CCC Student Success Initiative
The Budget sets aside $33.1 million Proposition 98 General Fund for the Community Colleges in anticipation of legislation that would appropriate this amount to increase the rate of successful outcomes for students who are not adequately prepared for college-level work. Many students enter college without the requisite basic skills necessary to succeed in college. Despite the availability of remedial courses, most of those students do not persist long enough to complete a meaningful outcome such as attainment of an Associates Degree, a skill certificate necessary to enter a high-paying career, or completion of the required courses necessary to transfer to a four-year postsecondary institution. This circumstance threatens our future economic competitiveness and under-optimizes the potential of many of California's young adults. In order to address this situation, especially for students transitioning from high school, the Administration proposes funding to enhance counseling and other student services, including improved aptitude assessments, development of a meaningful academic plan for each student, and hands-on tutoring, as necessary, to ensure these students complete that plan. This funding would be distributed in a way that provides front-end accountability incentives for improving those success rates, thereby eliminating the need for tedious reporting on each college's choice of expenditures.
