Reflections of the year past…

SFA Program Performance MIS final FA reconciliation: Pell Recipients: 515,000 (up 21k) Pell Dollars: 1.61 billion (down $100 mil) –Participation growth is still significant, dollar declines due elimination of year round Pell, availability of units BOGFW Recipients: 1.08 million (down 50k) BOGFW Dollars: $602 million (up $191 mil) –Participation decline a reflection of $0 Bogfw reporting and likely offset continued growth; dollar growth reflects enrollment fee increase

Budget ~ Prop 30 Passage of Proposition 30 Community colleges will receive $210 million in additional funds for the academic year. Most of the money will be used to accelerate deferred funding commitments by the state, but it will allow colleges to serve an additional 20,000 students in the year.

Budget ~ Prop 30 (cont’d) If Prop 30 had failed, it would have meant an additional $338 million cut to colleges in January translating into 29,000 fewer classes offered and 180,000 fewer students served throughout the 112-college system. Prop 30 did not by any measure restore California community colleges to their pre- recession levels. Recent budget cuts have shut nearly 500,000 students out of community colleges since the academic year, and course offerings have been slashed by 24 percent.

FA Categorical Funding Board Financial Assistance 2% –Anticipate work load funding adjustment for increased units waived Student Financial Aid Administration includes $0.91 Base and Capacity Anticipate work load funding adjustment to base for increased units waived R2T4 requesting increased currently oversubscribed for the $500k (83% of eligible claims paid)

SSTF and SB1456 Ed Code Changes: first step to begin implementation of SSTF recommendations 2.2 (mandated services), 3.2 (BOGFW conditions), and 8.2 (Student Support Initiative) Provides broad “policy framework” for the delivery of core matriculation services in the California Community Colleges Targets funding to core matriculation services of orientation, assessment, counseling and advising, and development of education plans Raises as a priority the need to fund core matriculation services critical to increasing student success. When State budget conditions improve and CCC’s receive new monies, first priority of BOG, after funding COLA’s, is augmenting funding for the Student Success Act of 2012 Ensures impacts to student equity are considered by disaggregating data and requiring college plans that are coordinated with institutional equity planning efforts

Crystal Ball for 2013… State: –SSTF/SB1456 and the Fee Waiver Workgroup* Implementation of SB1456 and the BOGFW* – Fee Waiver Manual Update* – Fee Waiver Form (integrating Dream Act AB131 eligibility)* –Statewide Default Prevention Initiative* –$0 Dollar BOGFW MIS changes* –Changes to Form 2 re: MOE mid year reporting* –SB1289 Alternative Loan Disclosure requirements* –Continued focus on Fee Waiver program efficiency and effectiveness. –Continued focus on Disbursement Card Services and fees*

GSA – Webgrants College Cost Estimate sheets Due late January (fee increases to $36 and now to $46)

Crystal Ball for 2013 (cont’d) … Federal: –FDSLP 150% of program implementation* –Focus on “Distance Education” –Focus on “Fraud and Pell Runners” –Federal Budget – “consequences of sequestration”* and the fiscal cliff / solutions Elimination of student awards for less-than PT Elimination of eligibility for non degree/Career Technical Education programs Refocusing federal aid (Pell) on success and degree attainment as opposed to “access”

Sequestration 2013 Sequestration's across-the-board cuts would devastate non–defense discretionary programs. Funding for Pell Grants is exempt from automatic cuts in FY 2013, but many other programs vital to community college student success and institutional improvement would be sliced by 8.2%. Including: TRIO, GEAR UP, Perkins Career and Technical Education, Adult Education, Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grants, Workforce Investment Act programs, and many more. Cuts of this magnitude would severely impair the ability of community colleges to provide Americans with the education and skills they need for the 21st- century economy.
