California community colleges: course completion rates: financial incentives.

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in the state. Existing law establishes community college districts, administered by a governing board, throughout the state, and authorizes these districts to provide instruction to students at the community college campuses maintained by the districts. This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation to establish a framework of financial incentives to reward community colleges for improving course completion rates by community college students. This bill would require the chancellor's office to produce a report detailing course completion rates at the colleges for the period of January 1, 1990, to December 31, 2010, inclusive, and would require the report to be submitted to the Legislature no later than July 1, 2011.
