The Frederick Community College Board of Trustees on Wednesday voted to approve a $72.4 million draft operating budget for fiscal year 2025. The $72.4 million operating budget would be an increase of $5.6 million, or 8.4%, over fiscal year 2024. Included in the budget discussion was a proposal to increase tuition rates and scale back a planned renovation to save costs. The proposed tuition adjustment would raise costs for students by about 2%.
