NON-CONSENT ACTION ITEM

Governing Board Agenda Meeting Date May 26, 2020

Item Number Item Title Responsible Agents 1.1 TRUTH IN TAXATION HEARING –

NOTICE OF TAX LEVY INCREASE Dr. James Moore

Recommendation The Governing Board will be asked to approve a shift of a portion of the secondary tax rate to the primary tax rate, which will result in a decrease of $.05 for a $100,000 home. The tax shift will generate an estimated $1.3 million, exclusive of new property, which will be dedicated for capital. Submitted for action is the proposal to shift a portion of the planned reductions in the secondary property tax levy as bonds are paid off to the primary tax levy and to adopt a 0.26% primary property tax increase as part of the FY2020-21 Proposed Budget. In accordance with relevant statutory and Constitutional provisions, the MCCCD proposes increasing its primary property taxes on existing property in FY2020-21 by 0.26%, which equals $1,315,031 in additional property tax revenues from existing property. Through a roll call vote (as required per statute), it is recommended that the Governing Board approve the District’s proposed increase in primary taxes on existing property in FY2020-21. Justification In the 1996 legislative session, a Truth in Taxation statute was passed (ARS 15-1461.01). It requires political subdivisions to publish notice of, and to hold public hearings on, proposed tax increases on existing property. This law is intended to increase public awareness of proposed tax increases. A 1999 amendment to ARS 15-1461.01 requires the political subdivisions to also issue a press release. In compliance with this statute, a Truth in Taxation notice was published in the Arizona Republic on May 11 and May 18, 2020; and a press release was issued on May 8, 2020. A comparison of the effects of the calculated Truth in Taxation rate ($1.1220) to the proposed tax rate ($1.1250) reveals that the primary property taxes levied by the Maricopa County Community College District on a $100,000 home will rise from $112.20 to $112.50--a $0.30 per year, or 0.26%. The total combined primary and secondary tax rates ($1.2881) and property tax levied by the District, however, will decline by $4.04 from $132.85 for FY2019-20 to $128.81 for FY2020-21. Property tax increases and growth in other revenues provide funding to meet a wide variety of needs, allowing the Maricopa Community College District to better serve students and the community. With approval of this item, the total tax levy increase of $1,315,031will be dedicated to fund FY2020-21 and future capital needs.

NON-CONSENT ACTION ITEM

Governing Board Agenda Meeting Date: May 26, 2020

Item Number Item Title Responsible Agents 1.2 Adoption of the Proposed

Fiscal Year 2020-21 Budget Dr. James Moore

Recommendation Attached for adoption is the Proposed FY 2020-21 Budget. The Proposed FY2020-21 Budget includes a proposal to shift a portion of the secondary property tax rate to the primary tax rate, which will reduce a $100,000 home tax bill by $.05 in FY21. The tax shift will generate $1.3 million dedicated to FY2020-21 and future capital needs. The estimated all funds resources for FY2020-21 Proposed Budget total $1.6 billion, which consist of $1.1billion of on-going revenue and $540.7 million of fund balance. The proposed use of funds include $1.2 billion all fund expenditures and $347.6 million of reserves and contingencies. Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes, the proposed Legal Budget has been made available online on the District’s main web page effective May 11th, 2020 and was published in the Arizona Republic on May 18th, 2020. The Truth in Taxation notice also has been published in the Arizona Republic on May 11 and May 18, 2020.

After review of the estimated available resources and the District’s needs, several budget recommendations are included in the FY2020-21 Proposed Budget. The proposed expenditure budget includes addressing the significant deferred maintenance problems and various other capital needs, continued investment in Transformation initiatives, and other operation expenses. Justification In an effort to avoid seeking a bond to fund capital needs, a decision was made to forego additional bond issuance and shift the declining secondary tax rate to the primary rate for capital. As the total tax rate declines from bonds being paid off, shift a portion of the planned reduction from the secondary levy to the primary tax levy to fund future capital needs.

• Capital needs to maintain facilities and refresh capital equipment remains. • Planning for areas of student growth and modernization of facilities will require significant

remodeling and even construction of new buildings. • Adopted strategy: as the secondary rate declines, shift the rate to the primary levy to fund capital

needs in the future and possibly forego bonds, but still allow the total property tax levy to decline. The detailed FY2020-21 Proposed Budget is attached to this Action Item.

Introduction The Maricopa District is one of the largest community college systems in the nation and is the largest public higher education institution in Arizona. In FY2020-21, the District will continue to build on its long history of services to the community.

The Maricopa County Community College District (District) is fiscally sound and has adequate reserves to meet future contingencies. The District strives to maximize the resources entrusted to us by the taxpayers and students. Maricopa Transformation initiatives will require additional resources, as we develop new approaches to better serve our students and increase student retention, which will lead to more graduates. However, future decisions will need to be made to ensure long-term stability related to both operational and capital expenditures.

Overview of Proposed Budget

This Proposed budget compares the estimated revenue and expenditures from FY19-20 with the Proposed FY20-21 Budget. This provides a base for future budgeted expenditure and revenue comparisons. Throughout the budget process, the District evaluates the ability to sustain approved initiatives in the future.

Future Budget Plan The Transformation initiated in FY18 includes the recommendation that a budget process be developed that supports and promotes organizational performance around the following questions:

• Are we allocating funds appropriately among our colleges to obtain the best outcomes?

• Are revenues sufficient to fund critical education and support services now and in the future?

A study is continuing to help answer these questions. The following elements will be used for future budget planning:

• Fairness and Equity Study – develop adjustment methods to resolve identified inequalities • Adequacy Study – are colleges funded sufficiently • Increased college involvement around budgeting for initiatives and outcomes

Budget Prep Assumptions The following assumptions have been used in building the FY20-21 budget:

• Property tax levy is based on 2020 Net Primary Assessed Value, provided by Maricopa County Assessor on February 10, 2020;

• FTSE is estimated to be flat because of the uncertainty due to the COVID-19 impact; • General Fund expenditure growth includes required or previously agreed upon expenditure additions; • No re-allocation of funds held by colleges for FY20-21 (except for enrollment changes); and • Impacts of Covid-19 are unknown and unclear; declines in Prop 301 Revenue are expected.

Fund Balances Balances are estimated carryforward from prior year plus new revenues, less current year estimated expenditures. At Maricopa, we categorize funding as unrestricted or restricted.

Unrestricted Funds Unrestricted funds are those that can be allocated for different purposes. They include:

• General fund (Fund 1) – the largest and main operating fund for the Maricopa Community Colleges. The General Fund accounts for unrestricted resources that will be expended in the current year for operating purposes such as instruction, public service, academic support, student services, institutional support, operation/maintenance of plant, plus scholarships. It includes continuing and one-time expenditures.

• Auxiliary Fund (Fund 2) – includes revenues and expenditures that support a variety of self-supporting activities, including contract training, the three Skill Centers under Gateway, non-credit instruction, and food services.

• Plant Fund (Fund 7) – MCCCD’s capital fund. The major sources of funds are from the property tax levy for capital and prior years fund balance.

Estimated balances for the Unrestricted Funds are shown below.

Category FY19-20 FY20-21Unrestricted Fund (Fund 1) 197.3$ 187.4$ Auxiliary Fund (Fund 2) 83.8$ 88.8$ Plant Fund (Fund 7) 138.9$ 100.1$

Restricted Funds Restricted funds account for all externally restricted activity such as grants, bond debt service and student financial aid, and include:

• Restricted (Fund 3) – revenue sources include federal, state and local funds for grants or contracts and federal financial aid;

• Proposition 301 – a statewide November 2000 referendum that raised sales taxes for education (community colleges are required to use the funds for workforce development and training);

• Debt Service (Fund 8) – payments of interest and principal for General Obligation bonds purchased for the 2004 Capital Bond Program; and

• Quasi Endowment Fund (Fund 6) – portion of Worker’s Compensation reserves required by the Industrial Commission.

Fund Balance for Allocation Although the grand total fund balance for FY21 is estimated at $452.5 million, the restricted portion must be removed since its use is limited. This leaves $376.3 million.

It is anticipated some revenue will not be received, such as student bad debt and uncollected tax levy; therefore, $6.5 million is removed to recognize these potential losses. In addition, portions of the fund balance should be held for claims ($5m), financial stability ($70.9m), college operating and auxiliary reserves ($114.2m), and college and district-wide capital projects ($100.1m) that have already been committed for future use.

This leaves an estimated balance of about $79.6 million available for possible allocation after all of these adjustments.

Estimated Balances for June 30, 2021As of April 2020

(in Millions)

Some cautions to be noted regarding possible allocation of the ending balance:

• The ending balance should be used for one time funding only or to ensure funds for ongoing costs are held for future expenditures;

• Annual revenue growth from property tax, tuition and fees only average $10-$13 million/year in recent years. This is insufficient to cover large expenditure commitments;

• Funding is required to meet capital needs (including deferred maintenance of $377m); no source for future needs. A portion of balances needs to be available to ensure capital needs can be met. In FY2019-20, the Governing Board approved a tax increase which included shifting of secondary tax dedicated for capital. This tax shift must be approved by the Governing Board annually to continue;

• Maricopa’s Transformation improvements requires continuing investment; and

• Operating costs will continue to increase (technology licenses, updated systems, health insurance, ASRS).

Required and Recommended Budget Items. Discussion of allocation should recognize that there are required and recommended items for consideration.

The Required FY20-21 budget items of $1.1 million include:

Arizona State Retirement: contribution rate increase (employer and employees) from 12.11% to 12.22% - $0.4 million

Employee Manual costs: salary increase for employees who obtain job related degrees - $0.4 million

Institutional Scholarships (President and Honors): increased funding needed to retain and attract highly qualified students - $0.3 million

An additional $5.6 million are recommended to be included in the FY20-21 Proposed Budget for the following:

• Maricopa’s continued transformation improvements • Colleges’ and District Initiatives

Total Required Commitments and Additional Expenditure Recommendation - $6.7 million.

General Fund

Revenues Property Taxes: The amount of additional property taxes from new construction is projected to remain fairly level for two years with slower growth thereafter. Based on the 2020 Maricopa County Assessor’s valuations, the property tax levy from new construction will increase from $10 million for FY19-20 to $13 million for FY20-21.

Effective 2015, the voter-approved Proposition 117 altered the calculation of property tax. For 2015 both the Primary and the Secondary tax rates are calculated based on the same assessed valuation -- the Limited Property valuation (see the Appendix - Historic Property Assessment). Proposition 117 also capped the growth of a property’s limited property value at no more than 5% per year. This new law does not affect the total amount of property tax collections, but rather redistributes the tax obligation among property owners.

On May 26th, 2020 the Governing Board will be asked to approve a shift of a portion of the secondary tax rate to the primary tax rate, which will result in a decrease of $.05 for a $100,000 home. The tax shift will generate an estimated $1.3 million, exclusive of new property, which will be dedicated for capital.

Tuition and Fees:

The Governing Board approved tuition and fee rates at its April 7, 2020 meeting. The tuition rate for an in-county full-time student is $85/credit or $2,550 annually based on 30 credits/year.

Page 14

The Arizona Constitution mandates the provision of higher education "as nearly free as possible" and tuition for Maricopa Community College District remains below the national average of public two-year institutions. Students attending Maricopa Colleges prior to transferring to a Baccalaureate granting institution should expect to pay tuition at about 20-25 percent of Arizona’s public four-year institutions.

State Aid:

In FY2015-16, the Arizona Legislature changed the law to discontinue State Aid funding for Maricopa and Pima County Community College Districts. For FY19-20 the District received one time funds of $5.8 million for health care specialty expansions. The District also received a multiyear (FY20, FY21, and FY22) funding of $1.6 million for STEM expansion.

Fund Balance: An estimated $197.3 million of fund balance will be included in the report as resources.

Fund Transfers: The Proposed FY20-21 budget also assumes incoming transfers of $4.7 million from District-Wide Capital Fund balance.

Auxiliary Fund The Auxiliary Fund includes contract training and other substantially self-supporting activities, such as the skill centers, non-credit instruction, course fees, and food services. The FY20-21 Proposed budget for Auxiliary Fund totals $133.4 million in resources. Section B provides a summary of all Auxiliary funds.

Restricted Fund (Fund 3) The Restricted Fund (Other) FY20-21 budget is $241.5 million. Proposition 301 Proposed budget for FY20-21 is estimated at $18.3 million, which includes $6.4 million of fund balance.

