Data IssuesData Issues

Only the most recent three years of data provide a consistent time-series 1999/2000, 2000/2001, 2001/2002

Districts and Colleges do not report data in the same fields and do not use the same definitions

Several events affect the times series like transfer of programs from district to college, new state requirements, etc. This makes it very difficult to track program

changes over time.

Survey Results – Survey Results – On performance fundingOn performance funding

• Focus on high wage/high skill occupations with higher placement rates

• Some may only consider programs that are on the high wage, high skill list

• Increased completion and placement rates• Elimination of programs with low

completion rates and low enrollments• Greater emphasis on accuracy of data

collection• Increased emphasis on credentials other

than full degrees• Approve of the use of LCPs to track

progress in adult education (however, funding is inadequate in some cases).

Survey Results – Survey Results – Problems with Current Formula Problems with Current Formula

• Current workforce formula does not support program expansion or the development of high demand, but high cost programs. Access to health care programs is a very specific problem with the current funding.

• Lack of funding for enrollment growth• Programs leading to lower wage

employment but with high local need may be sacrificed for high wage, high skill training programs.

• Lack of real time data to evaluate programs since the data used is 2-3 years old

• In adult education, reductions in student contact hours

Survey Results – Survey Results – Problems with Current Formula Problems with Current Formula

• Two issues not addressed in current funding formula for AS programs: students who complete a “chunk” of a program and leave, and AA majors in AS classes

• Lack of a fixed-dollar value -if a program earns "X" points, then it should be funded for "X" completion points.

• A few respondents said the current funding formula would be adequate if funded appropriately.

Survey Results – Survey Results – Responses to Current Problems Responses to Current Problems

with Funding with Funding • Aggressive grant writing• Increased class sizes• Waiting lists for programs, application

deadlines• Limited staff development• Held the number of programs constant• Use of more adjunct faculty, if available• Increased reliance on federal Perkins funding• Program closings – faculty and staff layoffs• Reduced support services• Deferred equipment purchases

performance accountability systemperformance accountability system

Requires the State Board of Education must provide that at least 10 percent of the state funds appropriated for the K-20 education system are conditional upon meeting or exceeding established performance standards.

December 1, 2004 deadline for the DOE to recommend a formula for performance-based funding that applies accountability standards for the individual components of the public education system at every level, kindergarten through graduate school.

After the 2004-2005 fiscal year, performance-based funds shall be allocated based on the progress, rewards, and sanctions established pursuant to this section.

Funding PrinciplesFunding Principles Be based on state goals for postsecondary

education. Be sensitive to different missions. Provide adequate funding. Provide incentives for or reward performance. Appropriately recognize size-to-cost

relationships. Be responsive to changing demands. Provide reasonably stable funding. Be simple to understand. Fund equitably. Use valid, reliable data. Allow administrative flexibility in spending funds.Source: Adapted from “A Primer on Funding of Public Higher Education,” Joseph L. Marks and J. Kent Caruthers (1999)

Funding Methodology Funding Methodology RequirementsRequirements

Provide long-term stability, reward program performance, accommodate program growth

Additional Goals Emphasize the development of skills in

high wage, high skill occupations Encourage and reward K-20 partnerships
