The Yavapai Community College will hold a workshop on Tuesday May 24 beginning at 9:00 am. and ending at 4:00 p.m. The posted Agenda https://www.yc.edu/v6/district-governing-board/sub/2022/05/2022-05-24-workshop-agenda.pdf says the workshop will be held at the Rock house on the Prescott Campus. The last-minute change to the Prescott location from the Chino Valley Center was made necessary because of air conditioning issues.
The one major item of business at the workshop will be the annual review of President Lisa Rhine’s compensation. It is anticipated that the Board will increase it. Although the exact amount of Rhine’s compensation is unknown, it rumored to be in the neighborhood of $300,000 with benefits, etc. The Community College President is the highest paid publicly supported executive in Yavapai County. County Supervisors make from $63,000 to $83,000. (See https://www.azleg.gov/ars/11/00419.htm.)
