Pulaski Tech gets operating and staffing authority

For July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, the law authorizes Pulaski Tech to spend about $73.95 million. This includes about $17.82 million from its state fund and $56.14 million from cash funds. The money covers staff pay, benefits, operations, equipment, $6.5 million in building improvements, and $6.235 million in debt payments. The college can have up to 780 regular employees, with maximum annual pay set by job. It can also hire up to 400 temporary or part-time workers when needed. Their pay cannot exceed rates allowed under the state's Uniform Classification and Compensation Act or this law. Spending is limited to available funds and must follow state fiscal laws and the stated budget purposes. This supports college operations, not direct household payments.
