McHenry County College Board of Trustees conducted four separate meetings Thursday evening resulting in the election of the same officers for the Board, George Lowe, Chair, Mary Miller, Vice Chair, and Donna Kurtz, Secretary. Also returned by the students, was Cody Sheriff, as Student Trustee.
The Board also heard a report on the Promise program inaugurated by the Friends of McHenry County College Foundation. Trustee Parrish, liaison to the Promise Program, reported some good and some bad news regarding the program participants.
He noted that some of the good stories coming from that program are that it is not a charity, but a program that students return to the community volunteer time for receipt of tuition help. His report also included the fact that about one-half of those applying, approximately 250, do not fulfill the requirements of doing community service work.
