Since that time, the Board has conducted one public hearing to receive residents' <br /> comments regarding the proposed funding plan. Tonight's work session is the first opportunity <br /> the Board has had to discuss next year's recommended funding plan related to non K-12 <br /> Education funding. Total Durham Technical Community College Education funding, as included <br /> in the FY 2022-23 Manager Recommended Budget, is $884,405. <br /> County Support of Orange County Campus of Durham Technical Community College <br /> Durham Technical Community College (DTCC) — Orange County Campus requested $822,020 <br /> for Operations (an increase of $44,928 from FY 2021-22), Capital Outlay funds of $100,000 <br /> ($25,000 increase from FY 2021-22), and $250,000 related to financial aid ($200,000 to continue <br /> the funding of 200 scholarships for Orange County residents attending DTCC and continued <br /> funding of $50,000 for financial aid grants for Back to Work students when their courses are not <br /> covered by the State). Both financial aid requests are funded through Article 46 One-Quarter Cent <br /> Sales Tax proceeds. <br /> The recommended funding for the Orange County Campus of Durham Technical Community <br /> College, located at the Waterstone Development in Hillsborough, provides current expense <br /> funding of $809,405 (an increase of $32,313 from FY 2021-22) and recurring capital of $75,000 <br /> (the same as in FY 2021-22). In addition, the recommended budget includes $200,000 for 200 <br /> scholarships (student tuition for Orange County Residents) and $50,000 for financial aid for Back <br /> to Work students when their courses are not covered by the State. Both of these will be paid from <br /> Article 46 Sales Tax proceeds instead of through Current Expenses. <br />
