2013-14 Governor's Budget Summary (pdf)
CCC Chancellor's Office Press Release (web page)
Enrollment is down 712 FTES districtwide. De Anza is flat for winter 2013. F/H is down. Summer and Fall 2012 both campuses were down. The State provides $4565 per FTES. We have 3 years to make up the lost 712 FTES, including this 2012-13 academic year. This equals approx. $3.5 million in revenue. If the district cannot increase enrollment within the allowable time frame this will become a permanent funding reduction.
Annual FHDA ongoing costs. $1-2 million (step/column/benefits/utilities, etc.)
No COLA for 4 years really hurts the budget. Historically it is used to offset annual FHDA ongoing expenses, to restore B Budgets, and for salary increases.
A loss of $3.5 million in enrollment revenue would increase our deficit to between $4-5 million.
The deferment of State funding costs the district approx. $1 million in lost interest income.
The economy has not recovered jobs to 2007 levels yet. It's only projected to do so in 2014.
14 vacant De Anza faculty positions are being eliminated. However, the campus will be hiring faculty in key departments to maintain FON.
Here are the major components of the proposed 2013-14 budget for community colleges:
- No change in student fees.
- $196.9 million (3.6%) for increased apportionments, without specifying the use. There will be a discussion about the balance of access/restoration and quality through the budget process.
- $179 million for deferral buydown, reducing borrowing needs of community college districts. This reduces the outstanding deferral to $622 million.
- $133.2 million in increased General Fund in 2013-14 to recognize that anticipated redevelopment revenues are not materializing. In 2012-13, the Administration is proposing $47.8 million to offset proposed redevelopment shortfall, which will likely leave districts with a significant current year deficit.
- $16.9 million to provide increased access to matriculated students through the use of technology.
- Change the census-based apportionment system to provide a larger apportionment amount to students who are still enrolled at the end of the semester/quarter.
- Limit state-supported instruction in community colleges to 90 units. Units beyond the cap would be not be state supported, but available at full cost to the student.
- Require all students seeking a BOG Fee Waiver to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
- Shift of the remaining adult education program, including $300 million, from K-12 schools to community colleges, and an additional $15.7 million from the K-12 apprenticeship program to community college apprenticeship programs.
- Creation of a $450 million energy efficiency fund for schools and community colleges using funds from Proposition 39 (counts toward Proposition 98 guarantee), with $49.5 million for community college projects.
