Equity for All! BEdA Students BEdA Faculty BEdA Programming CBO Integration Guided Pathways & Funding

Approved June 2016 SBCTC Allocation Model State Funds Determines College/District Base Enrollment Allocations (enrollment targets adjusted annually based on the comparison of the 3-year average of actual enrollments to the 3-year average target) Determines Minimum Operating Allocation (MOA) $2.85 Million/Campus/District Allocates 5% Performance Share for SAI Weights Priority Enrollments (30%) All BEdA enrollments All applied baccalaureate programs STEM courses designed for STEM majors or transfers Workforce high demand courses identified as contributing to degrees needed to meet skills gaps identified in the Joint Study on A Skilled and Educated Workforce

Allocation Model Reminder College Providers: The Enrollment Enhancement Earmarked dollars received each fall will no longer be allocated to college providers. The idea is that the 1.3 weighting in the allocation formula is more significant than the small amount of tuition backfill.   Both the weighting and elimination of the basic skills enhancement earmark are to happen beginning July 1, 2016. CBO Providers: As CBOs do not receive SBCTC state allocations beyond the enhancement funds, they will continue to receive their earmarked funds in the fall. These funds will be renamed “State Match - Federal Basic Education Grant.”

A Call to action! Work with Administration to consider a plan of Action Ensure this is a focus of action plans and work plans Remind individuals at every opportunity

DOL’s Vision for One-Stops The National Vision is that One-Stops are not just Workforce anymore but an integrated service that is shared. One-stops should not be a referral system but can actually serve individuals in the location they enter. Robert Knight, Adult Services and Workforce System, DOL An integrated system that leverages resources Has integrated management systems Workforce side is funded to provide jobs skills training Everyone who walks into the One-Stop needs to be counted and put into the system

The Basic Education for Adults Vision for One-Stops Washington State One-Stops have integrated staff and co-located services whenever and wherever possible that move every individual to the Tipping Point and living wage jobs in the shortest time possible. Workforce, education, and training work with each individual to develop a career plan that gets them to a living wage job, life-sustaining skills, and meets the needs of the workforce Career plans identify work and education goals as both long-term and short-term goals. Employment and education happen together whenever possible

Infrastructure Funding Agreement (IFA) Update Ultimate goal is consensus SeaKing, Snohomish, PacMtn, Olympic, Spokane, Workforce Southwest Washington, and Eastern WDC regions Agnes Balassa contracted to develop a common template and approach to developing system budgets PacMtn Region’s plan to move forward A guidance figure: 1.5% of total federal funds Non-cash contributions: Expenditures incurred by One-Stop partners on behalf of the One-Stop center; and Must be valued consistent with 2 CFR 200.306 to ensure they are valued fairly evaluated and met the partner’s proportionate share. (20 CFR 67.720 (c)(3)

IFA Proportionate Use For the purpose of infrastructure funding, proportionate use refers to, among other things, a partner program contributing its fair share of the costs proportionate to: The use of the One-Stop center by customers who are enrolled in its program at the One-Stop Center; Another allocation consistent with the Uniform Guidance While the requirement to contribute in proportionate share to the benefit received remains present, WIOA neither prescribes the exact methodology to be use to allocate infrastructure cost nor determines each partner’s proportionate share. WIOA One-Stop: Infrastructure Funding – Part I US Departments of Labor & Education: 9/21/16

IFA: Relative Benefit When considering portportionate share, the determination of relative benefit received from participating in the One-Stop delivery system is another step in the allocation process. Determining relative benefit does not require partners to conduct an exact or absolute measurement of benefit, but instead measures a partner’s benefit using reasonable methods that are agreed to by all partners.

SSB 5069: Corrections Education (effective July 23, 2017) Allows community and technical colleges to provide workforce-related associate degrees in correctional institutions to inmates who meet criteria established by the Department of Corrections (DOC). Inmates shall be selected to participate in the program based on priority criteria and the following conditions: Within five years of release Do not already have a postsecondary degree Has a reentry plan that includes participation in an associate degree education program

BEdA Legislation Agenda Proposal Considerations (supports system priorities of equity, enrollment, & completion)   Caseload funding for basic skills All students receiving a two-year degree are eligible for a high school diploma Allow OSPI to receive credit for diploma attainment for HS 21+ students between the ages of 18-21 years of age. This would allow SBCTC to include younger students in HS 21+ Implement K-12 fine forgiveness so that CTC students can access their high school transcript Statewide funding solution for the first six college credits for those without a high school diploma   Increase funds to Opportunity Grant
