2. Seattle Colleges’ Resource Challenges

3. Context for changes in resources
Declining State resources
Enrollment
SBCTC Allocation model
Local pressures

4. Declining State resources
No “backfill” of tuition decreases
$12.9 million for CTC system
Seattle = approx. 11% or $1.4 million
Moore vs. HCA settlement
$13.4 million – Community and Technical Colleges’ local funds
Seattle = approx. $1.5 million (one-time)
McCleary impacts (TBD)
