Assembly panel reviews COLA and modest enrollment growth proposal for community colleges
Summary
State officials and the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office told the Assembly budget subcommittee the governor's budget proposes a 2.43% COLA for apportionments and 0.5% enrollment growth funding, while the system urged larger funding to meet uneven local demand.
Assemblymember Jose Medina Alvarez opened the California State Assembly Budget Subcommittee No. 3 hearing on community college finance by focusing members on graduation and enrollment challenges at California Community Colleges. He said Proposition 98 makes some augmentations possible but pressed panels on how proposals would improve graduation rates and access.
Justin Hurst of the Department of Finance summarized the governor's proposal for the Student Centered Funding Formula (SCFF). "The governor's budget proposes a cost of living adjustment at the rate of 2.43% in the amount of $230,400,000 Proposition 98 General Fund for apportionments," Hurst said. He added the budget proposes funding enrollment growth at 0.5% with an associated $30,400,000 Proposition 98 General Fund allocation.
