SUBJECT: 2011-12 Adoption Budget
The budget development process has been much smoother this
year than last. As you will see from the
presentation materials the changes from tentative to adoption
are smaller in number and less dramatic
than 2010-2011. This is a more typical pattern for the
unrestricted general fund portion of the budget.
The heavy lifting is normally done in preparation for the
tentative budget. We do place added emphasis
on the restricted funds moving from the tentative to adoption
budgets.
For the restricted funds there are no major surprises and with
the effort made during this last year by the
fiscal services staff and program managers the restricted funds
budgets are cleaner and reflect more
clearly the true status of programs.
Regarding the unrestricted general fund we are pleased to report
that there is some revenue improvement
as a result of the state budget that was adopted but at the same
time our estimate of the beginning fund
balance turned out to be higher than the actual results. We will
expand on these points in this
memorandum.
We also want to provide you with a sense of what the current
circumstance means for the 2012-2013
fiscal year. It has been the district strategy to approach the
state funding loss in a multi-year plan and the
2011-12 budget represents the first year of the plan.
State Budget
The state budget had to confront a shortfall of $26 billion.
About $13 billion was addressed back in
March through reduced funding of programs, the community
colleges included. This became the best
case scenario in the evaluative process. Facing more cuts to
close the gap for the remaining $13 billion,
extending taxes or a combination of both, the legislature and
governor could not reach agreement on how
to proceed. The process bogged down in the usual political
way.
The “May Revise” is that point where the state measures
revenue flows and makes adjustments to the
revenue estimates for the next year. When that measurement
occurred it was determined that the revenue
estimates could be increased which covered a portion of the $13
billion gap. In the final days of June to
get the budget out the door the revenue estimates were
increased further but because there was a sense the
numbers were soft and unlikely to materialize, triggers were
incorporated which would impose mid-year
cuts. The trigger date for making the determination is
December 15, 2011. The triggers are as follows:
Tier 0
If between $3 and $4 billion of the new revenue materializes, no
additional cuts beyond the best case will
be needed.
Tier 1
If the state only generates between $2 and $3 billion of the new
revenue, then community colleges will
lose $30 million of revenue and student fees will increase from
$36 to $46 a unit.
Tier 2
If less than $2 billion of the new revenue is received, then
community colleges (in addition to Tier 1
actions) will lose $72 million more in revenue.
District’s Approach
While at the time we prepared the tentative budget we did not
have these details the District did adopt a
strategy which is still consistent with the outcome of the final
state budget. We assumed a revenue loss
greater than the best case but targeted our FTES to achieve the
best case in the event funding did come
through at that level.
Given the uncertainty of the state budget and the fact that we
will not truly know what the budget is until
the year is half over the present strategy is further affirmed.
While this is good to know it still clouds our
ability to have clear direction on what to do about the 2012-
2013 year. It appears we will need to make
budget reductions for 2012-2013 but the ultimate dollar amount
is in question. Further as we look at on-
going expenses for step/column and health benefit cost
increases the intense local budget pressure
remains, absent any new revenues. The District is also mindful
of potential items that have budget
implications that are not included in 2011-12, but will have
future budget planning implications and affect
decisions on reduction levels. These are items such as
implementing recommendations of a classification
study, settlement of pending union salary issues and a possible
STRS rate increase.
The Change from Tentative to Adoption Budgets
On the revenue side of the equation the state funding went up
by about $1.3 million from the earlier
estimates. Please note that the District is anticipating state
apportionment at the Tier 2 level. If the final
outcome is better, then clearly that will improve our revenue
position. Based on the assessment from the
Chancellor’s Office, we have also incorporated a .5% one-time
deficit due to the anticipated shortfall in
student fees. Apart from these items, several smaller
adjustments to local revenue were made based on
end-of-year final numbers for 2010-2011. Lottery revenue was
also reduced due to the lower FTES levels
in 2011-12.
We did see a net increase in the expenditure budget due to the
unrestricted Lottery funding decrease
related to positions contained in the budget. There were some
minor operational increases that had not
been picked up when the tentative budget was completed. The
administration has been working with the
SERP results to establish what key operational positions needed
to be replaced, which departments
needed to be re-worked and those results are anticipated in the
budget.
One final piece of the expenditure budget has to do with
incorporating carryovers. These are items that
add to the expense budget but cannot be determined until the
books are closed. The prime example is
faculty travel which is governed by the CTA union contract.
There are some other carryovers as well but
this one is the most significant. Up until a year ago, carryovers
were a major problem for managing and
controlling the District budget. They totaled as much as $1.7
million in a recent fiscal year. This made
budget management and projections extremely difficult. Today
automatic carryovers are no longer the
expectation and approved carryovers are more in line with what
they should be.
The estimate of the beginning balance at the time of the
tentative budget was $15.4 million. This
estimate seemed to be solid and on target for a number of
months. Even as the District moved toward the
end of the year the data supported that number. Because this is
the first year the District is using new
tools to manage and evaluate the budget, there was no history
on what to expect at year end. June is the
catch up month for transactions since it closes out the year.
There was much greater activity than was
expected and some costs came in higher than anticipated. As a
result instead of a fund balance of $15.4
million, the fund balance is $13.2 million. For next year, the
District will have a better understanding of
the “June dynamic” and anticipate these costs in the modeling.
Further, some of the costs categories
contributing to the affect on fund balance are not expected to do
so next year.
Looking Forward
The state’s financial situation is not as dire as it was but still
contains substantial structural problems. The
national economic circumstance suggests that California will
not see a rapid return to prosperity. This
larger picture makes planning for the next couple of years more
difficult. Add to that our own internal
cost pressures and we see tough budget times at least in the
short term.
The District’s fund balance while not at the level we had
anticipated is still very strong and needs to be as
we wrestle with the financial issues confronting us. We need to
begin now planning for the 2012-2013
year even though we lack detailed information about our
funding. The greater control we exercise over
our fate, the better the outcome. As you will see from the
multi-year model, there may still be some
tough decisions ahead.
The Half-full Perspective
The Delta College community worked together to put in place a
reasonable, yet very lean budget for the
2011-12 fiscal year. The District will continue to provide
educational opportunity to more students than
the state will support, in spite of the fiscal downturn. This
budget demonstrated compassion in the way
staff reduction goals were achieved. The District has a strong
financial position to take on the next
battering wave of the financial storm and there is still
continuity and integrity in the educational programs
of the District. The strong financial position must be protected
through constant monitoring, exercising
financial prudence and with support of the collective college
community. The District in its approach to
building this budget avoided hysteria and demonstrated a quiet
strength and resolve which goes a very
long way in producing confidence and support for the needed
operational actions.

