7. Current California Community College Funding Model
Proposition 98 K-14 Funding
Formula based funding with 40% of budget “guaranteed” for K-14
CCC’s receive approximately 11% of prop 98 funding
ACCESS/GROWTH BASED
Funding based on FTES production with growth allocated to the system through the annual budget process
Growth rates capped based on CCCCO Growth Model
Fact: 32 district currently in stability funding and over $80 million of growth funding unused over the last two years

8. Two Funding model proposals… So far
Proposed in the Governor’s budget
50% based on enrollment, access, & growth
25% based on financial need (Promise & Pell)
25% based on performance outcomes tied to Vision for Success goals
One-year hold harmless period
Summer FTES no longer flexible
Feedback from the CEO & CCCO Fiscal Affairs Joint Funding Workgroup
75% based on Access Metrics
25% based on Equitable Success Metrics
7-Year transition with

5-year staged phase-in for Equitable Success Metrics
3-Rolling Average funding to smooth enrollment spikes
