Shaelee Luebbe puts out butterscotch timbales as culinary students prepare a themed buffet at Southeast Community College last year. At the height of the recession, the state funded 34% of the community colleges’ budgets, while tuition revenue made up 27% and locally assessed property taxes accounted for 39%. In the most recent data from 2017-18, the funding share has shifted: 29% is funded through the state, 21% through students and 51% through property taxes.

Shaelee Luebbe puts out butterscotch timbales as culinary students prepare a themed buffet at Southeast Community College last year. At the height of the recession, the state funded 34% of the community colleges’ budgets, while tuition revenue made up 27% and locally assessed property taxes accounted for 39%. In the most recent data from 2017-18, the funding share has shifted: 29% is funded through the state, 21% through students and 51% through property taxes.