The State will defund the community college system by $517
million. This represents the “Tier 2”
scenario. Impact on the District – a loss of $6M million which
is an estimated 1,240 FTES reduction.
The District will develop an FTES target for 2011-12 closer to
the “Best Case” to protect potential
revenue enhancement. The target will be 15,000 funded FTES.
The budget anticipates mitigation of the deficit created by the
state action over a three year period.
Funding reductions to categorical programs will result in
reduced expenditures in those programs.
The budget reflects SERP savings net of backfill costs for key
positions in District operations.

All Funds Description
The following fund description overview is based on the
California Community College
Budget and Accounting Manual that prescribes the accounting
practices and uniform coding
for all colleges in the California Community College System.
The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the district.
It is used to account for those
transactions that, in general, cover the full scope of operations
of the district (instruction,
administration, student services, maintenance and operations,
etc.). All transactions shall be
accounted for in the General Fund unless there is a compelling
reason (e.g., legal or
contractual requirement) to report them in another fund.
Revenues received by or for a
community college district from State apportionments or county
or local taxes (other than
moneys required to be placed in another fund) shall be
deposited in the General Fund of the
district.
For purposes of flexibility, the district may establish any
number of subfunds or accounts to
constitute its General Fund; however, for financial reporting,
these must be consolidated into
either the Unrestricted Subfund (11) or Restricted Subfund (12).
Division of the General
Fund into two subfunds reflects the need to differentiate truly
discretionary revenue from
restricted revenue, while preserving a complete accounting of
the financial operation and
support of educational programs. Accordingly, restricted
revenues (such as those for
categorically-funded programs) are accounted separately from
other general purpose
moneys, but classified as a component of the total fund that
provides instructional and
support services. The General Fund is held in the treasury of the
county having jurisdiction
over the community college district.
The Restricted Subfund is used to account for resources
available for the operation and
support of the educational programs that are specifically
restricted by laws, regulations,
donors, or other outside agencies as to their expenditure. Such
externally imposed
restrictions are to be contrasted with internally created
designations imposed by the
governing board on unrestricted moneys. In general,
unrestricted moneys can be used for
any legal purpose deemed necessary. Restricted moneys are
from an external source that
requires the moneys be used for specific purpose(s).
Moneys such as matching contributions for categorical
programs are unrestricted, but may
be designated by the governing board for those purposes.
Moneys designated as matching
contributions should be maintained in the General Fund,
Unrestricted Subfund.
Circumstances and evidence relative to restrictions may not
always be clear. The district
should seek Chancellor’s Office, legal, and/or contracted
auditor consultation as needed.

Bond Interest and Redemption Fund (21)
Child Development Fund (33)
Redevelopment Fund (39)
Capital Projects Fund (41)
Measure L Bond Fund (42)
Bookstore Fund (51)
This fund is to be used only to record transactions related to the
receipt and expenditure of
local revenues derived from the property tax levied for the
payment of the principal and
interest on outstanding bonds of the district. The fund shall be
established and maintained in
the appropriate county treasury.
The Child Development Fund is the fund designated to account
for all revenues for, or from
the operation of, child care and development services, including
student fees for child
development services. Costs incurred in the operation and
maintenance of the child care
and development services are paid from this fund. This fund is
established and maintained
in the appropriate county treasury.
This fund is used to account for all other specific revenue
sources that are legally restricted
to expenditures for specified purposes that are not an integral
part of the district’s
instructional or administrative and support operation (e.g.,
dormitory replacement). This fund
may be established and maintained in the county treasury or, as
an alternative, the
governing board may establish a bank account with a financial
institution for each such fund
established.
The Capital Outlay Projects Fund is used to account for the
accumulation and expenditure
of moneys for the acquisition or construction of significant
capital outlay items, and
Scheduled Maintenance and Special Repairs (SMSR) projects.
The Capital Outlay Projects
Fund is used to account for the receipt and expenditure of
proceeds from the sale of district
bonds authorized pursuant to Education Code Section 15100 et
seq. In general, this fund
shall be established and maintained in the appropriate county
treasury and moneys shall be
used only for capital outlay purposes.
The Revenue Bond Construction Fund is used for acquisition or
construction. The Revenue
Bond Construction Fund is the fund designated in Education
Code Section 81961 for the
deposit of proceeds from the sale of all community college
revenue bonds authorized under
the provisions of Education Code Section 81901. Such deposits
are used to meet the costs
of acquisition or construction and all expenses of authorized
projects (i.e., dormitories or
other housing facilities, boarding facilities, student union or
student activity facilities, vehicle
parking facilities, or any other auxiliary or supplementary
facilities as authorized). Proceeds
from the sale of such bonds are deposited with the county
treasurer and, upon order of the
county auditor, credited to the district’s Revenue Bond
Construction Fund.
The Bookstore Fund is the fund designated to receive the
proceeds derived from the
district’s operation of a community college bookstore pursuant
to Education Code Section
81676 when it is the intent of the governing board to recover, in
whole or in part, the costs of
providing the services. All necessary expenses, including
salaries, wages, and cost of
capital improvement for the bookstore may be paid from
generated revenue.

