California Community Colleges: funding formula: study.

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law authorizes the establishment of community college districts under the administration of community college governing boards, and authorizes these districts to provide instruction at community college campuses throughout the state. Existing law requires the board of governors to develop criteria and standards, in accordance with specified statewide minimum requirements, for the purposes of making the annual budget request for the California Community Colleges to the Governor and the Legislature, and allocating state general apportionment revenues. This bill would require the Legislative Analyst's Office to conduct a study of the funding formula used to allocate state apportionments by the California Community Colleges for the 2017–18 fiscal year. The bill would require the Legislative Analyst's Office to submit a report to the Legislature, on or before July 1, 2019, containing its findings from the study and providing recommendations as to various funding formula models the Legislature may wish to adopt for use by the California Community Colleges.
