Q2 District Financial Update
Enrollment is continuing to decline. The district is very concerned and is investigating
options.
The international student enrollment also declined. Enrollment is down across the
State.
Productivity also declined as a result of keeping lower enrolled classes to increase
FTES. There is part-time faculty cost associated with this strategy.
The indications are that the State budget remains stable.
Projected ending fund balance for June 30, 2017 is $49,373,562.
All other community college districts in our area are now basic aid, which is adding
to our planning and enrollment problems.
How is the district proposing to address the shortfall to the FTES? There are ongoing
discussions on how to address this but nothing concrete has been shared at this time.
San Jose Promise may effect the enrollment. San Jose are offering 2-years free tuition
to low-income students graduating from San Jose high schools.