Self Insurance Fund (61)
Associated Students Trust Fund (71)
Student Representation Fee Trust Fund (72)
Student Financial Aid Trust Fund (74)
Scholarship and Loan Trust Fund (75)
Other Trust Funds (79)
The Scholarship and Loan Trust Fund is used to account for
such gifts, donations,
bequests, and devises (subject to donor restrictions) which are
to be used for scholarships
or for grants in aid and loans to students. The Scholarship and
Loan Trust Fund may be
established and maintained in the country treasury.
Other Trust Funds are used to account for all other moneys held
in a trustee capacity by the
college or district for individuals, organizations, or clubs. Such
funds may be established and
maintained in the appropriate country treasury, or as an
alternative, the governing board
may establish a bank account for each trust.
The Cafeteria Fund is the fund designated to receive all moneys
from the sale of food or for
any other services performed by the cafeteria when it is the
intent of the governing board to
recover, in whole or in part, the costs of providing the services.
Costs incurred in the
operation and maintenance of such cafeteria are paid from this
fund. The term “cafeteria” as
used in this section is considered synonymous with the term
“food service.”
The Self-Insurance Fund is the fund designated by Education
Code Section 81602 to
account for income and expenditures of self-insurance programs
authorized by Education
Code Section 72506(d). This fund is maintained in the county
treasury and used to provide
for payments on deductible types of insurance policies, losses
or payments arising from self-
insurance programs, and losses or payments due to noninsured
perils.
The Associated Students Trust Fund is used to account for
moneys held in trust by the
district for organized student body associations (excluding
clubs) established pursuant to
Education Code Section 76060. The governing board must
provide for the supervision of all
moneys raised by any student body or student organization
using the name of the college.
The Student Representation Fee Trust Fund is used to account
for moneys collected
pursuant to Education Code Section 76060.5 that provides for a
student representation fee
of one dollar per semester if approved by two-thirds of the
students voting in the election.
The fee is to be expended to provide for the support of
governmental affairs
representatives who may be stating their positions and
viewpoints before city, county, and
district governments and before offices and agencies of the
State government. A student
may, for religious, political, financial or moral issues, refuse to
pay the student
representation fee. Fees collected shall be under the custody of
the district's chief fiscal
officer.
The Student Financial Aid Trust Fund is used to account for the
deposit and direct payment
of government-funded student financial aid, including grants
and loans or other moneys
intended for similar purposes and the required district matching
share of payments to
students. The Student Financial Aid Trust Fund may be
established and maintained in the
county treasury.

MEMORANDUM
To: Laramie County Community College Board of Trustees
From: Dr. Joe Schaffer, President
Date: March 28, 2012
RE: Proposed FY13 Budget
On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students at Laramie County
Community College (LCCC), it is my
pleasure to present you with our proposed budget for the
2012/2013 Fiscal Year. In the next few pages
of this memorandum, I want to share with you the broad context
in which we developed this budget, as
well as illustrating how it adheres to the parameters of our
social, fiscal, and political environments,
meets your expectations and priorities, and ultimately aligns
with your strategic plan and the direction
you provided me early in my tenure here at LCCC.
State Context
Over the past decade, the Wyoming state standard budget has
nearly doubled. In his budget proposal
1
,
Governor Matt Mead stated this rapid growth “needs to be
reversed and funding stabilized at a
sustainable level.” This is the same tenor in which the Joint
Appropriations Committee (JAC) took up
its work in mid-January. Unfortunately, as a result of projected
decreases in the price of natural gas, an
estimated decrease of $100 million in State revenue prompted
the Governor to recommend $64 million
in cuts to his original budget.
The Governor’s original budget proposed a relatively flat
standard budget for Wyoming’s community
colleges, as well as $14.4 million in enrollment growth funding.
As a result of the decreased revenue
estimates, he recommended the JAC reduce that amount to $8.8
million. The JAC completely
eliminated all enrollment growth funding in the budget it
advanced to the Legislature. However, the
Legislature restored $7.5 million of enrollment growth funding
in the budget bill it passed, which was
signed by the Governor.
Throughout and since the Legislature has convened, it has been
clear that the expectations have been to
hold the standard budget, and hold State-funded employee
salaries, with only modest allowances for
performance and market adjustments. Even with the restoration
of enrollment growth funding, the
Legislature’s expectations are that those resources should be
applied to the variable costs associated with
enrollment growth over the past years, and not pay raises or
salary adjustments.
Given the budget passed by the Legislature, and after
consideration for the tuition increases approved by
the Wyoming Community College Commission (WCCC), and
finally as a result of the workings of the
WCCC funding formula, we estimated LCCC will have
approximately $2 million in additional revenue
in FY13.

FY 2012-13 Operating Budget 5 April 4, 2012
Institutional Context
Shortly after I started at LCCC, I entered mid-stream into the
development of this budget. Fortunately,
the campus and its able staff were already building a budget that
was in line with the institutional
context. This was no small feat, given the multiple parameters
the institution was – and is – working
within. First, and probably least significant, was the transition
in the College’s presidential leadership.
Second was the institution’s strategic and campus master plans.
Third was the Organizational
Assessment and the recommendations provided from the College
Brain Trust (CBT). Finally, and
probably most significant, was the general direction from you,
the Trustees.
Since becoming part of the budget process, I have worked
closely with the College’s leadership to
ensure your priorities are incorporated into the proposed FY13
budget. My interpretation of these, and I
will admit some massaging of my own based on my first few
months on the ground at LCCC, has led us
to focus this budget on the following:
recommendations within the Organizational
Assessment;
structure at the College that addresses
the elements in the Organizational Assessment as well as
existing institutional challenges while
managing the human resources at LCCC;
projects identified as priorities in the
campus master plan;
the General Fund; and
resources to help the institution
navigate unanticipated opportunities and challenges in the near
future.
Although some of these priorities will take multiple fiscal years
and accompanying budgets to be fully
satisfied, I believe the proposed FY13 budget is a good start. In
the remainder of this memorandum I
will provide more specific examples to describe what is, and
what is not within this budget that may
substantiate this claim.
What is in the FY13 Budget
Included in this budget are numerous examples of how we have
addressed the broader state context, as
well as your priorities and our belief in what is needed to
advance LCCC into the future. Here are some
examples:
into instruction, human resources,
and targeted operations increases.

new faculty lines and moves three faculty positions off of soft
money onto the General Fund.

approximately 1% of the current operating
budget to ensure adequate resources are available should we
experience budget reductions, lower
than estimated enrollment, and/or strategic opportunities over
the coming year.

