St. Charles Community College Secures Support From Community

Published: 08/05/2020

On Aug. 4, St. Charles County residents passed Proposition Community College, a $30 million no-tax increase bond issue. The bond issue passed with more than 67 percent of the vote.

“We are proud and humbled to have such overwhelming support from the community in passing our bond initiative,” said Barbara Kavalier, Ph.D., SCC president. “A significant part of our budget is supported by the citizens of St. Charles County, and we want to thank voters for their continued support of SCC.”

Proposition Community College consists of four main initiatives which include the modernization and expansion of facilities needed to meet the needs of students in areas of workforce/technical training, STEM education, student support services and campus safety.

“Recognizing that it is unlikely the state will provide new funds within the next few years for any capital projects, the $30 million will help us move forward in updating and expanding facilities while advancing the goals and mission of St. Charles Community College.”

The adjusted debt service levy of the St. Charles Community College is estimated to remain unchanged from the current debt service levy of $.0440 per one hundred dollars assessed valuation of real and personal property.
