Dear Colleagues,
Good morning. Governor Jerry Brown just released the May Revision to his proposed 2014-15 State Budget, and the spending plan builds on the solid budget proposal for community colleges
released in January.
Here are the major community college items, with changes from January identified

The revised budget makes technical adjustments for property tax (+17.7m general fund)
and student fee revenues (+24.7m general fund), and continues the plan to pay off
all remaining apportionment deferrals. Student fees would remain at $46 per credit
unit. The summary also proposes to increase the enhanced noncredit funding rate to
the credit rate beginning in 2015-16, a significant win for our advocacy.
We'll continue to dive into the details as they become available and will share more
shortly.
Sincerely,
Scott Lay
President and Chief Executive Officer, The League
Orange Coast College '94