recommendation to improve planning, assessment, and

million of investments in facilities
projects across campus.
utilize campus recreational
facilities, engage in intramural sports, and more strongly
connect the College to the community
through recreation and athletics by investing in a full-time
athletic director position.
What isn’t in the FY13 Budget
It is evident there is much in the proposed FY13 budget that
will help move the College forward. But I
also want to point out what isn’t in the budget.
le we are proposing a modest amount for compensation
commitments awarded for
educational advancements, there are no pay increases for steps,
cost of living adjustments,
bonuses, or other compensation adjustments. We firmly believe
that to keep the taxpayers’ and
legislature’s trust in our campus, we must hold true to the
expectations they have set for other
State agencies and their employees. We value our people at
LCCC, but while others are
tightening their belts, we must do our part as well and show our
commitment to the State’s
position in this regard.
Student Services to continue our
improvement in this area, the proposed FY13 budget actually
proposes a decrease overall in this
area. This will help us prepare and work on planned
improvements over the coming year, and
will position the campus to make a strategic, and substantial
investment into Student Services as
the budget allows in coming fiscal years.
The Strategic Plan
We are committed to working toward the strategic directions
and goals identified within your Strategic
Plan for LCCC. I believe the proposed FY13 budget continues
to do just that. Many, if not most, of our
proposed reallocations and investments are targeted toward the
plan and should have significant impact
in helping us achieve the goals set forth within.
toward the achievement of many goals
associated with Strategic Direction 1: Maximize learning
opportunities that foster student
success.
subsequent improvements to
recreational and athletic programming will help us meet the
goals within Strategic Direction 2:
Engage the community through collaborations that are mutually
beneficial.
effectiveness and Strategic Direction 4:
Manage resources to support a dynamic organization by
establishing a continuous improvement
model through the creation of an office of Institutional
Effectiveness and hiring an associate vice
president who will integrate planning, assessment, and
information technology campus-wide.
FY 2012-13 Operating Budget 7 April 4, 2012
Strengthen the College through increased
collaboration and communication by investing in and
establishing a strong, centralized human
resources office and structure.
Conclusion
Under your guidance, leadership, and support, LCCC is making
good progress. We are fortunate to live
in a state and community that supports higher education both in
voice and in funding. The proposed
FY13 budget doesn’t do everything, but it does help us sustain,
and perhaps even accelerate, momentum
on the good work that we simply must do to better serve our
students and ultimately our community.
Our budgets are our value statements – say what we will, what
we believe in is evidenced by what we
invest in. I believe the proposed FY13 budget is an investment
in institutional effectiveness and student
success. I hope you will join me in that belief.

Introduction
Community colleges were created with the sole purpose of
providing an educational value to the students who could not
make it to university. Most community colleges were built
around a mission to allow those students that may not make it to
other primal facilities of higher learning (O'Banion, 2019). In as
far as the higher education system is concern in the United
States, Community Colleges have played a major part in serve
the greater part of the population. They are geared at providing
very intrinsic value to the business environment. Community
college enables students to acquire hands-on experience that
allows them to operate in a very versatile economic
environment. Some of the students that attend community
colleges do not have enough money because they may be from
disadvantaged backgrounds or fail to win a scholarship to
university.
Stakeholder roles
Internal stakeholders are faculty members, students, staff, the
board of trustees, and professors who form and implement the
students’ curriculum. These stakeholders are responsible for
formulating and designing the lesson plans and designing
frameworks that enable the overall learning to add value to the
student. To a greater extent community colleges have been able
to stay at par with other universities and colleges not only in the
United States, but also across the world. It is tailor-made to suit
specific needs in the job markets and allow the students to be
innovative and inventive within their learning capabilities. The
most immediate results are the ability to gain a competitive
edge in the workforce and also provide innovative solutions.
Other stakeholders are parents, business owners, and teachers.
External stakeholders include the state.
Funding model
There are various ways through which community colleges get
resources in the form of capital to facilitate their operations.
Community colleges get their most significant funding through
state funding. Budget allocation for higher learning by the state
dictates how much comprehensive community colleges get. It is
based on certain factors such as the economic state of the
country. There had been significant budget cuts after the global
recession to community colleges that compromised the quality
of education in the sector (Remington & Remington, 2012). The
second source is tuition revenue, which is also significant. The
local property tax revenue is also a source of funding for
community colleges. Community college facilities require a
high level of financial support to function effectively. Any
decline of the financing gravely affects the quality of education.
Curriculum and Programs
During the recession in 2008, most programs in community
colleges were shut down. Also, many facilities were
consolidated, and the faculty staff was reduced to fit the new
state funding allocations. These moves gravely affected the
curriculums and program, mostly offered at the colleges (Beach,
2011). Many students ended up with less quality of return on
their investment, and they struggled in the job markets. Besides,
the closure of some lab facilities affected how useful the
learning tools were and how applicable the theoretical
framework served the needs of the students. An increase in
funding from 2012 corrected this situation, but still more needs
to be done to ensure that students get their return on investment.
Personnel
Personnel in a community college also need to ensure that they
keenly follow up with students to identify the challenges that
they experience (Gaulee, 2018). The quality of personnel and
experience within a college has a significant impact in the
quality of education that the students receive from said
educational institution. Most university personnel are not
sensitive to the needs of the students and do not follow up with
the social and cultural needs of the students. For instance,
bullying in community colleges is very rampant, and prejudice
may make learning extremely difficult for some students. Some
students are parents, while others are of different family set-ups
or religions, and this results in stigmatization that needs to be
addressed by the colleges. Student affairs personnel may also be
well informed on the particular needs that are presented by the
students that require to be discussed further.
Novel needs in the business world
It is paramount for the funding in community colleges to be
tailor-made to the new age of technology. The use of artificial
intelligence in manufacturing and even in business has made it
very difficult for some skills to survive the job market. In
addressing this challenge over the next ten to twenty years,
curriculums should incorporate artificial intelligence even in
their learning. Community colleges should ensure that they can
adapt to the new needs of the business world, and the teaching
models should always be updated (Remington & Remington,
2012). This move aims to reduce redundancy in the job market
and to make sure that the students remain relevant.
Personalization and authenticity is another new evolution in the
business models. If one needs a specific product, nowadays they
are easily customizable to suit the needs of the customer. A
personalized touch is added to the product marketing model, and
therefore one-size-fits models cannot work for students at the
community colleges. The evolution of customer care is an
essential feature in marketing and should be incorporated within
the teaching models in the business. Awareness of the needs of
the business environment is critical. For instance, the
emergence of social media marketing and digital presence is
necessary for almost every business.
Physical locations are becoming less popular, and over time
everything will be accessible online.
Flexibility in learning is also a vital part when designing the
curriculum for the next twenty years. Flexibility addresses the
needs of models like distance learning. Flexibility is essential to
the learner because, as time goes on, the students have to define
a model within which they can work and study. Besides, it
accommodates students who are not physically able to attend
the class or have other location challenges. The curriculum
needs to accommodate all these needs of the student so that
learning becomes more appealing to the students. Education
delivery models have to adapt to these needs of the students.
Impacts
The most apparent impact of refusing to evolve into the new
world is redundancy. Redundancy is evident where college
students from community colleges fail to join the workforce and
remain unemployed for years after leaving college. It does not
make logical sense educating thousands of students who at the
end of the day will not be able to obtain permanent employment
and hence fend for themselves. Consequently, they may end up
in the field completely different from what they studied for in
school to survive. The students do not feel like their time in
college allowed them the opportunity to fend for themselves and
live a quality life. They end up viewing colleges as a waste of
time. They aspire to never take their children to such an
institution in the future. It is, therefore, going to affect the
overall mission and vision of the college in driving change and
impacting society.
Lack of innovation is another result of a lack of flexibility. The
workforce is very stretched out and requires some level of
innovation to adapt to economic versatilities. Community
college education models should develop skillsets within the
students that enable them to innovate where there is a gap in
their professional lives (Beach, 2011). The skill sets acquired
should provide up to date solutions fo0r the various sectors that
the students engage in and should ensure that they are
enlightened in problem-solving and deriving solutions.
Resultantly, the students remain relevant and are retained at
their places of work for longer.
Conclusion
Comprehensive community colleges play a huge role in society
and the impact on how culture thrives by providing relevant
education to students. Community colleges need to be
continuously updated by revising their curriculum often and
ensuring that the students get the maximum return on
investment. Some of the ways through which community
colleges obtain funding include state funding which is highly
dependent on the economic state the region the college is
located. Budget cuts and the most recent global recession have
had a significant impact in the funds allocated to community
colleges. The students must add value to the sectors in which
they serve and remain valuable. Funding should be geared
towards making sure that the changing nature of education is
made to suit the needs of the students as well as the business
models.