Proposition 301

In 2018, the Governor signed into law a bill to extend Proposition 301 for another 20 years. The District anticipates receiving $11.7 million in Proposition 301 sales tax revenues for FY20-21 to support workforce development initiatives. The Workforce Development Office will work with the colleges to develop a plan for FY21 and a 5-year plan to maximize the benefits of this fund. Strategies to be examined include:

• Workforce Faculty/Employees; • Workforce Equipment needs; • Workforce Information System Development • MCOR Fund Commitment

Capital (Plant) Fund

The Unexpended Plant Fund is $163.7 million for FY20-21. An evaluation of facilities helped the District prioritize where capital funds are most needed. Since we cannot rely on State funding, and bond resources are being consumed, the only ongoing source of capital funds is from the shift of the secondary property tax dedicated to capital as bonds are paid down.

Life without the Bond: • As the total tax rate declines from bonds being paid off, shift the planned reduction from the secondary

levy to the primary tax levy to fund future capital needs.

• Capital needs to maintain facilities and refresh capital equipment remains.

• Planning for areas of student growth and modernization of facilities will require significant remodeling and even construction of new buildings.

• Adopted strategy: as the secondary rate declines, shift the rate to the primary levy to fund capital needs in the future and possibly forego bonds, but still allow the total property tax levy to decline.

The chart on the following page shows the effect of retaining a small portion of the tax levy decline in the future for maintenance and other capital needs.

For FY20-21, the total tax rate would have been $1.2851 per $100 of assessed valuation, with $1.1220 of this as primary. As highlighted below, the proposed tax increase of $0.0030 puts the primary rate at $1.1250 and the total tax rate to $1.2881 per $100 assessed valuation. This is still a reduction in the total tax rate from the current year’s rate of $1.3285. The total tax increase (0.26%) would raise an estimated $1.3 million (exclusive of new construction) for a cumulative total of $16.5 million will be dedicated for FY20-21 and beyond for capital purposes.

Significant Changes for the Auxiliary Fund Resources from FY19-20 to FY20-21

As shown above, the FY20-21 projected resources for the Auxiliary budget are about $3.6 million more than the estimated FY19-20 resources due to a higher fund balance from prior year.

Significant Changes for the Auxiliary Fund Expenditure for FY20-21

As shown above, the FY20-21 projected expenditures for the Auxiliary budget increase by $1.5M from the estimated FY19-20 expenses. All colleges are projected to increase their spending. District Office/District-Wide expenses will be decreased significantly due to smaller projects that will be paid out in Fund 2 in FY2020-21.

Course fee funds have been used in the past for equipment/capital purchases related to courses, as shown in the chart below. However, beginning in FY19-20 District-funded course-related equipment purchases will be made through the Capital Fund instead of from course fees (Fund 250). Colleges are provided an allocation up to $2.0 million annually, transferred from General Fund to Capital for course equipment purchases. The Governing Board approved this plan on May 1, 2018. Consequently, colleges should not be assessing course fees for the purpose of purchasing course equipment.

Proposition 301 Revenue & Expenditure

Proposition 301 is a statewide referendum approved by voters in November 2000 that raised sales taxes for education. Community colleges are required to use the funds for workforce development and training. The Department of Revenue started collecting an additional 0.6% sales tax beginning June 1, 2001, as a result of the referendum. The money is first to be used to pay the annual debt service on outstanding School Facilities Revenue Bonds. Three percent of the remaining money is allocated to the Community College Districts based on the latest available Audited FTSE figures.

The District anticipates receiving $11.7 million in Proposition 301 sales tax revenues for FY20-21 to support workforce development initiatives. Among these initiatives, the District utilizes $4.5 million for the costs of 39 faculty currently in Fund 321. An estimated $11.8 million will be spent for College Workforce Initiatives at individual colleges in areas such as aerospace and aviation, bioscience and biotechnology, business and financial services, health care, teacher education, public safety and homeland security, career pipeline development, apprenticeships/internships and retraining, response to local workforce needs and sustainability and green technologies. Two million per year is reserved for MCOR support beginning in FY18 through FY21. Fund balance is in reserve to address capital shortages or rapid response to workforce needs.

Historic Property Assessment The chart and table below show the history of assessed valuation of property in Maricopa County. This valuation is a factor in determining the primary and secondary tax levies of the Maricopa Community Colleges. The net assessment values had declined for several years due to the economy. NOTE: Effective 2015 the voters of Arizona passed Proposition 117, which amended the Constitution of Arizona to establish a single limited property value as the base for determining all property tax and limited the growth allowed in the value. Consequently, the Primary Net Assessed Value is used to calculate both the Primary and Secondary taxes.

Tax Rates Calculation

In 1980, Arizona citizens amended the State Constitution and capped primary property tax revenue increases for existing property to 2% per year. With the exception of five years (FY09-10, F10-11, FY12-13, FY15-16 and FY16-17), the Maricopa Governing Board has approved an increase in property tax revenues. Although the max levy amount continues to grow, the district has not levied to the maximum allowed.

EXHIBIT A

FINANCIAL PROVISIONS

1. APPROVED TUITION AND FEES APPLICABLE TO THIS AGREEMENT

A. Payment of Tuition and Fees. The method of payment for tuition and fees will be agreed to by the

Coordinating College and the High School. Generally speaking, however, a student enrolled in a Dual

Enrollment Course is ultimately responsible for paying to College the applicable tuition and fees for each

Course. Students who are unable to provide documentation that they are a United States citizen or other

acceptable documentation that they are in the United States legally will be required to pay MCCCD’s out-of-

state tuition. College may, at its sole discretion and based on a standardized process and criteria for all

Maricopa County Community College District (“MCCCD”) colleges, provide Dual Enrollment Grants as

described in Paragraph 4 based on financial need for any of the students enrolled in MCCCD courses covered

by this Agreement. Charter School may, at its sole discretion, provide scholarships for any of its students

enrolled in MCCCD courses covered by this Agreement. If Charter School pays those scholarships directly

to MCCCD on behalf of the student, Charter School must submit an approved list of scholarship recipients,

including dollars awarded, to the appropriate college or colleges no later than the first day of dual enrollment

classes offered under this Agreement.

B. Payment for Instruction, Facilities and Materials. College agrees to pay Charter School $1,000 per

annualized Full-Time Student Equivalent (“FTSE”) and an additional $300 per annualized FTSE for ongoing

use of computer labs and occupational and science lab equipment and supplies (pending full funding of dual

enrollment in the fiscal year 2020/2021 budget). The purpose of those payments is to compensate Charter

School for the reasonable cost of instructional services, facilities, and materials used in the MCCCD courses

covered by this Agreement. College will calculate annualized FTSE by dividing the total number of student

credit hours, as of the official count day as specified in applicable state law, by 30. If State aid to community

colleges for dual enrollment be reduced or eliminated, stipend amounts will necessarily be re-negotiated.

C. Partial Payment. College may make a partial payment to Charter School at the beginning of each semester to

cover administrative costs the Charter School has already incurred and for facility rentals. College will

calculate the partial payment using the individual high school class rosters and applying the formula in

Paragraph 1.B (that is, annualized FTSE times the appropriate dollar amount). Partial payment may not

exceed 50% of the total projected compensation specified in Paragraph 1.B. College may offset any

scholarship payments due from Charter School under Paragraph 1.A. against the partial payment.

D. Reconciliation. Promptly after the official count day specified in Paragraph 1.B., College will make a written

final reconciliation using actual enrollments as calculated in Paragraph 1.B., tuition and fees that students

have paid directly, any scholarships that the Charter School has paid, any Dual Enrollment Grants provided,

and any partial payment made to the Charter School under Paragraph 1.C. College will forward a copy of the

final reconciliation to the Charter School. Any final payment due to Charter School from College or from

Charter School to College will be made no later than 30 days after College receives an invoice from Charter

School for payment.

E. Charter School Scholarships. Charter School will make a good faith effort to reinvest funds received under

Paragraph 1.B. in the dual enrollment program and/or in scholarships to economically disadvantaged students

who are enrolled in courses offered under this Agreement.

2. IDENTITY OF PERSON OR ENTITY RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING STUDENT TUITION AND FEES

As specified in more detail in Paragraph 1A, the student is generally responsible for paying the College tuition and

fees. In some cases, either the Charter School or MCCCD may provide financial assistance, as specified in

Paragraphs 1.A and 4. .

3. ADDITIONAL CHARGES

Other than tuition and fees, the College does not charge any additional fees.

Page 86: Maricopa County Community College District Governing Board … · 2020-06-08 · audio conference. Dial +1-408-418-9388 ... *11.9 Approve U.S. Small Business Administration Award

Page 12 of 13 MC-DE-Charter 032420

4. FINANCIAL AID POLICIES

Other than as specified in this Paragraph 4, MCCCD offers no grant, scholarship or financial aid for the dual

enrollment program. Additionally, the provision, if any, of any grant, scholarship or financial aid is subject to the

requirements of MCCCD policies and procedures, and relevant state statutes and regulations.

MCCCD offers qualifying high school students attending Maricopa Community Colleges in dual enrollment

programs the Dual Enrollment Grant program. High school students who cannot supply one of the 12 types of

documentation specified under ARS §1-502 demonstrating that they are in the country legally may not apply for the

Dual Enrollment Grant.

Student applicants must demonstrate “financial need” by completing the Dual Enrollment Grant Application Form

and providing documentation of household income using the most recent years signed income tax return for the

student and the parent or guardians. The need for financial assistance will be indicated if household income falls

below 200 percent of the U.S. Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines.

Student recipients from households that do not file income tax returns may demonstrate financial need if they

provide documentation that, they themselves, their parents or a household member received benefits from any of the

following federal benefits program: Supplemental Social Security, Food Stamps, Free or Reduced Price Lunch,

TANF, or WIC.

A. Grant awards may be applied toward resident tuition and registration fees in dual enrollment courses only,

and will cover a maximum of twelve credit hours per student per year. The parent/guardian is responsible

for all other fees and charges.

B. Students must complete the first semester in which they enroll with a grade of A, B, or C in order to be

eligible to receive a Dual Enrollment Grant for the following semester. Withdrawal from a course funded

by a Dual Enrollment Grant after the last date for Official Course Withdrawal will disqualify a student for

any additional grant awards while in high school. A disqualified student may request reconsideration based

on extenuating circumstances. The award of an additional Dual Enrollment Grant will be at the College’s

discretion.

C. College may not use Dual Enrollment Grant funds to support dual enrollment program costs such as

salaries, operating supplies, and advertising.

D. The MCCCD Vice Chancellor for Business Services will notify each MCCCD College annually of the

amount available for the Dual Enrollment Grant Program from MCCCD resources. Colleges may add to

this allocation but must account for the scholarships in an account dedicated to dual enrollment

scholarships. Such accounts will be established centrally.

E. At the end of every fiscal year, using a standardized form, each College will report to both the MCCCD

Financial Aid Council and the MCCCD Chancellor’s Executive Council on the use of these scholarship

resources.

5. FORMAT FOR BILLING

A. Payment of Tuition and Fees. The method of payment for tuition and fees will be agreed to by the

Coordinating College and the High School. Generally speaking, however, a student enrolled in a Dual

state tuition. College may, at its sole discretion and based on a standardized process and criteria for all

Maricopa County Community College District (“MCCCD”) colleges, provide Dual Enrollment Grants as

described in Paragraph 4 based on financial need for any of the students enrolled in MCCCD courses covered

by this Agreement. Private School may, at its sole discretion, provide scholarships for any of its students

enrolled in MCCCD courses covered by this Agreement. If Private School pays those scholarships directly to

including dollars awarded, to the appropriate college or colleges no later than the first day of dual enrollment

classes offered under this Agreement.

B. Payment for Instruction, Facilities and Materials. College agrees to pay Private School $1,000 per annualized

Full-Time Student Equivalent (“FTSE”) and an additional $300 per annualized FTSE for ongoing use of

computer labs and occupational and science lab equipment and supplies (pending full funding of dual

enrollment in the fiscal year 2020/2021 budget). The purpose of those payments is to compensate Private

School for the reasonable cost of instructional services, facilities, and materials used in the MCCCD courses

covered by this Agreement. College will calculate annualized FTSE by dividing the total number of student

C. Partial Payment. College may make a partial payment to Private School at the beginning of each semester to

cover administrative costs the Private School has already incurred and for facility rentals. College will

calculate the partial payment using the individual high school class rosters and applying the formula in

Paragraph 1.B (that is, annualized FTSE times the appropriate dollar amount). Partial payment may not

exceed 50% of the total projected compensation specified in Paragraph 1.B. College may offset any

scholarship payments due from Private School under Paragraph 1.A. against the partial payment.

D. Reconciliation. Promptly after the official count day specified in Paragraph 1.B., College will make a written

final reconciliation using actual enrollments as calculated in Paragraph 1.B., tuition and fees that students

have paid directly, any scholarships that the Private School has paid, any Dual Enrollment Grants provided,

and any partial payment made to the Private School under Paragraph 1.C. College will forward a copy of the

final reconciliation to the Private School. Any final payment due to Private School from College or from

Private School to College will be made no later than 30 days after College receives an invoice from Private

School for payment.

