Also, please visit the District's FAQ Web Site for more information 1320 - Part Time Faculty Board of Trustees Presentations Fees - Non-resident Tuition Revenue and Distribution of Expenses TimelinesThe 1320 acronym simply reflects the account object code used to pay part time faculty. So whenever you hear 1320, just substitute part time faculty teaching costs and it will be the same designation. The importance of the 1320 budget is that the scheduling and enrollment management changes each quarter are managed by adjusting the part time faculty assignments in the numerous academic departments to respond to student demand for classes. As demand increases more part time faculty are hired to teach the classes, conversely, when demand softens fewer part time faculty are hired to teach in that academic department.

Oftentimes employees ask why we cannot use Measure C and E (bond) money to solve budget shortfalls. The bond money is restricted by law to only be used for capital outlay projects and the incidental costs of professionals devoted to the implementation of those capital outlay projects. These projects are paid for by bonds, which are sold by the district to raise money for designated capital projects and paid back by the taxpayers of our district over a (roughly) 30 year time period. Consequently, these dollars cannot be used to pay any operating expenses. The Citizens Bond Oversight Committee meets on a regular basis to ensure that all expenditures for bond projects meet the legal state and local requirements for expenditures of these bond monies.

De Anza College has been the sponsor of a Statewide Job training program known as Job Corps. This program was constructed to provide job training at a number of different sites in the State. The faculty were hired as part time faculty through De Anza, the students received academic credit, an administrative fee was paid to a vendor for coordinating the program, providing equipment, facilities and supplies, and the college received apportionment money to fund the program. A recent internal review by the college determined that the new state guidelines would not allow this type of program to continue. Consequently, the program was discontinued at almost all of the sites effective in the Winter Quarter 2009.

It is always useful to remind ourselves that we are absolutely dependent on FTES (enrollment) for our revenue. You will see from the attached chart that 99% of our general fund revenue is generated by FTES. That is why there is so much emphasis on FTES. The pie chart on expenses displays the breakdown of categories of expense, but highlights that 84% of the district expenses are used for salaries and benefits of employees.