San Joaquin Delta Community Colle.docx

  • 1. San Joaquin Delta Community College District Office of Fiscal Services 5151 Pacific Avenue Stockton, CA 95207 TO: Board of Trustees Jeff Marsee Ph.D, Superintendent/President District Leadership FROM: Michael Hill, Administrative Consultant Raquel Puentes-Griffith, Controller
  • 2. SUBJECT: 2011-12 Adoption Budget The budget development process has been much smoother this year than last. As you will see from the presentation materials the changes from tentative to adoption are smaller in number and less dramatic than 2010-2011. This is a more typical pattern for the unrestricted general fund portion of the budget. The heavy lifting is normally done in preparation for the tentative budget. We do place added emphasis on the restricted funds moving from the tentative to adoption budgets. For the restricted funds there are no major surprises and with the effort made during this last year by the fiscal services staff and program managers the restricted funds budgets are cleaner and reflect more clearly the true status of programs. Regarding the unrestricted general fund we are pleased to report that there is some revenue improvement as a result of the state budget that was adopted but at the same time our estimate of the beginning fund balance turned out to be higher than the actual results. We will
  • 3. expand on these points in this memorandum. We also want to provide you with a sense of what the current circumstance means for the 2012-2013 fiscal year. It has been the district strategy to approach the state funding loss in a multi-year plan and the 2011-12 budget represents the first year of the plan. State Budget The state budget had to confront a shortfall of $26 billion. About $13 billion was addressed back in March through reduced funding of programs, the community colleges included. This became the best case scenario in the evaluative process. Facing more cuts to close the gap for the remaining $13 billion, extending taxes or a combination of both, the legislature and governor could not reach agreement on how to proceed. The process bogged down in the usual political way. The “May Revise” is that point where the state measures revenue flows and makes adjustments to the revenue estimates for the next year. When that measurement
  • 4. occurred it was determined that the revenue estimates could be increased which covered a portion of the $13 billion gap. In the final days of June to get the budget out the door the revenue estimates were increased further but because there was a sense the numbers were soft and unlikely to materialize, triggers were incorporated which would impose mid-year cuts. The trigger date for making the determination is December 15, 2011. The triggers are as follows: Tier 0 If between $3 and $4 billion of the new revenue materializes, no additional cuts beyond the best case will be needed. Tier 1 If the state only generates between $2 and $3 billion of the new revenue, then community colleges will lose $30 million of revenue and student fees will increase from $36 to $46 a unit. Tier 2
  • 5. If less than $2 billion of the new revenue is received, then community colleges (in addition to Tier 1 actions) will lose $72 million more in revenue. District’s Approach While at the time we prepared the tentative budget we did not have these details the District did adopt a strategy which is still consistent with the outcome of the final state budget. We assumed a revenue loss greater than the best case but targeted our FTES to achieve the best case in the event funding did come through at that level. Given the uncertainty of the state budget and the fact that we will not truly know what the budget is until the year is half over the present strategy is further affirmed. While this is good to know it still clouds our ability to have clear direction on what to do about the 2012- 2013 year. It appears we will need to make budget reductions for 2012-2013 but the ultimate dollar amount is in question. Further as we look at on- going expenses for step/column and health benefit cost increases the intense local budget pressure remains, absent any new revenues. The District is also mindful
  • 6. of potential items that have budget implications that are not included in 2011-12, but will have future budget planning implications and affect decisions on reduction levels. These are items such as implementing recommendations of a classification study, settlement of pending union salary issues and a possible STRS rate increase. The Change from Tentative to Adoption Budgets On the revenue side of the equation the state funding went up by about $1.3 million from the earlier estimates. Please note that the District is anticipating state apportionment at the Tier 2 level. If the final outcome is better, then clearly that will improve our revenue position. Based on the assessment from the Chancellor’s Office, we have also incorporated a .5% one-time deficit due to the anticipated shortfall in student fees. Apart from these items, several smaller adjustments to local revenue were made based on end-of-year final numbers for 2010-2011. Lottery revenue was also reduced due to the lower FTES levels in 2011-12. We did see a net increase in the expenditure budget due to the
  • 7. unrestricted Lottery funding decrease related to positions contained in the budget. There were some minor operational increases that had not been picked up when the tentative budget was completed. The administration has been working with the SERP results to establish what key operational positions needed to be replaced, which departments needed to be re-worked and those results are anticipated in the budget. One final piece of the expenditure budget has to do with incorporating carryovers. These are items that add to the expense budget but cannot be determined until the books are closed. The prime example is faculty travel which is governed by the CTA union contract. There are some other carryovers as well but this one is the most significant. Up until a year ago, carryovers were a major problem for managing and controlling the District budget. They totaled as much as $1.7 million in a recent fiscal year. This made budget management and projections extremely difficult. Today automatic carryovers are no longer the expectation and approved carryovers are more in line with what
  • 8. they should be. The estimate of the beginning balance at the time of the tentative budget was $15.4 million. This estimate seemed to be solid and on target for a number of months. Even as the District moved toward the end of the year the data supported that number. Because this is the first year the District is using new tools to manage and evaluate the budget, there was no history on what to expect at year end. June is the catch up month for transactions since it closes out the year. There was much greater activity than was expected and some costs came in higher than anticipated. As a result instead of a fund balance of $15.4 million, the fund balance is $13.2 million. For next year, the District will have a better understanding of the “June dynamic” and anticipate these costs in the modeling. Further, some of the costs categories contributing to the affect on fund balance are not expected to do so next year. Looking Forward The state’s financial situation is not as dire as it was but still contains substantial structural problems. The
  • 9. national economic circumstance suggests that California will not see a rapid return to prosperity. This larger picture makes planning for the next couple of years more difficult. Add to that our own internal cost pressures and we see tough budget times at least in the short term. The District’s fund balance while not at the level we had anticipated is still very strong and needs to be as we wrestle with the financial issues confronting us. We need to begin now planning for the 2012-2013 year even though we lack detailed information about our funding. The greater control we exercise over our fate, the better the outcome. As you will see from the multi-year model, there may still be some tough decisions ahead. The Half-full Perspective The Delta College community worked together to put in place a reasonable, yet very lean budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year. The District will continue to provide educational opportunity to more students than the state will support, in spite of the fiscal downturn. This budget demonstrated compassion in the way
  • 10. staff reduction goals were achieved. The District has a strong financial position to take on the next battering wave of the financial storm and there is still continuity and integrity in the educational programs of the District. The strong financial position must be protected through constant monitoring, exercising financial prudence and with support of the collective college community. The District in its approach to building this budget avoided hysteria and demonstrated a quiet strength and resolve which goes a very long way in producing confidence and support for the needed operational actions.

