RATIFIED BILL

 

 

AN ACt to give community college boards additional flexibility in setting the salary of community college presidents.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

 

SECTION 1.  G.S. 115D‑5(a) reads as rewritten:

"(a)       The State Board of Community Colleges may adopt and execute such policies, regulations and standards concerning the establishment, administration, and operation of institutions as the State Board may deem necessary to insure the quality of educational programs, to promote the systematic meeting of educational needs of the State, and to provide for the equitable distribution of State and federal funds to the several institutions.

The State Board of Community Colleges shall establish standards and scales for salaries and allotments paid from funds administered by the State Board, and all employees of the institutions shall be exempt from the provisions of the State Personnel Act. Any and all salary caps set by the State Board for community college presidents shall apply only to the State‑paid portion of the salary. Except as otherwise provided by law, the employer contribution rate on the local-paid portion of the salary, to be paid from local funds, shall be set by the State Treasurer based on actuarial recommendations. The State Board shall have authority with respect to individual institutions: to approve sites, capital improvement projects, budgets; to approve the selection of the chief administrative officer; to establish and administer standards for professional personnel, curricula, admissions, and graduation; to regulate the awarding of degrees, diplomas, and certificates; to establish and regulate student tuition and fees within policies for tuition and fees established by the General Assembly; and to establish and regulate financial accounting procedures.

The State Board of Community Colleges shall require all community colleges to meet the faculty credential requirements of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools for all community college programs."

SECTION 1.1.  For the 2010-2011 fiscal year, the employer contribution rate on the local paid portion of the salary under G.S. 115D-5(a) is twelve and twenty-nine hundredths percent (12.29%).

SECTION 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 2010.
