HUTCHINSON, Kan. – The Hutchinson Community College Board of Trustees wrapped up its calendar year last week primarily with several items of routine business.
The Board approved two new positions related to Enrollment Management, Advising and Career Development. The Director of Enrollment Management and Advising Services will provide leadership and develop strategies for the college’s ongoing enrollment and retention initiatives. There is no gain of positions as these positions are created from the consolidation of existing, vacant positions.
Also Thursday, the board approved a number of bids for various purchases and projects. The first is for a truck driving simulator from L3Harris at a cost of $98,400. The simulator is being paid for with a grant.
The board also approved a bid from Lampton Welding for equipment at a cost of $100,203; new communication equipment from Weis Fire and Safety for the fire science department for $25,170; and an upgraded lighting and sound system for the Stringer Fine Arts Center. The bid for the lighting from Kent AV totals $108,475 and the bid for the sound system comes from Peach Production Services for $107,390.
The next meeting of the board will be Thursday, January 13. The meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. in the Shears Technology Center Justice Theater. The public is invited to attend.
