Section 78216 Of Article 1. Student Matriculation From California Education Code >> Division 7. >> Title 3. >> Part 48. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 1.
78216
. (a) The Legislature recognizes that community college
districts are currently funding various components of student
matriculation through existing orientation, counseling and advising,
education planning, assessment, and other student services, but that
adequate student matriculation and implementation of the Student
Success and Support Program strategies cannot be realized without
supplemental funding support.
(b) The board of governors shall develop a formula for allocating
the funding for the Student Success and Support Program to implement
the services identified in Section 78212 at community colleges. The
formula shall include the requirement that the districts or colleges
contribute matching funds in an amount to be established by the board
of governors in each case, and shall reflect, but not be necessarily
limited to, other considerations as follows:
(1) The number of students to receive services at each college.
(2) The number of students who received orientation, assessment,
counseling and advising, and other education planning services.
(3) The requirement that funds for the Student Success and Support
Program services be expended only for services approved by the board
of governors.
(4) The requirement that any district or college receiving funding
pursuant to this section agree to implement this article, implement
the board of governors' system of common assessment, if using an
assessment instrument for placement, and implement the board of
governors' accountability scorecard, pursuant to Section 84754.5,
when established during the period in which it receives that funding.
(5) Insofar as a community college district is able to fully
implement in-person or technology strategies for orientation,
assessment, and education planning services, the board of governors
may identify other noninstructional support services that can be
funded through this article.
(c) The board of governors shall require participating colleges to
develop a Student Success and Support Program plan that reflects all
of the following:
(1) A description of the Student Success and Support Program
services identified in Section 78212 to be provided.
(2) A description of the college's process to identify students at
risk for academic or progress probation and the college's plan for
interventions or services to students.
(3) The college budget for the state-funded Student Success and
Support Program services pursuant to Sections 78212 and 78214.
(4) The development and training of staff and faculty to implement
the Student Success and Support Program services.
(5) In multicampus districts, the coordination of the college
Student Success and Support Program plan with other college plans
within the district.
(6) Technology services and institutional research and evaluation
necessary for implementation of this article.
(7) Coordination with college student equity plans to ensure that
the college has identified strategies to monitor and address equity
issues and mitigate any disproportionate impacts on student access
and achievement.
(8) The extent to which the community college is able to develop
partnerships with feeder high school districts, workforce agencies,
and other community partners to assist entering students in career
and educational exploration and planning and leverage resources to
support a successful transition to college and career.
(d) The board of governors may allocate up to 5 percent of the
total funds appropriated for the Student Success and Support Program
for state administrative operations to carry out the intent of this
article, subject to the review of the annual budget process.
