• n resources available to serve nonexempt students.

Overview of Bill Language

EC 78216:

 Clarifies the use of existing matriculation funds for Student Success and Support Program services and BOG’s role in developing criteria for the funding formula.  Identifies some considerations for funding formula, including numbers of students served.

Overview of Bill Language

EC 78216(b)(4):  As a condition of receipt of funds, requires districts to implement common assessment (if using an assessment instrument for placement) and student success scorecard, once these are established by the BOG. EC 78216(b)(5):  Provides BOG with the authority to fund other services, as funding allows. EC 78216(c):  Delineates plan requirements

Overview of Bill Language BOG Fee Waiver Conditions

Student Equity and SSSP

SB 1456 and Student Equity

EC 78216(b)(4): Links funding to the new Scorecard EC 78216(c)(7): Delineates plan requirements & link to student equity: “Coordination with college student equity plans to ensure that the college has identified strategies to monitor and address equity issues and mitigate any disproportionate impacts on student access and achievement.”

Student Equity Requirements

Success Indicators



Access:

Percentage of each pop. group enrolled compared group’s representation in adult population within community served – Census data; locally available data



Course Completion:

Ratio of number of credit courses that students by pop. group complete compared to number of courses in which students in that group are enrolled on the census day of term - DataMart



ESL and Basic Skills Completion:

Ratio of number of students by pop. group who complete a degree-applicable course after having completed the final ESL or basic skills course to the number of those students who complete such a final course - DataMart; Scorecard; Basic Skills Tracker

Student Equity Requirements

 Degree and Certificate Completion:

Ratio of number of students by pop. group who receive a degree or certificate to number of students in that group with same informed education goal as documented in student ed. plan – DataMart; Scorecard

 Transfer:

Ratio of number of students by pop. group who complete a min. of 12 units and have attempted a transfer level course in math or English, to number in that group who transfer after one or more (up to six) years – DataMart; Scorecard

 Student Success and Support Services:

The effect of mandatory participation of new students in SSSP services and enrollment priority on indicators A-E above, as well as the loss of Board of Governors (BOG) fee waiver of new students.

Success Indicators

SB 1456 & Student Equity

EC 78216(c)(2): Delineates plan requirements regarding college efforts to implement interventions for at-risk students: “A description of the college’s process to identify students at risk for academic or progress probation and the college’s plan for interventions or services to students.”

Student Equity & SSSP

Evaluating disproportionate impact in following SSSP components:  Admissions  Assessment and Placement  Orientation  Counseling and Advising (education planning)  Follow-up (evaluation of student progress)  Prerequisites

Assessing for Disproportionate Impact

Questions to consider in SSSP processes:  Do male and female students access counseling services in different proportions relative to their representation on the campus?  Are younger students more likely to complete orientation?  If a student is older (26 years or older), is s/he more likely to assess into basic skills level math?  Is race/ethnicity associated with lower success rates in prerequisites in certain fields of study?

Planning Timelines

Education Master Plan/Program Review

Student Success & Support Program

Basic Skills Initiative

Score Card*

Student Success and Support Program Plan Every 3 years, updated annually Basic Skills Initiative Plan Every year, submitted each October (plan template/instructions released in April) Student Equity Planning Every 3-5 years College Education Master Plan Tied to Accreditation cycle, each three- six years, may be updated annually

Student Equity

*As a starting point for discussion of institutional outcomes & equity

Research Questions

• Where is disproportionate impact an issue?
• What strategies and approaches have colleges successfully

implemented to mitigate it?

• What data can be accessed to explore the issue?
• What relevant analyses can be conducted to monitor

changes in disproportionate impact?

• How can colleges use this information for action planning and

improvement?

SSSP Funding Formula

 Focused on SSSP core services Assessment, orientation, counseling/advising, probation/dismissal  Uses student headcount and services provided to students  Categorical funding, separate from the general fund  Requires a district match
