78221
. The Chancellor of the California Community Colleges shall
allocate funds provided for purposes of successfully implementing the
activities and goals specified in the student equity plans adopted
pursuant to Section 78220, consistent with all of the following:
(a) The chancellor shall ensure a community college district has submitted a student equity plan that is consistent with Section 78220. For purposes of allocating funding appropriated in the 2014-15 Budget Act, a community college district that has not submitted a student equity plan shall provide the chancellor with an outline for the community college district's completion of the student equity plan on or before January 1, 2015.
(b) The chancellor shall ensure that community college districts that serve greater populations of students who are high-need students or disadvantaged students receive greater resources to provide services to students, consistent with the goals and activities specified in their student equity plans.
(c) The chancellor shall establish criteria for calculating the number of high-need and disadvantaged students in a community college district. For purposes of this article, "high-need students" mean students who have an expected family contribution, as defined in subdivision (g) of Section 69432.7, at any time during those students' matriculation at the institution, that would qualify those students to receive federal Pell Grants and students from ZIP codes in the bottom two quintiles of college attainment. The calculation of a student's expected family contribution shall be based on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application or an application determined by the California Student Aid Commission to be equivalent to the FAFSA application submitted by that student. For purposes of this article, the determination of who are "disadvantaged" students shall take into account the college participation rate of the college-aged population of, and the socioeconomic status of, a community college district population.
(d) (1) The chancellor shall establish a list of eligible and ineligible expenditures and activities to ensure that funding is used to support the implementation of student equity plan goals and the coordination of services for the targeted student populations.
(2) Notwithstanding Section 10231.5 of the Government Code, by March 15, 2016, and by March 15 annually thereafter, the chancellor shall report to the Department of Finance, the Legislative Analyst, and the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature, on the expenditure of funds for purposes of this article during the previous fiscal year.
