Fort Scott Community College reveals a $1 million dollar deficit.

 The financial mismanagement was revealed in December as school offcials cite a departure from established purchasing protocals as the reason. Excessive credit card use also appears to be part of the problem.

F-S-C-C president Jason Kegler says the school has instituted a freeze on spending and hiring to repair the financial damage. A contribution from the school's endowment will help it remain finacially stable and ensure that student life will remain unaffected. Campus activities and events will continue as planned.

Kegler says the school also plans to reduce reliance on credit cards and switch to a purchase order system instead.
