2026 Adopted Budget
Fiscal Year 2026 Budget
Fiscal Year 2025 student enrollment at Ranger College was consistent with FY 2024’s record breaking student enrollment. We are fortunate to have been challenged by the growth. With increased enrollment we have enjoyed a marked increase in our number of graduates. This year we increased our graduates at each commencement which points to the fact that our efforts not only attract new students but also retain them through graduation.
Building a Talent Strong Texas is the state’s higher education strategic plan. Increased student enrollment as well as increased acquisition of credentials at Ranger College is in line with the state’s strategic plan. With the 88th Legislature Session and the passing of House Bill 8 in June 2023, Texas is transforming the way it funds community colleges. Texas is moving us away from the static system tied primarily to students’ time in class to a modern and dynamic outcomes based formula that reflects the needs of our world-class economy. Going forward it will remain critical for Ranger College to develop programs that attract and nurture students from their enrollment through the day they walk across our stage.
During the 2024-2025 fiscal year, the College upgraded the entire Student Information System (SIS) from the outdated Poise system SIS to the more efficient and user friendly Jenzabar One. Jenzabar One is a comprehensive system that is continuing to bring the College to speed with a modern management system. This new SIS is instrumental for our Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), 6+6 = Pathway to Success, which will increase student success by reinventing the outreach, onboarding, and advising experience for our students.
During the past fiscal year, the College continued to focus on our three wildly important goals (WIGs) as addressed in our 2023-2028 Strategic Plan. These WIGs include (1) increase enrollment, (2) improve communication, and (3) improve facilities. In line with the three WIGs, the College SIS upgrade will assist us in improving communication with our students and employees. The College also completed the entry fountain on the Ranger campus, purchased property in Comanche, and are in the process of updating Ranger Hall. The Board also approved upgrades to the softball field including synthetic turf conversion.
As we move into the next fiscal year, we can anticipate that we will continue to be afforded ever changing opportunities to problem solve and overcome obstacles. The mission of Ranger College is to transform lives and give students the skills to be a positive influence in their communities. Ranger College seeks to provide a safe and quality learning environment for our students and staff. By upgrading our student information system, improving communication systems, providing targeted advising to potential, new, and returning students, and offering in person instruction as well as a robust list of online courses, we can feel confident in continuing to offer our students a safe and flexible learning opportunity.
While enrollment for Fall 2026 has been consistent with the prior year, we have implemented positive changes to ease the flow in applying, advising, and enrolling our students in order to remove the known challenges in this process.
With enrollment projections consistent with the fall 2024 semester, revenues for the College remain a challenge. Because revenues from property taxes account for only 2.1% of the College’s total revenue, Ranger College must rely on tuition and fees for a third of its revenue. For your comparison, other community colleges receive 45% of their funding through property taxes and only 22% are maintained through tuition and fees. With the State’s new funding model, State Appropriations will account for approximately 32% of the Ranger College’s total revenue.
Budgeted expenditures for fiscal year 2026 are focused on maintaining current operations within available resources and support the Strategic Plan that was recently approved for 2023 through 2028. Key budget initiatives include:
- Continuing costs for implementing our Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP)
- Increasing salaries for current employees by $270,000
- Continuing resources for expanding dual credit enrollment to bring college success at the high school level
- Upgrading computer and networking equipment
- Increasing scholarships to provide for our increasing enrollment
- Maintaining funds set aside to improve our facilities
- Increasing expenses related increased costs due to current economy
The following are comparative revenue and expense budgets, showing changes between the FY 2025 budgets and proposed FY 2026 budgets.
