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 this state. Existing law establishes a community college funding system, among the components of which is the apportionment of state funds to community college districts. Existing law provides for the calculation of the amounts of these apportionments on the basis of the number of full-time equivalent students (FTES) in attendance at community college campuses. This bill, notwithstanding existing law, would authorize the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to apportion full funding per FTES to educational centers in the Santa Barbara Community College District irrespective of the number of FTES enrolled at those educational centers. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Santa Barbara Community College District.