E. Private School Scholarships. Private School will make a good faith effort to reinvest funds received under

Paragraph 1.B. in the dual enrollment program and/or in scholarships to economically disadvantaged students

who are enrolled in courses offered under this Agreement.

2. IDENTITY OF PERSON OR ENTITY RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING STUDENT TUITION AND FEES

As specified in more detail in Paragraph 1A, the student is generally responsible for paying the College tuition and

fees. In some cases, either the Private School or MCCCD may provide financial assistance, as specified in

Paragraphs 1.A and 4.

3. ADDITIONAL CHARGES

Other than tuition and fees, the College does not charge any additional fees.

4. FINANCIAL AID POLICIES

Other than as specified in this Paragraph 4, MCCCD offers no grant, scholarship or financial aid for the dual

enrollment program. Additionally, the provision, if any, of any grant, scholarship or financial aid is subject to the

requirements of MCCCD policies and procedures, and relevant state statutes and regulations.

MCCCD offers qualifying high school students attending Maricopa Community Colleges in dual enrollment

programs the Dual Enrollment Grant program. High school students who cannot supply one of the 12 types of

documentation specified under ARS § 1-502 demonstrating that they are in the country legally may not apply for the

Dual Enrollment Grant.

Student applicants must demonstrate “financial need” by completing the Dual Enrollment Grant Application Form

and providing documentation of household income using the most recent years signed income tax return for the

student and the parent or guardians. The need for financial assistance will be indicated if household income falls

below 200 percent of the U.S. Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines.

Student recipients from households that do not file income tax returns may demonstrate financial need if they

provide documentation that, they themselves, their parents or a household member received benefits from any of the

following federal benefits program: Supplemental Social Security, Food Stamps, Free or Reduced Price Lunch,

TANF, or WIC.

A. Grant awards may be applied toward resident tuition and registration fees in dual enrollment courses only, and

will cover a maximum of twelve credit hours per student per year. The parent/guardian is responsible for all

other fees and charges.

B. Students must complete the first semester in which they enroll with a grade of A, B, or C in order to be eligible

to receive a Dual Enrollment Grant for the following semester. Withdrawal from a course funded by a Dual

Enrollment Grant after the last date for Official Course Withdrawal will disqualify a student for any additional

grant awards while in high school. A disqualified student may request reconsideration based on extenuating

circumstances. The award of an additional Dual Enrollment Grant will be at the College’s discretion.

C. College may not use Dual Enrollment Grant funds to support dual enrollment program costs such as salaries,

operating supplies, and advertising.

D. The MCCCD Vice Chancellor for Business Services will notify each MCCCD College annually of the amount

available for the Dual Enrollment Grant Program from MCCCD resources. Colleges may add to this allocation

but must account for the scholarships in an account dedicated to dual enrollment scholarships. Such accounts

will be established centrally.

E. At the end of every fiscal year, using a standardized form, each College will report to both the MCCCD

Financial Aid Council and the MCCCD Chancellor’s Executive Council on the use of these scholarship

resources.

5. FORMAT FOR BILLING

Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit describes the reimbursement that the College provides to the Private School, the manner

by which the College calculates it, and the Private School expenses that the reimbursement is intended to address. If

the Private School owes College under Paragraph 1.D, Private School will pay College based on the end-of semester

EXHIBIT A

FINANCIAL PROVISIONS

1. APPROVED TUITION AND FEES APPLICABLE TO THIS AGREEMENT

A. Payment of Tuition and Fees. The method of payment for tuition and fees will be agreed to by the

Coordinating College and the High School. Generally speaking, however, a student enrolled in a Dual

Enrollment Course is ultimately responsible for paying to College the applicable tuition and fees for each

Course. Students who are unable to provide documentation that they are a United States citizen or other

acceptable documentation that they are in the United States legally will be required to pay MCCCD’s out-of-

state tuition. College may, at its sole discretion and based on a standardized process and criteria for all

Maricopa County Community College District (“MCCCD”) colleges, provide Dual Enrollment Grants as

described in Paragraph 4 based on financial need for any of the students enrolled in MCCCD courses covered

by this Agreement. School District may, at its sole discretion, provide scholarships for any of its students

enrolled in MCCCD courses covered by this Agreement. If School District pays those scholarships directly

to MCCCD on behalf of the student, School District must submit an approved list of scholarship recipients,

including dollars awarded, to the appropriate college or colleges no later than the first day of dual enrollment

classes offered under this Agreement.

B. Payment for Instruction, Facilities and Materials. College agrees to pay School District $1,000 per

annualized Full-Time Student Equivalent (“FTSE”) and an additional $300 per annualized FTSE for ongoing

use of computer labs and occupational and science lab equipment and supplies (pending full funding of dual

enrollment in the fiscal year 2020/2021 budget). The purpose of those payments is to compensate School

District for the reasonable cost of instructional services, facilities, and materials used in the MCCCD courses

covered by this Agreement. College will calculate annualized FTSE by dividing the total number of student

credit hours, as of the official count day as specified in applicable state law, by 30. If State aid to community

colleges for dual enrollment be reduced or eliminated, stipend amounts will necessarily be re-negotiated.

C. Partial Payment. College may make a partial payment to School District at the beginning of each semester to

cover administrative costs the School District has already incurred and for facility rentals. College will

calculate the partial payment using the individual high school class rosters and applying the formula in

Paragraph 1.B (that is, annualized FTSE times the appropriate dollar amount). Partial payment may not

exceed 50% of the total projected compensation specified in Paragraph 1.B. College may offset any

scholarship payments due from School District under Paragraph 1.A. against the partial payment.

D. Reconciliation. Promptly after the official count day specified in Paragraph 1.B., College will make a written

final reconciliation using actual enrollments as calculated in Paragraph 1.B., tuition and fees that students

have paid directly, any scholarships that the School District has paid, any Dual Enrollment Grants provided,

and any partial payment made to the School District under Paragraph 1.C. College will forward a copy of the

final reconciliation to the School District. Any final payment due to School District from College or from

School District to College will be made no later than 30 days after College receives an invoice from School

District for payment.

E. School District Scholarships. School District will make a good faith effort to reinvest funds received under

Paragraph 1.B. in the dual enrollment program and/or in scholarships to economically disadvantaged students

who are enrolled in courses offered under this Agreement.

2. IDENTITY OF PERSON OR ENTITY RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING STUDENT TUITION AND FEES

As specified in more detail in Paragraph 1A, the student is generally responsible for paying the College tuition and

fees. In some cases, either the School District or MCCCD may provide financial assistance, as specified in

Paragraphs 1.A and 4.

3. ADDITIONAL CHARGES

Other than tuition and fees, the College does not charge any additional fees.

Page 113: Maricopa County Community College District Governing Board … · 2020-06-08 · audio conference. Dial +1-408-418-9388 ... *11.9 Approve U.S. Small Business Administration Award

MC-DE-Public 032420 Page 12 of 13

4. FINANCIAL AID POLICIES

Other than as specified in this Paragraph 4, MCCCD offers no grant, scholarship or financial aid for the dual

enrollment program. Additionally, the provision, if any, of any grant, scholarship or financial aid is subject to the

requirements of MCCCD policies and procedures, and relevant state statutes and regulations.

MCCCD offers qualifying high school students attending Maricopa Community Colleges in dual enrollment

programs the Dual Enrollment Grant program. High school students who cannot supply one of the 12 types of

documentation specified under ARS § 1-502 demonstrating that they are in the country legally may not apply for the

Dual Enrollment Grant.

Student applicants must demonstrate “financial need” by completing the Dual Enrollment Grant Application Form

and providing documentation of household income using the most recent years signed income tax return for the

student and the parent or guardians. The need for financial assistance will be indicated if household income falls

below 200 percent of the U.S. Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines.

Student recipients from households that do not file income tax returns may demonstrate financial need if they

provide documentation that, they themselves, their parents or a household member received benefits from any of the

following federal benefits program: Supplemental Social Security, Food Stamps, Free or Reduced Price Lunch,

TANF, or WIC.

A. Grant awards may be applied toward resident tuition and registration fees in dual enrollment courses only, and

will cover a maximum of twelve credit hours per student per year. The parent/guardian or student is

responsible for all other fees and charges.

B. Students must complete the first semester in which they enroll with a grade of A, B, or C in order to be eligible

to receive a Dual Enrollment Grant for the following semester. Withdrawal from a course funded by a Dual

Enrollment Grant after the last date for Official Course Withdrawal will disqualify a student for any additional

grant awards while in high school. A disqualified student may request reconsideration based on extenuating

circumstances. The award of an additional Dual Enrollment Grant will be at the College’s discretion.

C. College may not use Dual Enrollment Grant funds to support dual enrollment program costs such as salaries,

operating supplies, and advertising.

D. The MCCCD Vice Chancellor for Business Services will notify each MCCCD College annually of the amount

available for the Dual Enrollment Grant Program from MCCCD resources. Colleges may add to this allocation

but must account for the scholarships in an account dedicated to dual enrollment scholarships. Such accounts

will be established centrally.

E. At the end of every fiscal year, using a standardized form, each College will report to both the MCCCD

Financial Aid Council and the MCCCD Chancellor’s Executive Council on the use of these scholarship

resources.

5. FORMAT FOR BILLING

Paragraph 1 of this Exhibit describes the reimbursement that the College provides to the School District, the manner

by which the College calculates it, and the School District expenses that the reimbursement is intended to address.

If the School District owes College under Paragraph 1.D, School District will pay College based on the end-of

semester reconciliation specified in Paragraph 1.D.

EXHIBIT A

FINANCIAL PROVISIONS

1. APPROVED TUITION AND FEES APPLICABLE TO THIS AGREEMENT

A. Payment of Tuition and Fees. The method of payment for tuition and fees will be agreed to by

the Coordinating College and the High School. Generally speaking, however, a student enrolled

in a Dual Enrollment Course is ultimately responsible for paying to College the applicable tuition

and fees for each Course. Students who are unable to provide documentation that they are a

United States citizen or other acceptable documentation that they are in the United States legally

will be required to pay MCCCD’s out-of-state tuition. College may, at its sole discretion and

based on a standardized process and criteria for all Maricopa County Community College

District (“MCCCD”) colleges, provide Dual Enrollment Grants as described in Paragraph 4

based on financial need for any of the students enrolled in MCCCD courses covered by this

Agreement. Charter School may, at its sole discretion, provide scholarships for any of its

students enrolled in MCCCD courses covered by this Agreement. If Charter School pays those

scholarships directly to MCCCD on behalf of the student, Charter School must submit an

approved list of scholarship recipients, including dollars awarded, to the appropriate college or

colleges no later than the first day of dual enrollment classes offered under this Agreement.

B. Payment for Instruction, Facilities and Materials. College agrees to pay Charter School $1,000

per annualized Full-Time Student Equivalent (“FTSE”) and an additional $300 per annualized

FTSE for ongoing use of computer labs and occupational and science lab equipment and supplies

(pending full funding of dual enrollment in the fiscal year 2020/2021 budget). The purpose of

those payments is to compensate Charter School for the reasonable cost of instructional services,

facilities, and materials used in the MCCCD courses covered by this Agreement. College will

calculate annualized FTSE by dividing the total number of student credit hours, as of the official

count day as specified in applicable state law, by 30. If State aid to community colleges for dual

enrollment be reduced or eliminated, stipend amounts will necessarily be re-negotiated.

C. Partial Payment. College may make a partial payment to Charter School at the beginning of each

semester to cover administrative costs the Charter School has already incurred and for facility

rentals. College will calculate the partial payment using the individual high school class rosters

and applying the formula in Paragraph 1.B (that is, annualized FTSE times the appropriate dollar

amount). Partial payment may not exceed 50% of the total projected compensation specified in

Paragraph 1.B. College may offset any scholarship payments due from Charter School under

Paragraph 1.A. against the partial payment.

D. Reconciliation. Promptly after the official count day specified in Paragraph 1.B., College will

make a written final reconciliation using actual enrollments as calculated in Paragraph 1.B.,

tuition and fees that students have paid directly, any scholarships that the Charter School has

paid, any Dual Enrollment Grants provided, and any partial payment made to the Charter School

under Paragraph 1.C. College will forward a copy of the final reconciliation to the Charter

School. Any final payment due to Charter School from College or from Charter School to

College will be made no later than 30 days after College receives an invoice from Charter School

for payment.

E. Charter School Scholarships. Charter School will make a good faith effort to reinvest funds

received under Paragraph 1.B. in the dual enrollment program and/or in scholarships to

economically disadvantaged students who are enrolled in courses offered under this Agreement

2. IDENTITY OF PERSON OR ENTITY RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING STUDENT TUITION AND FEES

Page 126: Maricopa County Community College District Governing Board … · 2020-06-08 · audio conference. Dial +1-408-418-9388 ... *11.9 Approve U.S. Small Business Administration Award

MC-DE-CHARTER-SRPMIC 042220 Page 12 of 14

As specified in more detail in Paragraph 1A, the student is generally responsible for paying the College

tuition and fees. In some cases, either the Charter School or MCCCD may provide financial assistance,

as specified in Paragraphs 1.A and 4. .

