Lee College is proposing significant budget adjustments for fiscal year 2027 due to an anticipated $4 million reduction in state funding. These changes include eliminating 23 vacant positions, which represent $1.6 million in salaries, and cutting a summer course. The college will also implement a 3% cost-of-living adjustment for employees and increase the benefits budget. Despite these reductions, six new positions will be added, primarily to support the Huntsville Center's Associate of Arts program. The college board will finalize the budget in August.
