In remarks to the committee, L-L-C-C Taylorville executive director Scott Stallman told members that the Taylorville campus enrollment numbers have been flat versus last year, with a 5 to 6 percent drop this semester.  Stallman attributed that to fewer students graduating from high school, as well as at-risk students dropping out.  Stallman added that the college is making attempts to retain existing students and especially to assist those at-risk of dropping out.