3. ADDITIONAL CHARGES

Other than tuition and fees, the College does not charge any additional fees.

4. FINANCIAL AID POLICIES

Other than as specified in this Paragraph 4, MCCCD offers no grant, scholarship or financial aid for

the dual enrollment program. Additionally, the provision, if any, of any grant, scholarship or financial

aid is subject to the requirements of MCCCD policies and procedures, and relevant state statutes and

regulations.

MCCCD offers qualifying high school students attending Maricopa Community Colleges in dual

enrollment programs the Dual Enrollment Grant program. High school students who cannot supply one

of the 12 types of documentation specified under ARS §1-502 demonstrating that they are in the country

legally may not apply for the Dual Enrollment Grant.

Student applicants must demonstrate “financial need” by completing the Dual Enrollment Grant

Application Form and providing documentation of household income using the most recent years signed

income tax return for the student and the parent or guardians. The need for financial assistance will be

indicated if household income falls below 200 percent of the U.S. Health and Human Services Poverty

Guidelines.

Student recipients from households that do not file income tax returns may demonstrate financial need if

they provide documentation that, they themselves, their parents or a household member received benefits

from any of the following federal benefits program: Supplemental Social Security, Food Stamps, Free or

Reduced Price Lunch, TANF, or WIC.

A. Grant awards may be applied toward resident tuition and registration fees in dual enrollment

courses only, and will cover a maximum of twelve credit hours per student per year. The

parent/guardian is responsible for all other fees and charges.

B. Students must complete the first semester in which they enroll with a grade of A, B, or C in order

to be eligible to receive a Dual Enrollment Grant for the following semester. Withdrawal from

a course funded by a Dual Enrollment Grant after the last date for Official Course Withdrawal

will disqualify a student for any additional grant awards while in high school. A disqualified

student may request reconsideration based on extenuating circumstances. The award of an

additional Dual Enrollment Grant will be at the College’s discretion.

C. College may not use Dual Enrollment Grant funds to support dual enrollment program costs

such as salaries, operating supplies, and advertising.

D. The MCCCD Vice Chancellor for Business Services will notify each MCCCD College annually

of the amount available for the Dual Enrollment Grant Program from MCCCD resources.

Colleges may add to this allocation but must account for the scholarships in an account dedicated

to dual enrollment scholarships. Such accounts will be established centrally.

E. At the end of every fiscal year, using a standardized form, each College will report to both the

MCCCD Financial Aid Council and the MCCCD Chancellor’s Executive Council on the use of

these scholarship resources.

PROJECT SUMMARY

Overview:The TRAIN (Transfer to Interdisciplinary Natural Sciences) partnership will leverage current and prior S-STEM support and an active relationship between Arizona State University (ASU) and the MaricopaCounty Community College District (MCCCD) to create a Phoenix-area consortium between threeHispanic-serving community colleges (CCs) and ASU to recruit, transfer, retain, and graduate low-income, academically talented students underrepresented in STEM fields. To help them succeed, theinitiative will provide several support structures and 336 scholarships over five years to about 203 uniquestudents.Students will be recruited by MCCCD and ASU faculty from students currently enrolled at regional CCs,which offer ideal demographics for finding talented candidates. Close to 75 percent of students at TRAINpartner CCs are eligible for Pell grants, and about 85 percent of these CC students are from groupsunderrepresented in STEM. Faculty will also work with a liaison at Phoenix Union High School Districtto recruit local high-school students. These Phoenix high schools are also a great source for students forour program, as more than 94 percent are from minority groups underrepresented in STEM, 81 percentidentify as Hispanic, and 51 percent speak Spanish at home.Realizing the challenges faced by this culturally, linguistically diverse cohort, in addition to providingfinancial support for studying interdisciplinary natural sciences, TRAIN will offer selected students a setof support structures tailored to their unique backgrounds. These include emotional, social, and academicsupport through robust peer and faculty mentoring programs, online cohorts, internships, andundergraduate research opportunities-all aimed at helping students transfer to, stay in, and graduate froma four-year university, preparing them for graduate school or for the STEM workforce.

Intellectual Merit:TRAIN will advance understanding of the unique challenges faced by students underrepresented inSTEM. In particular, researchers will examine how diverse student sub-populations, such as Hispanicsand women, may be impacted differentially by program components, and how support structures can beconstructed and interventions executed to retain and motivate different student populations. Multipleinterventional components exist within each type of curricular and co-curricular support structure,offering researchers a rich data set for differentiating which interventions best support which groups ofstudents.TRAIN will also analyze which interventions yield better returns on investment. Though previous workhas shown some interventions more successfully support students, little is known about how institutionsand educators can optimize these interventions to generate the most benefit to students for the least cost.

Broader Impacts:By building a pipeline based on the existing relationship between the nation's largest public universityand one of its largest community college districts, TRAIN will help academically talented, low-income,underrepresented minority students in the Southwest complete STEM degrees. These students will benefitfrom support structures and hands-on opportunities at both institutions, receiving not just aninterdisciplinary STEM education, but training as collaborators and researchers. After graduating, withTRAIN investment and support, they will strengthen the workforce in the nation's twelfth-largestmetropolitan area and further diversify the STEM talent pool in the U.S. Increasing the diversity ofthought, experience, and expertise available within the workplace catalyzes economic growth andinnovation. Knowledge generated from TRAIN will inform best practices- which will be shared withother researchers through conferences and publications- for supporting transfer students obtaining four-year degrees. These best practices will allow investigators to compile a menu of services that can betailored to each student's or each population group's unique needs. Finally, our program will buildadditional bridges between STEM college educators, high-school educators, and advisors at ourinstitutions, ensuring sustained, institutional change that maximizes student success.

(B) PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND PLANSThe (Transfer to Interdisciplinary Natural Sciences) TRAIN partnership will leverage current and prior S-STEM support, active relationships with Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) and ASU’s recent engagement with the John Gardner Institute (Foundation of Excellence: Transfer Focus initiative) to create a Phoenix-area consortium between three Hispanic-serving community colleges and Arizona State University (ASU) to recruit, transfer, retain, and graduate low-income, academically talented STEM students. Scholarships, educational research, and institutional changes will be combined to achieve the following objectives:

(1) Create a transfer consortium in the Phoenix metropolitan area between three MCCCD Hispanic-serving Institutions (HSIs)—South Mountain Community College (SMCC), Glendale Community College (GCC), and Phoenix College (PC)—and ASU’s diverse West campus, which provides smaller, personalized education experiences and applies experiential, interactive learning approaches to its interdisciplinary natural science programs.

(3) Generate evidence-based knowledge (a) identifying the most effective and cost-effectivesupport structures for transfer-ring low-income, academically talented STEM students from two-year HSIs to universities and helping them graduate with four-year degrees, (b) identify-ing which support structures are most effective for certain demo-graphic subsets, and (c) developing scalable models for creating seamless transfer pathways from CCs to four-year colleges that increase student success in STEM disciplines.

Broader Impacts: By building astronger pipeline between thenation’s largest public university (by enrollment) and one of its largest community college dis-tricts, we will help academically talented, low-income, under-represented minority students in the Southwest overcome barri-ers to completing STEM degrees. These students will take full advantage of both institutions’ hands-on approach, receiving not just an interdisci-plinary STEM education, but training as collaborators and researchers. After graduating, with our investment and support, they will strengthen the work-force in the Phoenix area and further diversify the STEM talent

pool in the U.S. Knowledge we gather from TRAIN will inform best practices that can be shared with other researchers for supporting transfer students obtaining four-year degrees. These best practices will allow us to compile a menu of services that can be tailored to each student’s or each population group’s unique needs. Finally, our program will build additional bridges between STEM college educators and advisors at our institutions, ensuring sustained, institutional change targeted at maximizing student success.

(C) SIGNIFICANCE OF PROJECT AND RATIONALE

TRAIN will award 336 scholarships over five years to about 203 unique students pursuing interdisciplinary natural science degrees at three HSI community colleges (CCs) and at ASU’s West campus (Table 2).

Impact of Community Colleges An important pillar in the U.S. higher-education system, CCs serve a more diverse student body and have lower tuition rates than traditional four-plus-year institutions. In 2008, 49 percent of students earning a STEM bachelor’s degree earned some credits at a CC. Female students and students whose parents do not have a high-school diploma were more likely than other students to attend a CC.7 Though students primarily attended a CC to earn credits toward a bachelor’s degree, only about 15 percent of students who started graduated with a bachelor’s degree within six years.8 While this statistic is discouraging for many reasons, in particular, much of the diverse talent for the U.S.’s future

Figure 1 Students will increase their likelihood of entering, staying in, and graduating from a STEM program with TRAIN’s support structures, which are organized for students to easily, effectively move through each stage, from the moment they are recruited all the way to graduation.

workforce can be found at CCs. Efforts to encourage more of these students to complete STEM degrees is critical to unleashing the full power of available talent.

Participation in STEM by Selected Student Groups Certain groups in the U.S. are underrepre-sented (UR) in STEM fields, reducing the diversity of talent ad-vancing science and technology and im-pacting these groups’ socioeconomic sta-

tus. In 2015, 32.5 percent of all U.S. citizens over age 24 earned at least a bachelor’s degree, but this achievement is not evenly distributed across races and ethnicities or by gender. African-Americans and Hispanics earn bachelor’s degrees at lower rates—15.5 and 22.5 percent, respectively. Overall, only 11.6 percent of minority students earn degrees in math or statistics, 15.1 percent in biosciences, 19.4 percent in computer sciences.9 In 2002, women accounted for 27.5 percent of all computer science bachelor degrees, declining to 18.2 percent in 2012. During the same period, women’s completion of math and statistics bachelor’s degrees dropped from 46.9 percent 43.1 percent. At the doctoral level, their representation is even lower. Despite efforts to broaden representation within STEM, these societal groups still experience disproportionate barriers to completing a four-year degree.

Preparation and Institutional Barriers: Acai and Newton compared the academic performance and learning styles of CC transfer students to those of direct-entry high-school students and found them to be the same.10

However, despite similar abilities, Whitfield found transfer students did not perform as well the direct-entry students in an upper-division biochemistry course, even when they performed similarly in organic chemistry.She attributed these differences to misaligned curriculum in prerequisite courses between the CC and four-

year institution and stressed how important it is for two-and four-year institutions to communicate.11 Transfer students are also less likely to participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities, which are important for social integration. More socially integrated female students had higher GPAs at graduation.12 Interventions, such as finan-cial and academic support, and social integration effortshave proven very successful for recruiting, retaining, and graduating transfer students.13 TRAIN integrates these interventions into the proposed student support structures.

Financial Barriers: Driven by financial constraints, about half of high-achieving, lower socioeconomic status (SES) high-school graduates “undermatched,” meaning they applied to and attended academically lower-regarded institutions than their qualifications suggested.14,15 Under-matching has many implications for student success. Students who attend academically higher ranked schools have a higher likelihood of graduating with a four-year degree, graduate faster, and have better earning potential. They also reap the benefits of more rigorous academicprograms, avail-able student resources, and being surrounded by high-achieving peers.16,17 Overcoming financial barriers and providing financial support are important for attracting underrepresented students to and helping them finish four-year STEM programs.

Table 2 TRAIN will award 336 scholarships over five years to approximately 203 unique students at three HSI CCs and at ASU, varying annually between 51 and 84. The number and size of scholarships were determined from analyses of historical data of student needat TRAIN-member institutions. We assume 1.5 years of scholarship support for each student at the community colleges and two for each ASU student.

Family Knowledge Capital: First-generation college students have less family knowledge they can draw on to guide them through the educational process. Parents without a college education—regardless of ethnicity—have a difficult time knowing how to support their children in college.18 First-generation college students also tend to be more collectivistic and less individualistic, meaning they prefer to work together to solve conflicts. This mindset induces stress and negative emotions and causes them to struggle in an individualistic college environment.19 Encouraging students to participate in cooperative peer groups benefited first-generation college students as well as Hispanic and female students. To foster a learning environment amenable to a more collectivistic mindset, we will make integrating participants with their peers a priority in our program, as reflected in our support structures.

Study Cohort The campuses comprising TRAIN serve a large Hispanic student population. Almost 22 percent of ASU’s undergraduates are Hispanic (ranking fifth nationally among institutions awarding bachelor’s degrees to Hispanics 20), and its West campus—where our consortium will be headquartered—consists of more than 26 percent Hispanic students. Twenty-six percent of MCCCD’s entire student body is Hispanic, while each of our three CC partners range between 33–46 percent. These demographics provide an ideal opportunity to increase underrepresented groups numbers and success in STEM fields.