The District will develop an FTES target for 2011-12 closer to the “Best Case” to protect potential revenue enhancement. The target will be 15,000 funded FTES. The budget anticipates mitigation of the deficit created by the

The General Fund is the primary operating fund of the district.
  • 20. It is used to account for those transactions that, in general, cover the full scope of operations of the district (instruction, administration, student services, maintenance and operations, etc.). All transactions shall be accounted for in the General Fund unless there is a compelling reason (e.g., legal or contractual requirement) to report them in another fund. Revenues received by or for a community college district from State apportionments or county or local taxes (other than moneys required to be placed in another fund) shall be deposited in the General Fund of the district. For purposes of flexibility, the district may establish any number of subfunds or accounts to constitute its General Fund; however, for financial reporting, these must be consolidated into either the Unrestricted Subfund (11) or Restricted Subfund (12). Division of the General Fund into two subfunds reflects the need to differentiate truly discretionary revenue from restricted revenue, while preserving a complete accounting of the financial operation and
  • 21. support of educational programs. Accordingly, restricted revenues (such as those for categorically-funded programs) are accounted separately from other general purpose moneys, but classified as a component of the total fund that provides instructional and support services. The General Fund is held in the treasury of the county having jurisdiction over the community college district. The Restricted Subfund is used to account for resources available for the operation and support of the educational programs that are specifically restricted by laws, regulations, donors, or other outside agencies as to their expenditure. Such externally imposed restrictions are to be contrasted with internally created designations imposed by the governing board on unrestricted moneys. In general, unrestricted moneys can be used for any legal purpose deemed necessary. Restricted moneys are from an external source that requires the moneys be used for specific purpose(s). Moneys such as matching contributions for categorical
  • 22. programs are unrestricted, but may be designated by the governing board for those purposes. Moneys designated as matching contributions should be maintained in the General Fund, Unrestricted Subfund. Circumstances and evidence relative to restrictions may not always be clear. The district should seek Chancellor’s Office, legal, and/or contracted auditor consultation as needed. Attachment 7 Bond Interest and Redemption Fund (21) Child Development Fund (33) Redevelopment Fund (39) Capital Projects Fund (41) Measure L Bond Fund (42) Bookstore Fund (51) This fund is to be used only to record transactions related to the receipt and expenditure of local revenues derived from the property tax levied for the payment of the principal and
  • 23. interest on outstanding bonds of the district. The fund shall be established and maintained in the appropriate county treasury. The Child Development Fund is the fund designated to account for all revenues for, or from the operation of, child care and development services, including student fees for child development services. Costs incurred in the operation and maintenance of the child care and development services are paid from this fund. This fund is established and maintained in the appropriate county treasury. This fund is used to account for all other specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes that are not an integral part of the district’s instructional or administrative and support operation (e.g., dormitory replacement). This fund may be established and maintained in the county treasury or, as an alternative, the governing board may establish a bank account with a financial institution for each such fund established.
  • 24. The Capital Outlay Projects Fund is used to account for the accumulation and expenditure of moneys for the acquisition or construction of significant capital outlay items, and Scheduled Maintenance and Special Repairs (SMSR) projects. The Capital Outlay Projects Fund is used to account for the receipt and expenditure of proceeds from the sale of district bonds authorized pursuant to Education Code Section 15100 et seq. In general, this fund shall be established and maintained in the appropriate county treasury and moneys shall be used only for capital outlay purposes. The Revenue Bond Construction Fund is used for acquisition or construction. The Revenue Bond Construction Fund is the fund designated in Education Code Section 81961 for the deposit of proceeds from the sale of all community college revenue bonds authorized under the provisions of Education Code Section 81901. Such deposits are used to meet the costs of acquisition or construction and all expenses of authorized projects (i.e., dormitories or other housing facilities, boarding facilities, student union or
  • 25. student activity facilities, vehicle parking facilities, or any other auxiliary or supplementary facilities as authorized). Proceeds from the sale of such bonds are deposited with the county treasurer and, upon order of the county auditor, credited to the district’s Revenue Bond Construction Fund. The Bookstore Fund is the fund designated to receive the proceeds derived from the district’s operation of a community college bookstore pursuant to Education Code Section 81676 when it is the intent of the governing board to recover, in whole or in part, the costs of providing the services. All necessary expenses, including salaries, wages, and cost of capital improvement for the bookstore may be paid from generated revenue. Attachment 7 Food Service Fund (52) Self Insurance Fund (61) Associated Students Trust Fund (71)
  • 26. Student Representation Fee Trust Fund (72) Student Financial Aid Trust Fund (74) Scholarship and Loan Trust Fund (75) Other Trust Funds (79) The Scholarship and Loan Trust Fund is used to account for such gifts, donations, bequests, and devises (subject to donor restrictions) which are to be used for scholarships or for grants in aid and loans to students. The Scholarship and Loan Trust Fund may be established and maintained in the country treasury. Other Trust Funds are used to account for all other moneys held in a trustee capacity by the college or district for individuals, organizations, or clubs. Such funds may be established and maintained in the appropriate country treasury, or as an alternative, the governing board may establish a bank account for each trust. The Cafeteria Fund is the fund designated to receive all moneys from the sale of food or for any other services performed by the cafeteria when it is the intent of the governing board to
  • 27. recover, in whole or in part, the costs of providing the services. Costs incurred in the operation and maintenance of such cafeteria are paid from this fund. The term “cafeteria” as used in this section is considered synonymous with the term “food service.” The Self-Insurance Fund is the fund designated by Education Code Section 81602 to account for income and expenditures of self-insurance programs authorized by Education Code Section 72506(d). This fund is maintained in the county treasury and used to provide for payments on deductible types of insurance policies, losses or payments arising from self- insurance programs, and losses or payments due to noninsured perils. The Associated Students Trust Fund is used to account for moneys held in trust by the district for organized student body associations (excluding clubs) established pursuant to Education Code Section 76060. The governing board must provide for the supervision of all moneys raised by any student body or student organization using the name of the college.
  • 28. The Student Representation Fee Trust Fund is used to account for moneys collected pursuant to Education Code Section 76060.5 that provides for a student representation fee of one dollar per semester if approved by two-thirds of the students voting in the election. The fee is to be expended to provide for the support of governmental affairs representatives who may be stating their positions and viewpoints before city, county, and district governments and before offices and agencies of the State government. A student may, for religious, political, financial or moral issues, refuse to pay the student representation fee. Fees collected shall be under the custody of the district's chief fiscal officer. The Student Financial Aid Trust Fund is used to account for the deposit and direct payment of government-funded student financial aid, including grants and loans or other moneys intended for similar purposes and the required district matching share of payments to students. The Student Financial Aid Trust Fund may be

