McLennan Community College President Johnette McKown looked to a neighboring college in finding an administrator to succeed Stephen Benson as vice president of finance.
The Central Texas College Board of Trustees unanimously voted Tuesday to move ahead with campus improvements to remove barriers experienced by students with disabilities.
On May 6, the college entered into an agreement with the Justice Department to âremove barriers to accessibility in facilities, such as classrooms, dormitories, libraries, technology centers and places of recreation,â according to a news release from the Department of Justice.
Tuesday the CTC board approved a contract with Jamail & Smith for an ADA accessibility project which may cost the community college up to $2.1 million over the duration of the project.
During a May 18 board workshop, CTC Associate Deputy Chancellor Mark Harmsen told the board CTC âjust received a laundry list with all of the items that they (the Justice Department) had identified.â
For the first time since the coronavirus pandemic began more than a year ago, Central Texas College will reopen its student housing facility, Morton Hall, to students for the summer 2021 semester.
Summer occupancy will allow 35 full-time, single students to reside on campus. Students will not have roommates as the schoolâs COVID-19 safety protocols require students to live in a single-occupancy room with no sharing of bathrooms.
All check-in materials formerly handled in-person will now be done virtually/online and submitted prior to a studentâs arrival to minimize contact and the unnecessary handling of documents.
Residents will be required to complete a virtual orientation to ensure an understanding of the implemented rules and safety guidelines. Prior to the move-in date, students must present a negative COVID-19 test result no more than seven days old. International students must present proof of vaccination.