Hispanic students often undermatch;21 their academic success in college is influenced by peer support,22,23

parental expectations for college, parental encouragement to persist, student educational values, whether peers are going to college, and high-school rigor and academic achievement.24,25 How well they adjusted to college during their first played an important role, as well, emphasizing the importance of the community-college-university connection.

Overcoming Barriers: What Works? The literature reports myriad effective strategies for retaining students in STEM: faculty mentoring, peer mentoring, cohort-building activities, scholarships, travel awards (to attend research conferences), academic skills courses (boot camps), relevant curriculum, and undergraduate research. A number of these studies focused on specific underrepresented groups, such as women, low-income, racial/ethnic minorities.12,13, 27-36 Many of these strategies have been used in parallel. Some work because they help students to develop identities as scientists, as part of the scientific community.29,36 Establishing learning communities (such as study groups) and research teams provides student access to peers and faculty who understand their struggles and achievements.30

Promising Strategies for Low-income Students: Students who received information packets with application fee waivers, guidance about how to apply, and expected net costs (after scholarships/aid) submitted 19 percent more applications and were 41 percent more likely to enroll in a selective “match” school.37 Having peer mentors reach out to prospective students before they started college also increased enrollment rates by 3 and 4.5 percent, respectively.38 Bettinger and Baker found that one-on-one college coaching increased retention by 14 percent and graduation rates by 4 percent over a two-year period.39 Student support groups, peer advising, and organized study groups combined with scholarship aid are more effective with helping students persist and graduate, as compared to scholarships alone.40-42

Mindset and Persistence: TRAIN will also work to change how we describe and encourage students within our institutions. When faculty and staff use “deficit discourse” to describe certain groups students (for example, using the terms “underprepared” or “at-risk”), they reinforce popular perceptions that these students are somehow less—less prepared, less capable, less persistent—rather than examining how their institutions fail to serve their entire student body.43 A national longitudinal study found institutional factors significantly contributed to why underrepresented groups were less likely to persist in STEM majors.28

Similarly, students who receive encouragement throughout their education are more likely to thrive. For example, in STEM education, people often subscribe to either the idea of a fixed or an incremental, growth mindset.44,45 Students who receive process praise as opposed to person praise are more likely to persist when solving challenging problems because they think of their ability as malleable, that they can be successful through practice.46 Furthermore, students who are taught that intelligence is malleable perform better on math assessments.47

(D) ACTIVITIES ON WHICH THE CURRENT PROJECT BUILDS

Our consortium builds on our investigators’ prior NSF and existing academic and student support to maximize TRAIN scholar entry and success at ASU. Our partnered CCs demonstrate best practices that include UR students and encourage them to choose, complete degrees in, and find careers in STEM fields. They will be able to take advantage of existing infrastructure in a large district like MCCCD to further their success. Supported by a coordinating district office, each CC’s Office of Institutional Research can facilitate the collaboration and communication necessary for tracking, reporting, and supporting TRAIN.

Phoenix College’s awards (0063113, 1154625) built an effective recruitment, selection, and support process. Its current S-STEM program has recruited a largely UR STEM student population, of whom over 80 percent transferred to a four-year university. Cohort success rates increased from 75 to 90 percent (year 1 to year 3).2 A previous Title V (Developing HSI) grant established computer labs in the math and science departments and created a student success initiative that includes free tutoring resources, targeted math tutoring, counseling, and advising (including resources for working with first-generation, low-income, and disabled students). Phoenix College’s dual enrollment program partners with schools in the Phoenix Union High School District to offer courses like pre-calculus and calculus that have been identified as attrition points for STEM student success; these students are more likely to qualify for financial aid and be URMs.

Glendale CC’s TUES support created a pipeline between ASU and GCC through enhancing curriculum in organic chemistry and biotechnology at GCC. Students in these courses visited ASU’s West campus to use instruments (including high-field NMR and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry) and to work with faculty. They presented their work at a research symposium. Students and external evaluators said these efforts highly encouraged students to persist and transfer to a university to pursue a STEM degree. A $2.4 million Title V grant created, coordinated, and integrated student support services to increase the access, retention, and transfer rates of high-need STEM students. The program expands existing STEM activities to reflect best practices, particularly in intrusive advising and support services. Though this award does not provide for scholarships, the Title V grant created infrastructure that can be best used by S-STEM scholarships.3

ASU’s support structures, including its partnerships with MCCCD, help transfer students persist and succeed, as shown in the TUES award with GCC (1044463). Its West campus has a robust, STEM-focused TRiO Student Support Services program, which includes mentoring, tutoring, and cohort building as well as workshops for research and experimental design, career planning, writing, and building social capital.West campus also hosts tutoring and writing centers and a peer-mentoring program and provides supplemental instruction for critical courses. ASU’s New College Undergraduate Inquiry and Research Experiences (NCUIRE) program—also located on West campus—gives undergraduates an avenue to collaborate on authentic research with faculty members. The program provides a stipend or academic credit to students, and students who participated have been remarkably successful as they enter the workforce or apply to graduate school. One received a NSF Pre-Doctoral Fellowship, and the year-to-year retention rate for transfer students who participate in the NCUIRE program is 98 percent.

(E) S-STEM PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN

Our management plan ensures our consortium is effective and efficient, but respects the autonomy andvalues of the organization involved. ASU is the lead institution (T. San-drin) and SMCC (A. Scarbrough), PC (A. Chapman), and GCC (J. Tuohy) have equal investment and representation. High-level admini-strators will participate on an advisory board, meeting annually with the project management group

2 82 percent of students in PC’s S-STEM program are from UR groups. Figures based on most current year for which data is available.3 See letter of support from GCC Title V Grant Coordinator, Elena Beltran.

to discuss accomplishments, challenges, and new developments. Independent external evaluators will assess our initiative.

The project management group—composed of the PI and all Co-PIs—will meet monthly and interface with the Resource Teams at each institution (see g. Student Support Services and Programs). Each management role and task and a project timeline are outlined in Table 6. PIs, Co-PIs, and faculty/staff partners from each institution will communicate through an online shared space showing current operating procedures in a wiki format, which can be updated in real time with knowledge and experience gained as the program matures, students evolve, and we incorporate evaluation.

(F) STUDENT AND SELECTION CRITERIA

Students will be selected using two main criteria—(1) financial need, (2) academic talent—which will be applied uniformly across institutions. We define low-income (financially needy) students using the U.S. Department of Education’s rules for federal financial aid.48,49 TRAIN Scholars must meet these criteria: Cost of Attendance (COA) minus the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) is greater than zero. Income will be stratified as a category on a selection rubric with the highest-need students receiving the highest score. The second main criterion, academic talent, is defined by a multi-dimensional rubric, including a student’s academic history, communication skills, math and science background, and soft skills. We will also weigh students’ commitment to STEM through activities like internships or volunteer work. This selection process has been successfully implemented on other awards (0220800, 1154625, 0631133).

We will recruit students primarily through outreach to current community college students at participating institutions and to Phoenix Union High School District (PUHSD). PUHSD is made of 17 schools servingover 27,000 students, of whom 95 percent are underrepresented minorities; 81 percent are Hispanic. Andrew Chapman, a Co-PI from Phoenix College, and a PUHSD faculty member will serve as the recruit-ment liaison for the project. He will host a training session each semester for PUHSD faculty to learn about the TRAIN program and how to support their students in applying. He will also coordinate one research presentation each year at a PUHSD school, during which TRAIN students, college faculty, high-school faculty, and high-school students can interact and learn from each other about their TRAIN experience. Recruiting materials will be distributed by PIs from each CC and made available both physically and electronically (via newsletters, websites, email lists, orientations, and involvement fairs) to PUHSD students, faculty, and counselors. This student recruitment plan was developed using lessons learned from previous S-STEM support (00220800, 1154625, 0631133), where recruiting students posed a challenge.

(G) S-STEM STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES

Through CCs and ASU, TRAIN Scholars will have access to support structures that maximize their aca-demic performance and give them the best odds for success. PC already uses an effective system to recruit, retain, support, and graduate S-STEM students. We will refine, expand, and adapt that process for SMCC and GCC, then extend it to ASU. These support structures include: faculty academic mentors (FAM), a resource team (RT), research mentors (RM), cohort participation, authentic experiences, and scholarships.

Faculty Academic Mentors (FAM) Developed in concert with each student, faculty advisor, and academic advising office, the Individual Education Plan (IEP) has been used successfully on PC’s last two S-STEM awards (0631133 and 1154625) and will translate easily to TRAIN. Each TRAIN Scholar’s IEP will serve as a framework for evaluating student progress through the CC, then transfer with the student to ASU. FAMs at the CC (and later at ASU) will meet with TRAIN Scholars at least twice per semester. Additional meetings, if needed, might address grades, career, or research questions. To guide the tone (see Overcoming Barriers) and focus on the needs of the transfer student, ASU will develop questions or talking points for FAM meetings. Additionally, once at ASU, TRAIN mentees will participate in at least two group meetings, which include all of the TRAIN mentees under a single (or group of) ASU FAM(s). These meetings will address managing time, studying skills, writing habits, effectively communicating with faculty, managing expectations, and life as first-generation college students. Subjects to be addressed during the academicyear will be decided by the FAMs based on their knowledge of the mentees and their experiences and other information gathered as the program progresses. These will include preparing for an NCUIRE or other re-search experience or internship (see Research Mentors below).

FAMs will be compensated based upon the number of mentees that they serve. Possible compensation mechanisms include professional development funds (for less than 4 mentees per semester), supplemental salary (for less than 8 mentees per semester), or possible course release (for 8 or more mentees per semester). This purposefully allows for some flexibility, as different faculty have different needs and seek different mechanisms for rewarding their mentoring efforts. These guidelines may be revised as needed once the program is established. A key goal here is to develop a workable reward system that is sustainable after the TRAIN grant has ended.

Resource Team (RT) Comprised of faculty, staff, and/or administrators at each institution, the RT will connect scholarship recipients to support services and helps students evaluate and meet their academic needs. The RT was developed between PC’s S-STEM projects and proved successful on their second one.As mentioned previously, TRAIN Scholars at the CCs and ASU will have access to academic support services, including the Writing and Tutoring Centers, and STEM-based student clubs that connect students with each other, with faculty, and with professionals. At ASU, Supplemental Instruction will be provided for transfer gateway courses with high failure rates. The RT will ensure TRAIN Scholars enroll together in common sections of key gateway courses (at the CC and ASU) and help them develop study groups. Many TRAIN Scholars will be eligible for the STEM-TRiO Student Support Services Program (eligibility based on income, first-generation, status, or disability), which includes tutoring, mentoring, and workshops.

Research Mentors (RM) At ASU, TRAIN mentees may participate in the NCUIRE allowing them to have a funded research experience in the laboratory of an ASU faculty member. The NCUIRE program provides funding not only for the student but for the faculty member, ensuring ample supplies for research projects. Projects culminate in a poster presented at an open, on-campus symposium each spring, and typically,NCUIRE scholars also present their work at regional and national scientific meetings. School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences (SMNS) pays any registration costs for these meetings for their students, which would include TRAIN mentees. We will include funding in the TRAIN program for every student to participate as an NCUIRE scholar if they choose, however, TRAIN mentees will still have to identify a faculty research mentor, complete the application process, and be competitive for the program. Faculty Academic Mentors will be tasked with helping TRAIN mentees prepare for and be competitive for the NCUIRE program, if the mentees so desire.

TRAIN mentees who choose not to participate in NCUIRE can participate in either internships (directed through New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences’ (NCIAS) internship program) or in Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs). SMNS already offers CUREs each semester ledby research faculty on a variety of topics. Students enroll for credit and work on group projects related to the course’s theme, yet projects still typically culminate in a research poster presented at our on-campus

NSF S-STEM Transfer to Interdisciplinary Natural Sciences (TRAIN)

11

symposium and/or regional and national scientific meetings. New College students often continue their work after completing a CURE and end up as NCUIRE scholars.

Peer Mentors (PM) New College at ASU West has a well-established, highly successful PM program for engaging and retaining freshmen, which we will extend to TRAIN transfer students. First-year students who had a PM had higher retention rates and GPAs than those who did not. TRAIN PM at ASU will: (1) meet one-on-one weekly or biweekly with their TRAIN mentee to discuss performance, study habits, awareness and use of existing campus resources on campus, personal adjustment to the university; (2) attend 3 hours of core courses with the students and host group tutorial and study sessions for those courses; (3) meet regularly with the core-course instructors and their supervisor to discuss student progress and concerns; (4) update the ASU retention dashboards; (5) attend two days of training before the Spring 2018 semester begins and meet weekly with Transfer Fellows to stay current on student resources and needs; and (6) assist with faculty programs and orientation events and outreach to incoming TRAIN students.

