Community College Board, Mississippi

The Mississippi Community College Board (formerly known as the State Board for Community and Junior Colleges) provides statewide coordination for the public community and junior colleges. The board compiles a statistical and financial report each fiscal year (July–June). The Department of Archives and History has electronic (PDF) reports from 2009.

Minutes from work sessions, board meetings, and emergency meetings of the Mississippi Community College Board (MCCB). Minutes date from the reorganization of the MCCB in 1986, when the board assumed the duties of the Junior College Commission. The board's key responsibilities include distributing legislative disbursements across the state's junior and community colleges and approving new program offerings. The minutes discuss budgets, advocating for community colleges with the legislature, workforce training efforts, capital improvements at community colleges, board turnover, and other matters.
