GOVERNANCE AND ORGANIZATION
Merger or Consolidation
In the event that Colby Community College is presented with a merger or consolidation proposal with another institution, the following must occur:
One: The President will serve as the contact point for any such proposal, whether it is initiated or received. The president will inform the Board of Trustees of all conversations and contacts pertinent to the merger or consolidation. The president will at the appropriate time, make his or her recommendation to the Board of Trustees.
Two: The Board of Trustees will then vote to put a referendum before the Thomas County Electorate at the next applicable date. For the request to go any further, at least four of the six Board of Trustees must approve the request.
Three: Lastly, Thomas County Electorate will then have the opportunity to approve or deny the merger or consolidation.
*If any of the three do not approve the request, the merger will not occur.
This policy is in accordance with the Kansas 2014 Statue 71-1301 (Authorization to agree to consolidate). In accordance with the provisions of article 13 of chapter 71 of Kansas Statutes Annotated, the boards of trustees of any two (2) or more community college districts are hereby authorized to enter into agreements to form one consolidated community college district.