As with the FAM, our goal is a permanent PM program for transfer students that persists after the grant ends. Students who participate in the TRAIN program in their second year would be required to serve as PMs for the incoming TRAIN students. In the first year, when TRAIN mentees exist, we will recruit PMs.

Career Counseling and Job Placement FAMs will also discuss career counseling, job placement, and grad school opportunities during their meetings with TRAIN mentees. Representatives from ASU’s Career Services will attend select TRAIN group meetings and present available services to faculty and students.

Cohort Participation A virtual cohort (modeled after PC’s current S-STEM program) will connect scholar-ship recipients, mentors, and advisors with and the community through weekly blogs about their authentic experience. These student blogs are connected, organized, and accessed through a mentor blog. Students then discuss the blog posts of their peers within a protected Learning Management System (LMS). FAMs monitor, interact, and support their mentees through this virtual cohort model. This model has helped non-traditional students overcome issues encountered in previous CSEMS and S-STEM projects (0220800 and 0631133), where work, familial, and cultural obligations have posed barriers. In addition to the virtual cohort, students can join STEM student clubs at each campus. Once TRAIN Scholars transfer to ASU, they will be grouped by disciplinary interests to effectively mentor and blend students from different CCs into one group.However, they will still have opportunities to share their experiences and findings with the larger cohort to more easily transfer information between disciplines. Each semester, we will organize at least two group meetings, which will address common issues, such as managing time and expectations, study skills, writing habits, effectively communicating with faculty, and life as a transfer student. TRAIN Scholars will also participate together in professional development activities and optional field trips.

Undergraduate Research and Internship (Authentic) Experiences Students will have authentic experiences available to them throughout their four years as TRAIN Scholars, including undergraduate research experiences, professional internships, or field and lab work. These experiences stimulate student interest in and enjoyment of science and more accurately picture for students what scientists do, influencing their perceptions of science, helping them gain confidence and persistence, which can lead to plans to enroll in a STEM graduate program.29,30,33,34,51

Our CCs and ASU offer CUREs to engage students in authentic research, but on a more standard course-like schedule, a requirement for many of our students. At ASU, TRAIN Scholars may also participate in NCUIRE (see section (D)), providing an authentic research experience in an ASU professor’s lab. Research projects culminate in a poster presented at an on-campus symposium each spring, and typically, NCUIRE scholars will also present their work at regional and national scientific meetings. Many students complete a CURE and, with their newfound confidence, apply to be NCUIRE scholars. A program available to TRAIN Scholar at ASU’s New College (West campus) directs internships, many which are STEM-related.

TRAIN students will be required to participate in activities uniting them as a cohort, but we will do everything possible to make sure our predominantly non-traditional students can flexibly meet this requirement. They will not, per se, be required to participate in a research experience or an internship. We will plan complementary experiences that help students develop their professional identity, such as field trips to sites with STEM significance, research presentations, and seminars; visits from ASU STEM faculty (to MCCCD campuses); and observing or evaluating semi-annual S-STEM project presentations.

Additional mentors will oversee connecting authentic experiences and cohort participation to the scholarship recipient’s academic experience. Students who work individually with a mentor have increased success outcomes.52 Students who received more detailed STEM-related career information reported being encouraged by teachers and friends to pursue their math and science interests, had better self-competence, and were more likely to persist in STEM classes and majors.53,54,55

Scholarships Scholarships for low-income students increase enrollment, retention, and graduation rates.56

During the 2007–2008 academic year, about two-thirds of students received financial aid—52 percent in the form of grants, 39 percent in loans.7 CCs attract low-income students because of their affordability, but these students seldom go on to earn their bachelor’s degrees because they overestimate the cost to attend a four-year institution and are unaware of available financial aid.57 Scholarships and astute financial counseling are essential for making bachelor’s degrees affordable for these students.

(H) QUALITY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

South Mountain CC: Serving the most diverse, most urban parts of the Phoenix area, SMCC offers small, personalized classes, certificates, and associate degrees to about 6,000 students, of whom 70 percent arefirst-generation college students, and 48 percent intend to transfer to a university. More than 75 percent of these students identify as one or more minorities, making SMCC a federally designated Minority Serving and Hispanic Serving Institution. Its strengths include information technology, health sciences—notably its Bilingual Nursing Fellowship program (along with Phoenix College)—and its STEM-related TRIO program.

Glendale CC: Over 500,000 students have completed associate degrees, certification programs, industry-specific training, university transfer programs, or credit classes since GCC opened in 1965. It offers over 80 career and technical education programs and 18 academic programs, ten of which are intended for university transfer. GCC deeply commits to its comprehensive mission, as evident in its strong transfer and occupational programs, non-credit and customizable training programs and partnerships with K–12, business and industry, municipalities, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations.

Phoenix College Over 30,000 students enroll in over 150 degree and certificate programs, preparing them for university transfer, career training, and advancement. Its students benefit from articulation agreements with Arizona’s three major universities, including ASU. Partnership Pathway (MAPP) options in STEM, which earn participating students an Associate in Science degree, satisfies the appropriate Arizona General Education Curriculum, meets major requirements at ASU, and guarantees admission to specific STEM bachelor’s degree programs.

ASU is nationally known as a thought leader in higher education, having earned U.S. News and World Report’s top ranking in the nation for innovation two years in a row. It emphasizes inclusion and access to world-class educational programs to a broad, diverse population and has a student population mirroring the demographics of the diverse metropolitan Phoenix community in which it is embedded.

(I) GENERATION OF KNOWLEDGE

The TRAIN project will help us better understand the efficacy of various student support structures (i.e., interventions) and how each impacts the success of academically talented, low-income students. Within this cohort, we will also explore how certain sub-populations may be impacted differently, focusing on the experiences of the low-income Hispanic students in our cohort, since most of our students will be transfers from HSIs. As discussed earlier in the proposal, many types of interventions can retain and motivate students in STEM education, but they may work differently based on the student’s ethnic, racial, gender identities and familial and educational history.

We will also examine which types of interventions will yield better returns on investment. For example, some interventions are relatively low cost, such as supplemental instruction, while others are more expensive, such as summer undergraduate research experiences. Each is likely to have different benefits in terms of number of students reached and their effectiveness. Previous work has demonstrated that interventions engaging students and supporting their learning have the potential to be successful.59 However, little is known about how to optimize these educational interventions to generate the most benefit for the least cost.

Research Questions

Which interventions best support our diverse transfer student population—overall and for each sub-population of students (by race, ethnicity, gender, STEM area of study, and family status)? Which interventions are most cost-effective for supporting transfer students? Is cost efficiency of program interventions different by student sub-population?Do certain combinations of interventions work together to better support students’ retention, transfer, and graduation than stand-alone activities?

Data Collection We will work with student success coordinators and data managers at each partner institution to gather information about student participation in TRAIN student support activities and student retention, transfer and graduation. These teams will ensure students complete online surveys related to student self-reported parameters of self-efficacy, science interests and attitudes, their sense of belonging and motivations, and comfort with their peer group and mentors. The generation of knowledge team (Co-PIs P. Marshall and S. Sandrin) will conduct individual and group interviews with students, faculty, and staff.

Instruments Employed We will document changes to various student metacognition factors and each student’s sense of belonging (in STEM and to their cohort) as a result of participation in TRAIN interventionsusing surveys and interviews. We will use and adapt published, validated instruments, such as the Motiva-tional Strategies and Learning Questionnaire and the Science Motivation Questionnaire II.60-62 Additionally, we will assess changes to the students’ view of intelligence, often referred to as “mindset,” which is a strong indicator of persistence with challenging course works, using Dweck’s theory of intelligence scale.63

Many students, especially low-income, first-generation students, suffer from a sense of isolation that maylead them to drop out. We will also yearly assess TRAIN students’ and a set of non-TRAIN students’ (as matched controls) feelings of belonging to determine if our program makes more students feel they fit in.64

Finally, because persistence is a key measurable outcome, we will ask students who leave the program before graduation or who graduate with a four-year degree to describe their experiences using a modified form of either the Students Leaving Engineering Survey or the Students Persisting in Engineering Survey.65

Research Design Using mixed-methods research affords us both wide and focused views of the students’ experiences. Quantitative and qualitative instruments will be used to collect information from students, faculty and staff, as outlined in Table 7. We will compare findings from our TRAIN students with control transfer student groups from ASU and MCCCD who are not in the TRAIN cohort. Analyzing quantitative data from all students and involved faculty will paint a picture of the impact of interventions on the entire student body and on certain sub-populations, such as Hispanic or female students.

We will develop a multivariate model to compare students’ support structures (i.e., interventions) with student success metrics, such as STEM retention rate, transfer rates from CCs to four-year institutions, and

bachelor-degree graduation rates. We will also examine relationships between students who participate in interventions, their metacognition factors (such as self-efficacy and motivation), their sense of belonging, and how they change over time—for both the whole group and for individuals. Co-PI Mooney will work with PIs and administrators to track each intervention’s costs, then combine them with our findings concerning each intervention’s efficacy and number of students served, allowing us to identify the most cost-effective student support structures, that is, the suite of services that gives the best outcomes for the lowest cost.

To make certain we are not just providing support structures that enable students of majority groups in our cohort to succeed, we will conduct both one-on-one and group interviews with students, faculty, and staff to learn more about their involvement in TRAIN, which interventions benefited them the most, and which ones the least. We will meet with students at different stages of their experience—including post-recruitment at community college campuses (to assess the types of structures they are seeking), on transferring to ASU, and when they graduate—to analyze each student’s self-efficacy, motivation, science identity, and comfort in participating in TRAIN activities and their STEM courses.

(J) ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION

External evaluation will be conducted by an independent fee-for-service evaluation entity, the College Research and Evaluation Services Team (CREST), who has evaluated numerous NSF, USAID, and Department of Education-funded projects for ASU. CREST evaluators are not part of the S-STEM research team and are completely independent of the project. Their reports will inform the research team where appropriate and allow us to adapt and improve the TRAIN initiative over the course of its funding.

An external evaluation auditor will also be hired to review all evaluation documents and assess TRAIN project objectives annually using feedback from academia, industry, and stakeholders. The auditor willreport any issues to CREST and the project management team.

Implementation Evaluation Evaluators will gather insights on how the program was implemented across MCCCD and ASU and what services its provides to which students in what contexts. The implementation evaluation data will help evaluators understand the context and process in which student learning and outcomes are occurring. Data managers at each site will share institutional and project data with the CREST team on request.

The evaluation team will have a bird’s-eye view of the project that allows a unique opportunity to assess the partnership overall, and to compare successes and rooms for improvement at each partnering institution. For example, each partnering institution will employ a slightly different administrative structure to provide student interventions, and yet, the goals of each institution are the same. The evaluation team will identify optimal structures that should be shared across institutions and suggest strategies to improve partner communications and program implementation. They will also examine each institution’s suite of interventions to determine if they offer all TRAIN cohort students comparable sets of interventions.

Outcome/Impact Evaluation To determine the success of the project’s key expected outcome—recruiting, retaining, and graduating low-income, academically talented students currently underrepresented in STEM fields—the evaluation team will analyze descriptive data of the baseline counts compared to annual recruitment, retention, and graduation rates for the selected campuses. Trend analysis will be used to examine key stages where students are dropping out of the program, so the project PIs can create appropriate intervention strategies for subsequent cohorts. In addition to student counts, evaluative interviews will collect student (both students who are retained and those who leave) feedback on their program experiences (highlights and challenges).

SUMMARY OF PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS (If there are measures or goals that

are not meeting expected progress, please describe steps being taken to address any issues or

barriers.)

All of our scholarship recipients thus far have chosen to participate in an optional

undergraduate research experience either on the Phoenix College campus, Arizona State

University campus, or the Translational Genomics Research Institute. Students worked with

their faculty mentor and research advisor, and spent approximately nine hours per week in the

lab to complete the project. Students had the option of enrolling in a special projects course in

biology or mathematics to receive credit for their work. All students have presented their

research in a public forum such as the Arizona Nevada Academy of Sciences and the ASU

New College Undergraduate Research Symposium.

Qualitatively, student participants feel that the program has made a significant impact, and are

excited about and engaged in the process of science. Commonly, students report becoming

excited about research and wishing to pursue an advanced degree.

SUMMARY OF PROJECT

The TRAIN Consortium is a partnership between Arizona State University New College (ASU

West) and the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) to create a Phoenix-

area consortium between three Hispanic-serving, MCCCD colleges (SMCC, PC, and GCC)

and ASU to recruit, transfer, retain, and graduate low-income, academically talented students

from populations that are underrepresented in STEM fields. The project will provide

innovative student learning opportunities through faculty-guided undergraduate research to

promote a higher level of achievement and a foundation for degree completion and university

transfer.

