Summary

(1) 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. Those statewide minimum requirements include, among other things, a requirement that the calculations of each community college district's revenue level for each fiscal year be based on specified criteria, with revenue adjustments being made for increases or decreases in full-time equivalent students and for other specified purposes. This bill, for the 2014–15 fiscal year and the 2015–16 fiscal year would require the board of governors to provide the San Francisco Community College District with revenues, as specified, if, on the effective date of this bill, the board of governors finds that the community college district or a campus of the community college district is in imminent jeopardy of losing its accreditation, the board of governors has exercised its authority pursuant to specified provisions, and the institution is in compliance with a regulation requiring it to be accredited by a specified agency. The bill would require the board of governors to additionally provide the San Francisco Community College District with revenues for the 2016–17 fiscal year under the same conditions applicable to the 2014–15 and 2015–16 fiscal years, but only if the Fiscal Crisis Management Assistance Team makes a finding no sooner than April 1, 2016, that the San Francisco Community College District is meeting or exceeding specified fiscal benchmarks. The bill would require the Chancellor of the City College of San Francisco to submit a report containing specified information to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature, the Office of the Governor, the Legislative Analyst's Office, and the Department of Finance on or before April 15, 2015, and to submit updates to this report as specified. Because this provision would impose new duties on the San Francisco Community College District, it would constitute a state-mandated local program. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the San Francisco Community College District. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. (3) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
