Update on Perkins/Strong Workforce Allocations –

Bdzil displayed the Strong Workforce Program (SWP) Local Share budget request spreadsheet for 2017-18 and gave an overview of the departments' proposed expenditures.

Bdzil, Nguyen and Ranck met last week to review the SWP and Perkins fund budget requests. The Instructional deans were requested to review and confirm their SWP requests and verify if proposed expenditures were listed on their most recent Annual Program Review Updates (APRUs). If requested items were omitted, programs should document this and plan to incorporated these items on their 2017-18 APRUs.

The SWP 2017-18 Local Share requests exceed the budgeted amount of $1,299,626. As a result, some of the approved and allowable SWP 2017-18 Local Share expenditures can be redirected to SWP 2017-18 Regional Share or Perkins 2017-18. De Anza College's SWP 2017-18 Regional Share allocation is $714,773. A suggestion was made to move some departments' SWP 2017-18 Local Share requests over to Perkins IC, provided that they are for allowable instructional materials and equipment purchases and do not violate the three-year limit on funding a single activity.

The 2017-18 Perkins IC allocation needs to be spent by June 30, 2018.

The SWP 2016-17 allocation (Phase I) must be spent by December 31, 2018.

The SWP 2017-18 allocation (Phase II) must be spent by December 31, 2019.

Bdzil will gather more information and present revised SWP 2017-18 Local and Regional Share budget allocations at the next IPBT meeting for review and discussion.