  • 42. FY 2012-13 Operating Budget 4 April 4, 2012 MEMORANDUM To: Laramie County Community College Board of Trustees From: Dr. Joe Schaffer, President Date: March 28, 2012 RE: Proposed FY13 Budget On behalf of the faculty, staff, and students at Laramie County Community College (LCCC), it is my pleasure to present you with our proposed budget for the 2012/2013 Fiscal Year. In the next few pages of this memorandum, I want to share with you the broad context in which we developed this budget, as well as illustrating how it adheres to the parameters of our social, fiscal, and political environments, meets your expectations and priorities, and ultimately aligns with your strategic plan and the direction
  • 43. you provided me early in my tenure here at LCCC. State Context Over the past decade, the Wyoming state standard budget has nearly doubled. In his budget proposal 1 , Governor Matt Mead stated this rapid growth “needs to be reversed and funding stabilized at a sustainable level.” This is the same tenor in which the Joint Appropriations Committee (JAC) took up its work in mid-January. Unfortunately, as a result of projected decreases in the price of natural gas, an estimated decrease of $100 million in State revenue prompted the Governor to recommend $64 million in cuts to his original budget. The Governor’s original budget proposed a relatively flat standard budget for Wyoming’s community colleges, as well as $14.4 million in enrollment growth funding. As a result of the decreased revenue estimates, he recommended the JAC reduce that amount to $8.8 million. The JAC completely eliminated all enrollment growth funding in the budget it
  • 44. advanced to the Legislature. However, the Legislature restored $7.5 million of enrollment growth funding in the budget bill it passed, which was signed by the Governor. Throughout and since the Legislature has convened, it has been clear that the expectations have been to hold the standard budget, and hold State-funded employee salaries, with only modest allowances for performance and market adjustments. Even with the restoration of enrollment growth funding, the Legislature’s expectations are that those resources should be applied to the variable costs associated with enrollment growth over the past years, and not pay raises or salary adjustments. Given the budget passed by the Legislature, and after consideration for the tuition increases approved by the Wyoming Community College Commission (WCCC), and finally as a result of the workings of the WCCC funding formula, we estimated LCCC will have approximately $2 million in additional revenue in FY13.

Fortunately, the campus and its able staff were already building a budget that was in line with the institutional context. This was no small feat, given the multiple parameters the institution was – and is – working within. First, and probably least significant, was the transition in the College’s presidential leadership. Second was the institution’s strategic and campus master plans. Third was the Organizational Assessment and the recommendations provided from the College Brain Trust (CBT). Finally, and probably most significant, was the general direction from you,
  • 46. the Trustees. Since becoming part of the budget process, I have worked closely with the College’s leadership to ensure your priorities are incorporated into the proposed FY13 budget. My interpretation of these, and I will admit some massaging of my own based on my first few months on the ground at LCCC, has led us to focus this budget on the following: recommendations within the Organizational Assessment; structure at the College that addresses the elements in the Organizational Assessment as well as existing institutional challenges while managing the human resources at LCCC; projects identified as priorities in the campus master plan; the General Fund; and resources to help the institution
  • 47. navigate unanticipated opportunities and challenges in the near future. Although some of these priorities will take multiple fiscal years and accompanying budgets to be fully satisfied, I believe the proposed FY13 budget is a good start. In the remainder of this memorandum I will provide more specific examples to describe what is, and what is not within this budget that may substantiate this claim. What is in the FY13 Budget Included in this budget are numerous examples of how we have addressed the broader state context, as well as your priorities and our belief in what is needed to advance LCCC into the future. Here are some examples: into instruction, human resources, and targeted operations increases. budget includes the addition of five new faculty lines and moves three faculty positions off of soft money onto the General Fund. man

What isn’t in the FY13 Budget It is evident there is much in the proposed FY13 budget that will help move the College forward. But I also want to point out what isn’t in the budget. le we are proposing a modest amount for compensation commitments awarded for educational advancements, there are no pay increases for steps, cost of living adjustments, bonuses, or other compensation adjustments. We firmly believe that to keep the taxpayers’ and legislature’s trust in our campus, we must hold true to the expectations they have set for other State agencies and their employees. We value our people at LCCC, but while others are

Student Services to continue our improvement in this area, the proposed FY13 budget actually proposes a decrease overall in this area. This will help us prepare and work on planned improvements over the coming year, and will position the campus to make a strategic, and substantial investment into Student Services as the budget allows in coming fiscal years. The Strategic Plan We are committed to working toward the strategic directions and goals identified within your Strategic Plan for LCCC. I believe the proposed FY13 budget continues to do just that. Many, if not most, of our proposed reallocations and investments are targeted toward the plan and should have significant impact in helping us achieve the goals set forth within. toward the achievement of many goals associated with Strategic Direction 1: Maximize learning

