Northeast Lakeview College is now offering an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing program to the number of courses it offers.
The overview: The nursing program, which was added in August, will have 30 students admitted. In January 2024, Executive Director of Nursing Crystal Saulsberry wrote the proposal and in November of that same year she presented it to the Texas Board of Nursing.
The Associate of Applied Science in Nursing program is a 2-year, 4-semester, 60-credit hour program. The program consists of clinical and face-to-face lectures, Saulsberry said.
“It also involves simulation which is really great for students because it has that real world aspect,” Saulsberry said.
Guadalupe County approves $114.54M budget for FY 2025-26
Guadalupe County commissioners passed a $114.54 million budget for fiscal year 2025-26 and adopted a tax rate increase Sept. 2.
The overview: The county adopted a property tax rate of $0.3304 per $100 valuation—a 4% increase over the no-new-revenue tax rate of $0.3177, according to agenda documents.
The rate increase will generate an estimated $5.7 million in additional revenue, $2.9 million of which comes from new property growth, according to the county’s proposed budget document. The increase is driven by investments in public safety, infrastructure, personnel and emergency response.
The $114.54 million budget includes 33 new full-time positions, including 24 in public safety positions, according to budget documents. A 3% cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, is included for eligible employees.
Public safety received the largest funding increase across departments, including a $1.5 million investment in a countywide body camera and in-car video system for all certified peace officers.
