TITLE: Actions Adopted by the Board of Governors of the
California Community Colleges.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1979
NOTE: 10 p.
ABSTRACT: In April 1979, the Board of Governors took a
number of actions related to community college financing.
They adopted principles of accountability which offered
guidelines for: a planning and evaluation process;
measurable statewide educational objectives; annually
updated district plans to describe all program changes,
district objectives, budgets, and evaluation procedures;
reconciling district/state differences; minimizing the
financial burden of the accountability process; and
changing
the Education Code. Principles related to resources
provided: that salary-setting procedures be maintained;
that
affirmative action and seniority be considered in
retrenchment; for a flexible calendar project; for a
reduction in the minimum number of days of instruction; for
a review of individualized instruction restrictions; and
for
encouragement of outreach centers, community resources, and
a variety of instructional techniques. Principles--adopted
with regard to sources of support--rejected tuition,
maintained existing student fees, and eliminated
restrictions on certain funding balances. Other principles
offered alternatives to average daily attendance as a
support technique. In addition, the Board approved 11
distribution policies for Vocational Education Act funds
and
a procedure for Extended Opportunity Programs and Services
(EOPS) allocation. Finally, a priority criteria was adopted
for capital outlay projects in 1980-81. (AYC)