FY 2012-13 Operating Budget 7 April 4, 2012 Strengthen the College through increased collaboration and communication by investing in and establishing a strong, centralized human resources office and structure.
  • 52. Conclusion Under your guidance, leadership, and support, LCCC is making good progress. We are fortunate to live in a state and community that supports higher education both in voice and in funding. The proposed FY13 budget doesn’t do everything, but it does help us sustain, and perhaps even accelerate, momentum on the good work that we simply must do to better serve our students and ultimately our community. Our budgets are our value statements – say what we will, what we believe in is evidenced by what we invest in. I believe the proposed FY13 budget is an investment in institutional effectiveness and student success. I hope you will join me in that belief. FY 2012-13 Operating Budget 8 April 4, 2012

  • 85. Evolving Needs of Community College Students Evolving Needs of Community College Students Introduction Community colleges were created with the sole purpose of providing an educational value to the students who could not make it to university. Most community colleges were built around a mission to allow those students that may not make it to other primal facilities of higher learning (O'Banion, 2019). In as far as the higher education system is concern in the United States, Community Colleges have played a major part in serve the greater part of the population. They are geared at providing very intrinsic value to the business environment. Community college enables students to acquire hands-on experience that allows them to operate in a very versatile economic environment. Some of the students that attend community colleges do not have enough money because they may be from disadvantaged backgrounds or fail to win a scholarship to university. Stakeholder roles Internal stakeholders are faculty members, students, staff, the board of trustees, and professors who form and implement the students’ curriculum. These stakeholders are responsible for formulating and designing the lesson plans and designing frameworks that enable the overall learning to add value to the student. To a greater extent community colleges have been able
  • 86. to stay at par with other universities and colleges not only in the United States, but also across the world. It is tailor-made to suit specific needs in the job markets and allow the students to be innovative and inventive within their learning capabilities. The most immediate results are the ability to gain a competitive edge in the workforce and also provide innovative solutions. Other stakeholders are parents, business owners, and teachers. External stakeholders include the state. Funding model There are various ways through which community colleges get resources in the form of capital to facilitate their operations. Community colleges get their most significant funding through state funding. Budget allocation for higher learning by the state dictates how much comprehensive community colleges get. It is based on certain factors such as the economic state of the country. There had been significant budget cuts after the global recession to community colleges that compromised the quality of education in the sector (Remington & Remington, 2012). The second source is tuition revenue, which is also significant. The local property tax revenue is also a source of funding for community colleges. Community college facilities require a high level of financial support to function effectively. Any decline of the financing gravely affects the quality of education. Curriculum and Programs During the recession in 2008, most programs in community colleges were shut down. Also, many facilities were consolidated, and the faculty staff was reduced to fit the new state funding allocations. These moves gravely affected the curriculums and program, mostly offered at the colleges (Beach, 2011). Many students ended up with less quality of return on their investment, and they struggled in the job markets. Besides, the closure of some lab facilities affected how useful the learning tools were and how applicable the theoretical framework served the needs of the students. An increase in funding from 2012 corrected this situation, but still more needs to be done to ensure that students get their return on investment.
  • 87. Personnel Personnel in a community college also need to ensure that they keenly follow up with students to identify the challenges that they experience (Gaulee, 2018). The quality of personnel and experience within a college has a significant impact in the quality of education that the students receive from said educational institution. Most university personnel are not sensitive to the needs of the students and do not follow up with the social and cultural needs of the students. For instance, bullying in community colleges is very rampant, and prejudice may make learning extremely difficult for some students. Some students are parents, while others are of different family set-ups or religions, and this results in stigmatization that needs to be addressed by the colleges. Student affairs personnel may also be well informed on the particular needs that are presented by the students that require to be discussed further. Novel needs in the business world It is paramount for the funding in community colleges to be tailor-made to the new age of technology. The use of artificial intelligence in manufacturing and even in business has made it very difficult for some skills to survive the job market. In addressing this challenge over the next ten to twenty years, curriculums should incorporate artificial intelligence even in their learning. Community colleges should ensure that they can adapt to the new needs of the business world, and the teaching models should always be updated (Remington & Remington, 2012). This move aims to reduce redundancy in the job market and to make sure that the students remain relevant. Personalization and authenticity is another new evolution in the business models. If one needs a specific product, nowadays they are easily customizable to suit the needs of the customer. A personalized touch is added to the product marketing model, and therefore one-size-fits models cannot work for students at the community colleges. The evolution of customer care is an essential feature in marketing and should be incorporated within the teaching models in the business. Awareness of the needs of

Physical locations are becoming less popular, and over time everything will be accessible online. Flexibility in learning is also a vital part when designing the curriculum for the next twenty years. Flexibility addresses the needs of models like distance learning. Flexibility is essential to the learner because, as time goes on, the students have to define a model within which they can work and study. Besides, it accommodates students who are not physically able to attend the class or have other location challenges. The curriculum needs to accommodate all these needs of the student so that learning becomes more appealing to the students. Education delivery models have to adapt to these needs of the students. Impacts The most apparent impact of refusing to evolve into the new world is redundancy. Redundancy is evident where college students from community colleges fail to join the workforce and remain unemployed for years after leaving college. It does not make logical sense educating thousands of students who at the end of the day will not be able to obtain permanent employment and hence fend for themselves. Consequently, they may end up in the field completely different from what they studied for in school to survive. The students do not feel like their time in college allowed them the opportunity to fend for themselves and live a quality life. They end up viewing colleges as a waste of time. They aspire to never take their children to such an institution in the future. It is, therefore, going to affect the overall mission and vision of the college in driving change and impacting society. Lack of innovation is another result of a lack of flexibility. The workforce is very stretched out and requires some level of innovation to adapt to economic versatilities. Community college education models should develop skillsets within the students that enable them to innovate where there is a gap in

The skill sets acquired should provide up to date solutions fo0r the various sectors that the students engage in and should ensure that they are enlightened in problem-solving and deriving solutions. Resultantly, the students remain relevant and are retained at their places of work for longer. Conclusion Comprehensive community colleges play a huge role in society and the impact on how culture thrives by providing relevant education to students. Community colleges need to be continuously updated by revising their curriculum often and ensuring that the students get the maximum return on investment. Some of the ways through which community colleges obtain funding include state funding which is highly dependent on the economic state the region the college is located. Budget cuts and the most recent global recession have had a significant impact in the funds allocated to community colleges. The students must add value to the sectors in which they serve and remain valuable. Funding should be geared towards making sure that the changing nature of education is made to suit the needs of the students as well as the business models. References Beach, J. M. (2011).
