The Commonfund Higher Education Price Index (HEPI) is an inflation index designed specifically to track the main cost drivers in higher education. Compiled from data reported by government agencies and industry sources, HEPI measures the average relative level in the price of a fixed market basket of goods and services purchased by colleges and universities each year through current fund educational and general expenditures, excluding research. A more accurate indicator of cost changes for colleges and universities than the Consumer Price Index (CPI), HEPI is used primarily to project future budget increases required to preserve purchasing power. With compilations dating back to 1961, HEPI offers more than 50 continuous years of higher education inflation data. It is an essential tool enabling schools to determine increases in funding necessary to maintain both real purchasing power and investment. In 2005, Commonfund Institute assumed responsibility for the index and the proprietary model used to calculate HEPI's values from Research Associates of Washington, D.C. In 2007, in keeping with its commitment to improving and expanding the index, Commonfund Institute inaugurated two additional HEPI services: (1) HEPI calculated by type of institution for six different categories of public and private colleges and universities, and (2) the monthly release, beginning in January of each year, of a forecast of HEPI for the coming fiscal year end. In 2009, two further improvements were introduced, aligning the estimates and the final HEPI calculation with the July-June academic fiscal year and making available HEPI calculated by region. HEPI forecasts are provided monthly from January through June of each year. The HEPI report is published using the July HEPI figure, which may be subject to a further small adjustment when the last of the underlying data items are finalized in November.

In fiscal years 2014-15 and 2015-16, Colorado's public institutions witnessed their smallest year-over-year percent increase in tuition rates in more than a decade. This was largely the result of increases in General Fund support for higher education. In an attempt to maintain this progress, the General Assembly chose to hold the Department of Higher Education's appropriation flat in FY 2016-17 rather than proceed with the $20 million (3 percent) cut as originally requested in the Governor's budget request. In accordance with C.R.S. § 23-1-105.5(2), this report provides detailed information on the tuition and fee rates that Colorado public institutions of higher education charged to resident and non-resident students in Fiscal Year 2015-16. The report is organized into the following sections: (1) Key Findings and Definitions; (2) The Process of Tuition Setting and its Relationship to Costs; (3) A Summary of Tuition and Fee Changes in the 2015-2016 Academic Year; and (4) Tuition and Fee Interstate Comparisons. The appendices provide detailed examples and comparisons across institution type, student groups, and year-to-year comparisons. [For the 2014-15 report, see ED562005.]

In 2005, Commonfund Institute assumed responsibility for the index and the proprietary model used to calculate HEPI's values from Research Associates of Washington, D.C. In subsequent years, in keeping with its commitment to improving and expanding the index, Commonfund Institute has initiated a number of additional HEPI services and refinements. HEPI is compiled using data items from publicly-available sources that are released at different points in the academic fiscal year, from July 1 through June 30. This HEPI report uses the accumulated data set as of June 30, and may be subject to further small adjustments when the last of the underlying data items are finalized in November. Due to a change in methodology for deriving faculty and compensation data published by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), this year's report uses reasonable estimates for changes in faculty salaries and fringe benefits to aid in the transition from FY2015 to FY2016.

KIDS COUNT has used data to help call attention to emerging trends impacting kids in communities across the state. This year, the Colorado Children's Campaign marked the 25th birthday of KIDS COUNT in Colorado! by exploring this important question: What has changed for Colorado kids in the past 25 years? Long-term trends are not possible for every indicator, but a few success stories have emerged. Colorado's infant mortality rate in 2016 was nearly half of what it was 25 years earlier. The teen birth rate plummeted by nearly 70 percent, and our uninsured rate for kids reached a record low in 2016. The number of available spaces in early learning programs like the Colorado Preschool Program climbed steadily, and the share of Colorado kindergartners enrolled in a full-day program increased five-fold. Behind each of these numbers are real children who are better off as a result of policy decisions that contributed to these trends. The data in this report also shows where Colorado has work to do. For example, in 2015, the state's teen suicide rate--consistently one of the highest in the nation-- reached a rate not seen in the previous 25 years. Although infant mortality rates have declined overall, they remain high for some demographic groups. The school funding system has not been updated in nearly a quarter of a century and reading scores of fourth graders have been stagnant for nearly a decade.

In this brief annual report, Colorado Children's Campaign shares a few examples of their work in 2016. The Campaign's early childhood work in 2016 focused on making child care and early education more accessible and of higher quality. Among other changes, teen parents and domestic abuse survivors have better access to child care subsidies so they can work. More counties can participate in a pilot project to reduce the &quot;cliff effect&quot; of working parents losing support with even a minor increase in income. In health care access, the Campaign championed investments in Colorado's effective family planning program and fought a rate cut to Medicaid primary care providers. They also supported a study of premium rates for individual health insurance based on geography. Removing barriers for kids facing the most obstacles to success was a major focus of the Campaign's K-12 work in 2016. They worked with advocates from communities of color to respond to the state's plan to implement the new federal Every Student Succeeds Act. They continued to defend progress made in education policy in recent years by protecting educator accountability systems, high standards and aligned assessments.

Alignment between K-12 education and the workforce is critical because jobs are changing. Students must be prepared not only for the jobs of today but also for the jobs of the future. Securely linking data between state K-12 and workforce data systems can create a bridge between these agencies as they develop shared career readiness goals for students and the state. Creating a shared vision and ensuring high-quality data matching and sharing are examples of the steps states can take to facilitate K-12 and workforce data linkages and are included in the six key focus areas highlighted in this roadmap. [The roadmap is co-written with the Workforce Data Quality Campaign (WDQC).]

Learning does not end at 3 p.m. or in June, and neither should data-driven support for students. Communities across the country are recognizing out-of-school time (OST) programs as key partners to provide students not only important enrichment and academic services but also targeted supports and expanded learning opportunities. This policy brief highlights the value of school-community collaboration and secure data sharing and the unique role that state policymakers play in making these partnerships possible.

When school and district administrators are empowered to lead a culture of data use, students do better. As states focus on improving overall school quality and ensuring success for all students, they need a workforce of school and district administrators who are equipped to use data to continuously improve. State leaders are uniquely positioned to align policies and programs that train and support school and district administrators. This paper provides a picture of what administrator data literacy looks like in action and details how state policymakers can support it.
