Just in case you forgot something, check out the 2000/01 year in review. The year kicked off with talk of a second entrance being added to the school to help ease the traffic congestion at the only entrance on the 39th Avenue, but nothing has come of that yet.

Board approves next year’s budget By Lonny Sulfaro Puyallup Post
On May 9, the 2001-02 the student services and activities budget, and the technology fee budget were approved by the Pierce College Board of Trustees. Next year’s budget is similar to this year’s, with most programs receiving an increase in funding. The total operating budget for the student services and activities is $329,945 which is almost a $30,000 increase from this year. The largest jump in approved funds for the student life programs is the account for the office of student programs that will receive $61,000 next year, an increase of $4,650 from this year. Other programs will receive the same
amount of money. There are also a few accounts that will see a decrease in funding for next year. The account that will see the largest decrease is the orientation/special projects account that will receive $25,000, which is $3,400 less than this year. The Board of Trustees also approved the student services and activities fee increase. The fee will range anywhere from $5.50 per credit to the maximum allowed by the Washington State Legislature. In the technology fee budget, the final allocation for Pierce College Puyallup is $233,000. The money will go for computer lab support, library computer replacements, student printing in the library funding, and student printers.
