The Mid-Plains Community College Board of Governors will meet Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at North Platte Community College’s North Campus, 1101 Halligan Drive in North Platte.
Board members will begin with recognitions for the NPCC Golf Team and the North Platte Community College Foundation Board.
An open forum will follow, allowing students, faculty, staff, members of the public and board members to address the board. Under Nebraska Public Meetings Law, the board will not take immediate action on items raised during open forum unless they are already listed on the agenda.
Consent items include approval of minutes from the Jan. 21 board work session and regular meeting, the January financial report and the annual affirmation of policies. The board will also consider the resignation of English faculty member Mary Wilson, effective May 13.
Among actions required by law, the board will consider approval of January bills totaling $1,171,851.15. Board members who received reimbursements during the month will abstain from voting on their individual reimbursement items.
The board is also scheduled to consider a bid from Dana F. Cole and Company for the college’s yearly financial, uniform guidance and FTE/REU audits for fiscal years ending 2026 through 2028.
In addition, governors will review a bid for first floor window replacements at McMillen Hall.
Several 2026 meeting schedule changes are also up for consideration. Those include holding the May 20 meeting at the Imperial Community Campus, canceling the June meeting and moving the Sept. 16 meeting to Sept. 23.
Two major financial decisions are also on the agenda. The board will consider recommendations for 2026-27 tuition and fees, along with housing and meal rates for the same academic year.
The meeting will conclude with a president and cabinet report before adjournment.
