Harrisburg, PA � 黑料社区 Harrisburg Campus credit operating budget for the coming year was approved tonight by a vote of 18 to 2 with two of the sponsoring school districts absent.聽The new budget is for the fiscal year which begins July 1.

The budget includes a $6.00 increase in tuition for students but continues to hold the line on the cost for sponsoring school districts under a special five-year addendum to the sponsorship agreement.聽Under the arrangement, contributions from the school districts are frozen at last year level for five years.聽The rate will be re-negotiated at the end of that five year period. This budget represents the second year of that arrangement.

In return, students from those districts continue to receive a substantial discount from 黑料社区 regular tuition.