SUMMARY OF PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS (If there are measures or goals that

are not meeting expected progress, please describe steps being taken to address any issues or

barriers.)

Enter highlights, accomplishments, and achievements. If there are measures or goals that are

not meeting expected progress, please describe steps being taken to address any issues or

barriers.

In addition to bonding with their peers at SMCC, students make connections and mentors at

ASU. They become clear on their degree pathways and most importantly they undertake

research and internships which gives them workplace connections and experience.

In a wider context, a collaboration between SMCC and the ASU New College has been

developed and strengthened. Pathways to Bachelor’s degrees have been clarified and

programs that were not previously sought after are now being undertaken. I expect that the

numbers of students transferring into these programs will grow as a result of this initiative.

CONSENT AGENDA ACTION ITEM

Governing Board Agenda Meeting Date May 26, 2020

Item Number Item Title Responsible Agents 11.7 Approval of Intergovernmental Agreement

with Pascua Yaqui Tribe and South Mountain Community College to Provide a Career

Technical Education Program

Dr. Karla Fisher Dr. Shari Olson

Recommendation It is recommended that the Governing Board approve an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Pascua Yaqui Tribe (PYT) and South Mountain Community College (SMCC) for the offering of providing the Tribe with a Career Technical Education (“CTE”) program. Justification The Pascua Yaqui Tribe is one of 23 federally recognized tribes within Arizona. Their main reservation is located in Tucson with remote land in the town of Guadalupe. South Mountain Community College has a great collaborative partnership with both the Town and the Tribe. The Pascua Yaqui Tribe is a recipient of the NACTEP (Native American Career and Technical Education Program) grant that allows participants to attend a higher education institute to complete a certificate or degree program. SMCC's CCLs (certificate of completion) and degree programs are aligned with workforce priorities within the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. This agreement benefits not only the tribe as a whole but also the individual's personal success to begin a new career. For these reasons we believe this IGA is in the best interests of SMCC and ask that it be approved.

Governing Board Agenda Meeting Date: May 26, 2020

Item Number Item Title Responsible Agents 11.9 Approve U.S. Small Business

Administration Award for Arizona Small Business Development Center Network

Dr. Karla Fisher

Recommendation It is recommended that the Governing Board approve acceptance of a FY 2019 Final Funding Increase Award in the amount of $2,511,146 from the U.S. Small Business Administration to the Maricopa County Community College District for the America’s Small Business Development Center Arizona Network. This includes a $69,231 increase in Federal Funding. The extended period of performance is January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2020.

Justification Maricopa County Community College District acts as the “managing partner” for the America’s Small Business Development Center Arizona Network (The Network). The other partners are nine of Arizona’s community college districts. The Network provides business counseling, training, information resources and referral services to small business owners, prospective owners and students. The Network delivers these services through ten SBDC Service Centers, one of which is located within Maricopa Community Colleges, as well as through a number of satellite and “circuit rider” sites throughout the State of Arizona.

America’s SBDC Arizona Network partners with the colleges in serving students in a number of ways including:

● Providing an overview of SBDC services at the beginning of each semester for the entrepreneurial and small business classes.

● Providing one-on-one counseling to students who want to start or grow businesses. ● Supporting student and community incubators such as: Center for Entrepreneurial Innovation (CEI)

at Gateway Community College, the Community Entrepreneurship Education Center at South Mountain Community College and the Entrepreneurship Education Center at Paradise Valley Community College.

● Presenting workshops in conjunction with the colleges. ● Conducting workshops and classes for student participation regarding starting and/or growing a

business and other vital business topics. The program’s focus is on stimulating economic development in the communities served by the Network by helping small businesses grow, sustain and remain competitive. During 2019, it is anticipated the Network will offer one-on-one counseling and/or training to over 4,000 small business owners.

This represents a continuation of the cooperative agreement reached between the SBA and Maricopa County Community Colleges at the beginning of 1993. The contract allocates $740,772 to the Network Lead Center Office, which is a part of Maricopa Community Colleges, $668,465 to the Maricopa Community Colleges SBDC Center (one of the SBDC Centers) and $1,101,909 to the other SBDC Centers in the State of Arizona.

Arizona Small Business Development Center Network-Procurement Technical

Assistance Center

Dr. Karla Fisher

Recommendation It is recommended that the Governing Board approve acceptance of a negotiated contract for $413,793 from the U.S. Department Defense Logistics Agency, Office of Small Business Programs, to the Maricopa Community Colleges. The contract was awarded for the Arizona Small Business Development Center Network to operate the Arizona Procurement Technical Assistance Center for the period of September 1, 2019 – August 31, 2020. Justification Maricopa Community College, the “managing partner” in the Arizona Small Business Development Center Network (AZSBDC), has been awarded the contract to operate the Arizona Procurement Technical Assistance Center (AZPTAC). The AZSBDC Network provides business counseling, training, and information resources to current and prospective small business owners. The AZPTAC services are offered in parallel with those of the AZSBDC Network, which significantly enhance programs and services offered to entrepreneurs and small businesses. The Network’s statewide SBDC infrastructure and partnerships have provided a strong base for the collaborating and leveraging of these additional resources to benefit small businesses. For the contract year that will end August 31, 2019, the AZPTAC worked with 304 new businesses and 28 of those businesses were women owned. Two hundred and ninety eight small, disadvantaged, and 66 veteran owned businesses were also assisted and AZPTAC clients were awarded 988 contracts for more than $119M in prime and subprime contracts. Since 2012, the AZPTAC has 1272 active businesses with more than 2000 business that are in the client database. Through the AZPTAC, the AZSBDC Network will be able to provide specialized and professional technical assistance to individuals and businesses that are seeking to pursue and successfully perform contracting and subcontracting opportunities with the Department of Defense, other federal agencies, and/or state and local governments. This specialized and professional assistance will include targeted outreach and counseling services to small businesses, particularly those that are veteran owned and/or otherwise underserved.

CONSENT AGENDA ACTION ITEM

Governing Board Agenda Meeting Date May 26, 2020

Item Number Item Title Responsible Agents 12.1 Approve Renewal of

MCCCD’s Student Insurance FY2021 Dr. James Moore

Recommendation It is recommended that the Governing Board approve the renewal of our student insurance policies per the attached schedule for FY 2020-21 – effective August 1, 2020 through July 31, 2021 to Mutual of Omaha (Accident) and Mutual of Omaha (Catastrophic) and effective August 11, 2020 through August 10, 2021 to Wellfleet Insurance Company, formerly Commercial Casualty Insurance (International). These policies are renewed annually. Justification The District has contracted with Relation Insurance Services to provide brokerage services for our student insurance program that covers all enrolled students on a secondary coverage basis for athletic injuries and student accidents, special accident coverage for student travel, student catastrophic accidents, intercollegiate catastrophic accidents, and international students. The District pays for these coverages except for international student insurance.

Accident/Tripster

This plan covers all enrolled students on a secondary coverage basis for athletic injuries and student accidents. Mutual of Omaha, the incumbent carrier, is proposing a 19% increase to the cost of the Accident/Tripster plan, resulting in a new annual premium of $751,771. This is due to the 18-19 claims being much higher than projected at last year’s renewal and the 19-20 claims trending on the higher end... Mutual of Omaha’s proposed premium factors in anticipated medical trend increases based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Having Mutual of Omaha as the carrier for both the Accident/Tripster and Student/ICS Catastrophic plans makes the transition from Accident to Catastrophic claims payments seamless.

Student/ICS Catastrophic This plan provides excess coverage over the Accident/Tripster maximum for all enrolled students for athletic injuries and student accidents. Mutual of Omaha is proposing no change to the cost of the Student/ICS Catastrophic plan, keeping the annual premium of $97,601. Mutual of Omaha remains the only carrier that will quote this coverage.

International SHIP Wellfleet Insurance Company, formerly Commercial Casualty Insurance (incumbent), is proposing a 3% increase to the cost of the International plan, resulting in a new annual premium of $1,379 based on anticipated medical trend increases per the Consumer Price Index (CPI) utilization history, enrollment participation. The plan includes an option of coverage for spouse and dependents at the same rate the student pays. Attached is a comparison of premiums for these coverages between FY 2019-20 and FY 2020-21.

Governing Board Agenda Meeting Date: May 26, 2020

Item Number Item Title Responsible Agents 12.2 Job Order Contracting Purchase Order

for Administration Building Roofing Replacement at

Glendale Community College

Dr. James Moore Dr. Teresa Leyba-Ruiz

Recommendation We recommend that the Governing Board approve a Job Order Contracting (JOC) Purchase Order in the amount of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Fifty and 69/100ths Dollars ($350,050.69) to

S.D. Crane Builders, Inc.

to replace the roof of the Administration Building at Glendale Community College. Justification The Capital Development Advisory Council reviewed this item at its May 19, 2020 meeting and recommended that it be submitted for Governing Board action. District Facilities Planning and Development (FP&D) and Glendale Community College (GCC) request approval of a purchase order for roof replacement and repairs at the existing Administration Building. The scope of work includes removal of the original R-Mer-Lite metal and single-ply roofing systems, and replacement with the District's standard Spray Foam system, as well as related repairs to the adjacent stucco walls, mechanical curbing and metal flashings, and the roof drainage system. The building has had a number of roof leaks over the years which can no longer be solved on a piecemeal basis. GCC and FP&D have explored both repair and replacement options with WRECorp, the District’s roofing consultant, and due to age and condition of the roof have determined replacement is the best option. SD Crane Builders, Inc. has submitted a cost proposal of $350,050.69 for this work under their existing Roofing JOC Agreement with the Maricopa County Community College District (#3424-2-03). The anticipated completion of repair work is August 2020. The Total Project Budget of $375,000 will be provided from Plant Funds, from the Annual Districtwide Roofing Maintenance program.

Maintenance and Remodel of Building A at Phoenix College

Dr. James Moore Dr. Larry Johnson

Recommendation We recommend that the Governing Board provide Conceptual Approval for the Deferred Maintenance and Remodel of Building A at Phoenix College, with a Total Project Budget of $6,520,000. Justification The Capital Development Advisory Council reviewed this item at its May 19, 2020 meeting and recommended that it be submitted for Governing Board action. Building A (Liberal Arts), is an original Phoenix College building constructed in 1938. The building houses the educational programs of math and liberal arts. Many of the building systems are original and/or obsolete and do not adequately support current educational delivery and efficient operation. In the January 2019 capital assessment report issued by Sightlines, Building A was identified as being one of the top ten buildings on campus for backlogged maintenance needs. The report identified a total of 30 maintenance renovation/system replacement activities needed to bring the building into compliance with current building safety codes, efficient operation, an improved learning environment, and to provide asset preservation. The total cost identified by Deferred Maintenance to renovate the building and systems is $4.1M. The college will supplant its annual deferred maintenance allocation for Fiscal Year 20/21 with college capital to complete the renovation in one phase. Additionally, college funds will be used to consolidate and remodel faculty office suites, which are currently inefficient in design, providing greater access and interaction for students and faculty. The Total Project Budget of $6,520,000 will be provided from Plant Funds, from a combination of Deferred Maintenance and PC Capital funds, as follows: $4,520,000 PC College Capital $2,000,000 Deferred Maintenance

Item Number Item Title Responsible Agents 12.5 Approve Designation of Individual to

Certify Expenditure Limit Report Dr. James Moore

Recommendation It is recommended that the Governing Board approve Mr. Gary Yaquinto, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as the designated individual responsible for the accuracy and certification of the District’s Annual Expenditure Limitation Report. This annual designation is effective for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021. The second page of this Action Item is required to be signed and submitted electronically to the Arizona Auditor General’s website by July 31, 2020. Justification Arizona Revised Statutes §41.1279.07(E) requires that the Governing Board of a political subdivision designate a chief fiscal officer to be responsible to certify the accuracy of the annual expenditure limitation report. This designation is provided to the Auditor General each year. As the Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Yaquinto oversees the development of the district’s annual budget as well as the compilation of the annual financial statements, both of which are integral to the generation of the annual expenditure limitation report.

