The Board of Legislators unanimously approved County Executive Rob Astorino's budget, which keeps tuition flat for the 13,000 students.

“WCC is where so many students go for a quality and affordable education so that they can make a better life for themselves and their families," Astorino said. "We must find ways to keep public education affordable and a tuition increase would hurt far too many of WCC’s students.”

The $122 million operating budget for the 2017-2018 school year includes a $29.9 million sponsor contribution from the county, an increase of $67,000 over last year and $500,000 from the year before.

Additionally, WCC’s capital budget includes $2.16 million for four projects, which include technology upgrades at several locations on-and-off-campus along with site improvements throughout campus and a proposal to assess planning and infrastructure needs going forward.
