Collin College's Board of Trustees and its Finance and Audit Committee held meetings this week to review the proposed 2026 tax rate, the fiscal year 2026-2027 budget, and a potential bond election. As of today, minutes from these meetings have not been published, so no official votes or outcomes are available.
Finance and Audit Committee
The Finance and Audit Committee met on August 4 at 5:00 PM in Conference Room 400A at the Collin Higher Education Center, 3452 Spur 399, McKinney. According to the agenda, the committee conducted preliminary reviews of the proposed 2026 tax rate and the FY 2026-2027 budget. It also considered approval of revised audit plans for fiscal year 2026 and proposed audit plans for fiscal year 2027. No action results are recorded.
Board Retreat
The Board of Trustees held a retreat on August 7 to discuss three items: a financial update, the college's master plan, and a legislative update. The agenda included a public comment period for both agenda and non-agenda items. No votes or decisions were listed on the retreat agenda.
Regular Meeting
Also on August 7, the Board of Trustees held a regular meeting. The agenda included a vote on the proposed 2026 tax rate and consideration of an order calling a bond election. Additional items included the appointment of a Trustee for Place 8, an interlocal agreement with El Paso County Community College District for cooperative purchasing, and a discussion of property purchase, lease, or value near existing campuses. As with the other meetings, minutes have not yet been published, so the outcomes of these items are not known.
All three meetings are listed as agenda-only, meaning official minutes have not been released. Residents seeking final decisions should check the college's published minutes when they become available.
Coming up