Governing Board Agenda Meeting Date May 26, 2020

Item Number Item Title Responsible Agents 12.6 Budgeted Expenditure

Amendment for FY 2018-19 Dr. James Moore

Recommendation It is recommended that the Governing Board approve the amendment to budgeted expenditures (shown below) to match what was actually expended in each fund, as per the audited financial statements. Justification Background: The State Constitution establishes expenditure limitations for the State and its political subdivisions and Arizona Revised Statutes §41-1279.07 require community college districts to prepare an Annual Expenditure Limitation Report. The District is subject to an expenditure limitation as calculated by the Economic Estimates Commission. The limitation is designed to control spending of budgeted local revenues (mainly property taxes and state aid) and is adjusted annually for changes in Full Time Student Equivalents (FTSE) and inflation. Annually, District staff request that the Board approve an amendment to reduce the prior year budget to reflect actual spending. The reason for this traces to the Constitutional provision for community colleges, which measures compliance with limitations based on budget amounts. This is an important point since spending is nearly always less than budget. In 1987 and 1988, community college leadership in the State worked with the State’s Auditor and Attorney Generals’ offices to review this provision of law including the types of exclusions (i.e., using actual revenues/spending and resetting the budget as well as revenues that are not subject to the limitation or are excludable). Also reviewed was the ability to carry forward budget capacity that is not used (i.e., since the fact that the adopted budget is greater than actual spending/revenues, there was a review of whether this unused budget capacity may be carried forward to the extent of fund balance for possible use as an excludable revenue in the future). The college districts obtained an Attorney General’s opinion to this effect and the Districts further defined the procedures for reporting on the Expenditure Limitation with the State Auditor General’s Office (see varied letters, opinions, and Board action from 1987 and 1988). By reducing the budget to match actual expenditures, the District resets the base upon which the Expenditure Limitation is measured and maximizes its allowable carryforward. Maximizing the allowable carryforward provides the District with more control and spending capacity in future years. (continued on next page)

Re: I88-017 (R87-166)

•ear Mr. No•ton•

". '.Y0u.hav asked two questions related to the constihutio.na!, e•menditure

The Arizona Constitution establishes limits on the expenditures of counties, cities and towns, Ariz. Const., art. IX., § 20, and on school and community college districts. Ariz. Const., ar•. IX, § 21. Both sections provide.:

The economic estimates commission shall .determine and publish prior to April 1 of each year the.expenditure limitation for •he following fiscal year for each [poli.tical subdivision] The governing board of any [political Subdivision] shall not authorize expenditures of local revenues in excess of •he limitation prescribed

Ariz. Const., art. IX, • 20 and 21.

The limitations are on the expenditure of "local revenues." "Local revenues" include virtually all •eceipts with cert.ain enumerated exceptions. Ariz. Const., art. IX, •§ 20 and 21. These enumerated exceptions, referred to as "excluded

revenues" are not subject to the. expenditure limitation. Ariz. Const., art. IX, • 20(3)(d)(i)-(xiv); Ariz. Const., art. IX• § 21(4)(c)(i)-(iv). Therefore,if the political subdivision is otherwise authorfzed to carry such funds over into a new fiscal year without reversion, such'revenues would retain their character as excluded revenues as long as the source can be identified.

Your second question •s more easily expressed in the context of a hypothetical situation..City A.,•as an expenditure lim£Zation of $500 in year one.: The city has available and authorizes the expenditure of local'revenues in the amoun• of $400 and excluded revenues in the amount of 9100. In year two the City again has-a• expend£ture. limitation of $500. The bity has $600 in local revenues it wishes to expend.in year two. May City A. carry forward the $.100 worth of excluded characte=, even though the actual revenue was spent', in order to c_k= advantage of the exclusions which it did not need in year one? in other words• if a political subdivision expends less in local revenues than. jrwas authorized in one year, .may the excess capacity be carried forward into future yeers?

We conclude that each year's limitations are independent from oneanother and a political subdivision may not. carry forward the excluded nature of revenues already spent. A political subdivision may not change the character of local revenues to excluded revenues by fiction.

The constitutional provisions are clear and unambiguous in requiring the economic estimates commission to determine "the expenditurelimitation for the following fiscal year." Ariz. Const., art. IX, §S 20 and 21. The provisions thereafter prohibit any expenditures in excess of the limitations so determined. There is no authorization in the constitutional provisions for a subdivision to exceed the expenditure limitation determined by the economic estimates commission for a given fiscal year when the subdivision expends less in local revenues than authorized in a prior fiscal year.

Additional g•idance is found in the legislation that was enacted .to implement portions of art. IX,. • 20 and 21. A,R.S. $ 41-1279.07 requires the Auditor General to prescribe a uniform expenditure reporting system for all political subdivisions subject to the constitutional expenditure limitations prescribed by art. IX• • 20 and 21. The section furthe• mandates that the system of uniform reporting shall include:

Furthermore,A.R•S. • 41•1279,07(.G) and (H) provide for "cerZain sanctions., if a subdivision or district exceeds the expenditure limitation prescribed or authorized for any fiscal year without authorization. A constitutional provision and a statuterelating to the same subject must be construed- together. Roberts v. Spray, 71 Ariz. 60, 223 P.td 808 (195•). It is evident that the intent of the. statutes and constitutional provisions is to establish independent yearly limitations.

A political subdivision has only those powers expressly .conferred or necessarily implied by statute or constitutional provision.. E.q_. Pioneer National Trust Compan Z v. Kirk, 121 Ariz. 508,591 P.td 996 (App. 1979) (counties); Sta•e v. Jacobson,.121 Ariz. 65, 588 P.2d 358 (App. 1978)-(municipal corporations); School District No. 69 of Marico•a Couqty v. Altherr, lO Ariz.App. 333, 458 P.2d 537 (1969) (school districts). •here is no statutoryor constitutional authority, express or necessarily implied,.which allows a political subdivision to exceed the constitutional expenditure limitation because of savings of local revenues in previous years.

RESPONSIBLE AGENT EXPENDITURE LIMITATION CAPACITY-CASH/ Dan Whittemore

• C-•, FUND BALANCE CARRY FORWARD Rufus Glasper Marvin Lassila

RECOMMENDATION

That the MCCCD Governing Board approye .the adjustment of Budgeted Expenditures as shown on the attached Exhibit A for the F¥ ]982-83 thE0ugh EY ]985-86. The. above- procedure is needed to accommodate the budgeted usage of Cash/Fund Balance exclusion

!:,on the Annual Budgeted Expenditure Limitation Report.. ..

We are also requesting that the Auditor General's Office be commissioned to reaudit the Expenditure Limitation Reports for FY 1982-83, 83-84, 84-85, and 85-86 so that a cumulative expenditure limitation capacity can be determined upon which the District will be able to draw when cash balances/fund balances are sufficient.

JUSTIFICATION

The District has been working with the Auditor General's staff to get clarification on the proper method to utilize cash/fund balance carry forward

The use of unexpended limitation capacity is a new issue and the Office of the State Auditor General recommends the procedure to maximize the unused revenue capacity. This is done by reducing MCCCD's budget to actual expenditures and then by reducing excludable revenues so that expenditures subject to the expenditure limit is $I less than the expenditure limit.

The Auditor General's Office has concurred that it is permissible for the District to have their Governing Board approve the reduction of budgeted expenditures to be equal to the actual expenditures. This would allow the balance of unused expenditure limitation to be carried forward (Exhibit A).

The above procedure and process was approved as an Informational Item at the Audit & Finance Committee meeting of April 2, 1987 and recommended to be forwarded to the full Board for their review and approval. In addition, at its Saturday, April 18, 19•7 meeting, the State Board of-Directors for CommunityCdl]eges of Arizona recommended the formalization of these procedures in the UniforTh System of Account- ing and Financial Reporting for Arizona Community College Districts.

Dear .•laude:

Our meeting on Hatch 8, 1987 at the I*laricopa Community CoIlege•. District Offices liras uery informatiL•e on a number of issues u.•hich are- uery pertinent to the ArizOna Community Colleges. This letter |sa foIIou.•up and is intended to clarify the understandings that u.•ere reached either at or subsequent to that meeting.

It is our understanding that:

Unused Reuenue Capacity Unused reuenue capacity is an excludable item on the expenditure limitation report. Excludable reuenues shou.m on the expenditure limitation report are not auailable to the calculation of unused reuenue capacity. Unused reuenue capacity •z•hich can be used on the expenditure limitation report in a giuen fiscal uear is limited to the amount of cash carryfor•uard. Due to misunderstandings or misinterp, retations a

District may restate its preuious years' expenditure -.:....,--., ;,

limitation reports in order to make any unused reuenue "

capacity at, ailable for future fiscal years. Unused reuenue capacity is maximized by reducing a '• •"•:••:•"

District's budget to actual expenditures and then by reducing exludable reuenues so thai e•pen•itures. subject to the expenditure limit is $.I less than the "

expenditure limit.

Purchase Payments Lease purchase payments for real property or

equipment are long term debt obligations and, therefore, excludc, ble on the q,,':penditure limitation report. Lease purchase payments are an "expenditure type" exclusion, therefore, any source of reLlenue may be designated to make the payments (ie-state aid, property taxes, bookstore sales, etc.). This, in

essence, could conL•ert local non-e•'.c.ludable re•enues

into excludable ret•enues.

Budgets • Statute prohibits- a District from increasing its budget

once it has- been adopted, but there is no statutory Penalty for otlere.xpending a District's budget.

• Theoretically, a District could budget $0 expenditures in a particular fund and continue to operate as normal Luith no punitiL1e consequences.

If your understanding of the cor:.:l.'.:sions reached in this communication are different than u.•hat •ere e•pressed at our P1arch

IBth meeting, please respond in u.•riting to the President of the

Recommendation It is recommended that the Governing Board approve a one-year extension to the Bookstore contract with Follett. This extension will allow Follett to manage bookstore operations district-wide through June 30, 2021. Justification A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued on October 9, 2019 with the intent of securing a bookstore provider with a contract start date of July 1, 2020. The committee reviewed and scored the proposals and had scheduled on-site interviews when COVID-19 necessitated the companies to impose travel restrictions making it difficult to conduct the interviews. At about the same time the Maricopa Community Colleges shifted to online education and essentially closed all of our campuses. If we followed through with the RFP and it had resulted in an award to a new bookstore provider it would have been extremely difficult to ensure a smooth transition before the students returned in August. We plan on releasing the RFP again in September 2020, with the goal of having a new contract awarded with a contract start date of July 1, 2021.

Budget Analysis Report Fund 1: General Unrestricted Fund

For the Ten Months Ending 4/30/2020

Dr. James Moore

GENERAL NOTE: In FY2019, the Budget Analysis Report for Fund 1 was changed to present the District’s financial information in a monthly budget format. Using monthly data from FY2019 and FY2020, we continue to refine budget and financial reporting practices to reflect how actual expenses and revenue expect to be incurred. Revenue Summary: $661.7M year to date; projected revenue at year end: $716.8M • The two major revenues, property taxes and tuition, are collected in cycles. Tuition revenue is

generally collected at the beginning of each semester while property tax revenue is mostly collected in the fall and spring when semi-annual payments are due from property owners.

• 92.3% of projected revenue have been recognized year to date, which is consistent with the prior year. • Tuition revenue for the year is projected to exceed the amount budgeted due to slightly higher than

expected enrollment. Expenditure Summary: $566.2M year to date; projected expenditure at year end: $710.9M • Expenses for Personal Services and Employee Benefits are generally consistent throughout the

academic year (August through May) as faculty expenses are primarily recognized during this period. Expenses in July and June of each fiscal year are typically lower.

• 79.6% of projected expenditures have been recognized year to date, which is consistent with the prior year. • Contingencies of $4.1M included in the Expenditure Analysis line items in the attached report are not

expected to be expended. • Estimated annual expenses for employee benefits are projecting slightly higher than budget; however,

we believe this is a function of how the monthly budget amounts were calculated and we continue to refine this process. We do not expect actual expenses to exceed the amount budgeted by the close of the fiscal year.

Fund Balance and Financial Stability Requirements • Projections are for the Fund 1 balance to increase by $5.9M (from $203.2M to $209.1M) in FY 19/20. • MCCCD is required to maintain a financial stability balance equal to 10% of the annual projected

revenue. This currently equates to $69.7M. The remaining fund balance of $139.5M is comprised of college carryforward, allowance for student bad debt, potential uncollected tax levy, reserves for potential claims, Campus Works investment, and a projected undesignated balance of $103.1M.

• While the projected undesignated fund balance is expected to be over $103M, there are ongoing expenses that may potentially impact these balances (i.e., technology, transformation, etc.).

• Financial activities of the District comply with the Governing Board Policies, Chancellor Interpretations 2.4 and 2.6, though Restricted Fund revenue collection often lags behind expenditures given that the nature of grants and financial aid is one of reimbursement for expenditures and awards.

• The Governing Board contingency beginning balance is $900,000. The remaining balance as of 4/30/20 is $900,000.

Therefore, the actual amount for this revenue line can fluctuate up and down over the course of the year. The projected revenue is what the District expects the final income amount to be at the end of the fiscal year regardless of the increases and decreases that can occur monthly.

Includes funds recovered from previously written off student debts as well as other small types of revenues.

Includes budget capacity to allow colleges and district office divisions to carry forward up to 3.5% of operating budgets from one fiscal year to the next, enrollment growth funding for the colleges, and contingencies for unanticipated expenses.
