GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Northeast Wisconsin Technical College has approved its proposed budget for 2018-2019.
The $115.9 million budget was approved Wednesday.
School officials say the recently approved budget is less than last year’s budget of $117.3 million.
While the budget is slightly less than last year’s, it supports new programs such as associates degrees in farm production agronomy and event management as well as technical diplomas in project management, refrigeration, and metal fabrication.
NWTC president, Jeff Rafn issued a statement
“This budget addresses the new reality of strong employer demand for a high skilled workforce, the rapid increase of baby boomer retirements and the increasingly competitive global market. We intend to get more people into College, help more students succeed in their classes, open up new career paths and see more students complete a credential and contribute to the area’s economic stability and growth.”
Property owners in the district can expect to pay about $83 on a $100,000 home compared to about $166 five years ago.
