M E M O R A N D U M TO: Alamo Colleges Family FROM: Dr. Bruce Leslie, Chancellor RE: 2011 Alamo Colleges Budget DATE: July 21, 2010 All Texas state agencies are facing unprecedented fiscal cuts over the next several years. As a result, the

Alamo Colleges will lose $21 million in state aid from our budget in the next three years. However, due to substantial enrollment increases, the additional faculty and staff required to serve our growing student population, and the operating costs of our 24 new buildings, the financial challenges we face are even greater. Because of these factors, we must actually cut $27 million or more through 2013. The actual figure will depend on how local property tax revenues change and whether tuition increases.

By putting education first while also showing great discipline and fiscal responsibility, we can earn the public’s trust in our stewardship so that they will support modest tax and tuition increases.

It will take everyone’s flexibility, dedication, positive spirit, good ideas, and contributions to maintain quality while also accomplishing deep budget cuts, redesigning operations as needed, and improving systems to become more efficient. But I have faith in the abilities of the Alamo Colleges faculty, staff, and administration, as well as the community we serve. Working together, we will not only weather the storm but also prevail and become a better college system as a result.
