• Federal funds short
• Health & human services

FHDA Budget Scenario Summary 2012-13

Letha shared Bernata’s adjusted projections

Although De Anza’s enrollment was flat compared to the same time last year, Foothill’s enrollment was down approx. 7%. This means the Colleges will be chasing WSCH in Spring in the high demand areas. No dramatic enrollment fluctuations are anticipated in Fall 2012.

There are plans for the carryover funds but the use of these funds is constantly under close review.

There are some grant-funded positions being eliminated at the end of the FY 2011-12 year because the grants are expiring.

3) Measure C FF&E Status Update

All the requests have been uploaded to the web site http://www.deanza.edu/gov/campus_budget/FFERequests.html

Currently underway:

1) Measure C FF&E review of requests for eligibility of Measure C funding sources (complete by end January).

Next Steps:

2) Remaining requests will be prioritized by the PBTs. Prioritization should be complete by 2/10/12. Please click here to download the PBTs FF&E Evaluation Matrix.

3) Institutional review and prioritization will be performed by joint meetings of Campus Budget and Technology Task Force.

4) CBT & TTF will give recommendations to College Council on 3/8/12 or 3/22/12 depending on progress.
