Deficiencies?

Program Plan and Review Processes were not sufficiently linked with budgeting processes

Failure to meet Eligibility Requirement-Administrative Capacity (too many interims)

Page 21: “You can do it!”

Addressing the deficiencies

Program Plan and Review Processes – Budgets

Organization:Worked through existing channels (Planning and Budget, Accreditation Steering Committee, Academic Senate)

Page 22: “You can do it!”

Addressing deficiencies

Addressed deficiencies:Evaluated current college practices and ACCJC concerns

Developed college planning and budgeting calendar

Detailed Cyclical planning and allocation models (example)

Page 23: “You can do it!”

Addressing deficiencies

Developed and began implementing program and college level planning processes

Annual Program Plans (APPW) – KEY (example)Comprehensive PlansBoard GoalsUnit/Cluster PlansPrioritization ProcessesCategorical FundsReporting/Informing Lines – Complete the Cycle

Page 24: “You can do it!”

Addressing deficiencies

Administrative CapacityHired new administration

Page 25: “You can do it!”

What did you learn?

ACCJC warnings get the district’s attention and create motivation for change

Bad press; student fearThe development of processes and their actual implementation are two different thingsTheoretical transparency of budget allocation tied with planningACCJC does not care about shared governance!
