Section 87482.6 Of Article 1. General Provisions From California Education Code >> Division 7. >> Title 3. >> Part 51. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 1.
87482.6
. (a) Until the provisions of Section 84750 regarding
program-based funding are implemented by a standard adopted by the
board of governors that establishes the appropriate percentage of
hours of credit instruction that should be taught by full-time
instructors, the Legislature wishes to recognize and make efforts to
address longstanding policy of the board of governors that at least
75 percent of the hours of credit instruction in the California
Community Colleges, as a system, should be taught by full-time
instructors. To this end, community college districts which have less
than 75 percent of their hours of credit instruction taught by
full-time instructors shall apply a portion of the program
improvement allocation received pursuant to Section 84755 as follows:
(1) Districts which, in the prior fiscal year, had between 67
percent and 75 percent of their hours of credit instruction taught by
full-time instructors shall apply up to 33 percent of their program
improvement allocation as necessary to reach the 75 percent standard.
If a district in this category chooses instead not to improve its
percentage, the board of governors shall withhold 33 percent of the
district's program improvement allocation.
(2) Districts which, in the prior fiscal year, had less than 67
percent of their hours of credit instruction taught by full-time
instructors shall apply up to 40 percent of their program improvement
allocation as necessary to reach the 75 percent standard. If a
district in this category chooses instead not to improve its
percentage, the board of governors shall withhold 40 percent of the
district's program improvement allocation.
Districts which maintain 75 percent or more of their hours of
credit instruction taught by full-time instructors shall otherwise be
free to use their program improvement allocation for any of the
purposes specified in Section 84755.
(b) The board of governors shall adopt regulations for the
effective administration of this section. Unless and until amended by
the board of governors, the regulations shall provide as follows:
(1) In computing the percentage of hours of credit instruction
taught by full-time instructors, the hours of overload teaching by
full-time instructors shall be excluded from both the total hours of
credit instruction taught by full-time and part-time instructors and
the total hours of instruction taught by full-time instructors.
(2) A full-time instructor shall be defined as any regular and
contract faculty member teaching credit instruction.
(3) The chancellor shall compute and report to each community
college district the number of full-time faculty (FTF) which are to
be secured through the use of the prescribed portion of program
improvement revenue allocated to each district. This computation
shall be made by dividing the applicable portion of program
improvement revenue (0 percent, 33 percent, or 40 percent of the
program improvement allocation), by the statewide average
"replacement cost" (a figure which represents the statewide average
faculty salary plus benefits, minus the statewide average hourly rate
of compensation for part-time instructors times the statewide
average full-time teaching load). If the quotient is not a whole
number, then the quotient shall be rounded down to the nearest whole
number. If this quotient, once applied, will result in the district
exceeding the 75 percent standard, the chancellor shall further
reduce the quotient to a whole number that will leave the district as
close as possible to, but in excess of, the 75 percent standard.
By March 15th of each year, the chancellor shall report to each
district an estimate of the number of FTF to be secured based upon
the appropriation of revenues contained in the annual Budget Bill.
(4) On or before December 31, 1991, the chancellor shall determine
the extent to which each district, by September 30, 1991, has hired
the number of FTF determined pursuant to paragraph (3) for the
1989-90 and 1990-91 fiscal years. To the extent that the cumulative
number of FTF have not been retained, the chancellor shall reduce the
district's base budget for 1991-92 and subsequent fiscal years by an
amount equivalent to the average replacement cost times the
deficiency in the number of FTF.
