Threshold
Gold: Base funds; new funds; portion of bronze new funds
Silver: Base funds; new funds
Bronze: Base funds restored based on Performance Improvement Plan progress
MEASURES WEIGHTED:
Completer Entry-Level Wages compared to college service area entry-level wages: 30%
Completion Rate
and Retention Rate: 100%
Job Placement and/or
Continuing Education: 75%
Criteria:
improvement plan in place and approved by SBOE
Progress made
Examine:
Inclusion of Pell Grant Data as a multiplier in completion measure
AA completers and wage measures
Colleges’ mission to serve community needs for effect on wage measure
Colleges’ improvement plan strategies for effect on measures in future years
Other states to share data
