Board reviews DCCC budget, donations, vehicle purchase and staffing contracts
Summary
At the finance report the board reviewed Delaware County Community College's $94,008,080 budget and a modest 1.5% district contribution increase, approved donations to Manoa Elementary and Chatham Park library, established a mock‑trial student group, and discussed a $306,000 maintenance vehicle purchase and staffing agreements.
The finance committee reported several items to the board. Members reviewed the Delaware County Community College (DCCC) FY 2026–27 operating budget (listed as $94,008,080) and reminded residents that district participation helps secure reduced tuition rates for local students; a board member noted the tuition break is significant for residents. The committee reported the district’s contribution increased by about 1.5% this year.
"Their budget is 94,008,080," a finance presenter said when introducing the DCCC item. Board members were encouraged to notify residents that the program provides a substantial tuition reduction for district residents.
The committee also reported two donations — $1,000 to Manoa Elementary for school supplies and $3,910.23 from the Chatham Park Home Association for the library — and established a student activity group for the 2026–27 year to support a mock trial program. On fleet replacement, staff described a planned purchase of multiple vehicles (including a box truck and plow trucks) totaling about $306,000; staff said financing options were considered but an outright purchase was recommended after bond counsel review. The board discussed staffing‑services agreements to supplement technology and administrative support if needed, citing Robert Half (transcribed as "Robert 0.5") and Aston Carter as potential vendors.
