed during upcoming budget work and the FY27 capital budget presentation.
