It is operated by the Antelope Valley Community College District, with a primary service area of 1,945 square miles covering portions of Los Angeles and Kern counties. trustees approved a tentative budget with expenditures of $22.3 million for 1996-97, similar to this year's budget, officials said Tuesday. Last year's spending equaled $22.6 million, about 1.4 percent more than this year, but officials expect to augment the 1996-97 budget by dipping into $524,000 set aside for contingencies. ``It's very much a status quo [Latin, The existing state of things at any given date.] Status quo ante bellum means the state of things before the war. The status quo to be preserved by a preliminary injunction is the last actual, peaceable, uncontested status which preceded the pending controversy. budget,'' said Al Kurki, the college president. ``It's a very good budget. We have a 6 percent ending balance.'' The tentatve 1996-97 budget includes a beginning balance of $1.3 million and projected revenues of $22.9 million. The budget was approved by the college board Monday night by a 4-0 vote, with board member Herman Kicenski absent. A final budget will be adopted in September, after the college learns exactly what funding it will receive from the state, Kurki said. Because of a drop in enrollment, the college's budget committee is projecting the school will lose $115,000 in state funding.
