Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 The base revenues for each community college district shall be the sum of the
					 revenues received for the preceding fiscal year in accordance with section
					 58770 (including any subsequent
					 adjustments pursuant to subdivision (c) thereof), exclusive of section
					 58776, plus any unfunded shortage
					 in revenues identified pursuant to the provisions of sections
					 58772 and
					 58779, less any adjustment for
					 declining FTES pursuant to section
					 58774 in the preceding fiscal
					 year.
(b) Base credit FTES shall be
					 the funded FTES of the prior fiscal year.
(c) Base noncredit FTES shall be the funded
					 noncredit FTES of the prior fiscal year.
(d) Base career development and college
					 preparation noncredit FTES shall be the funded career development and college
					 preparation noncredit FTES of the prior fiscal year. The 2006-07 fiscal year
					 begins with a base of zero FTES.
(e) Base basic allocation level shall be
					 contingent upon the status of the college, center and FTES criteria pursuant to
					 subdivision (i) of this section.
(f) The noncredit base revenue for each
					 community college district shall be equal to the units of base noncredit FTES
					 determined pursuant to subdivision (c), multiplied by the base rate of
					 $2,479.23; in subsequent years the base rate shall be the prior year base rate
					 plus an inflation adjustment pursuant to section
					 58773. The 2006-07 marginal rate
					 for noncredit FTES after the inflation adjustment is $2,626.00.
(g) The credit base revenue for each
					 community college district shall be equal to the units of base credit FTES
					 determined pursuant to subdivision (b), multiplied by the base rate of
					 $4,122.92 in the 2006-07 fiscal year; in subsequent years the base rate shall
					 be the prior year base rate plus an inflation adjustment pursuant to section
					 58773(b). The
					 2006-07 marginal rate for credit FTES after the inflation adjustment is
					 $4,367.00.
(h) The career
					 development and college preparation noncredit base revenue for each community
					 college district shall be equal to the units of base career development and
					 college preparation noncredit FTES determined pursuant to subdivision (d)
					 multiplied by the base funding rate for that year. In subsequent years the base
					 rate shall be the prior year base rate plus an inflation adjustment pursuant to
					 section 58773. In 2006-07, the marginal
					 rate will be $3,092.00 if the $30 million provided for this category of FTES is
					 adequate to fully fund all qualifying FTES.
(i) The basic allocation base revenue for
					 each community college district shall be contingent upon the number and size of
					 colleges and educational centers, as those terms are defined in section
					 55180 and this section. The annual
					 basic allocation base rates for fiscal year 2006-07 shall be the basic
					 allocation rates shown below. The basic allocation base rate for subsequent
					 years will be the 2006-07 base rate plus any inflation adjustments applied in
					 intervening years. Apportionment allocations for the basic allocation base
					 revenues and base rates are based on the prior year's FTES as reported on the
					 final attendance report. The unadjusted basic allocation base rates, before any
					 inflation adjustment for 2006-07, shall be:
(1) Single college districts: $5,000,000 per
					 single college district with FTES equal to or greater than 20,000.
(2) Single college districts: $4,000,000 per
					 single college district with FTES equal to or greater than 10,000 FTES but less
					 than 20,000 FTES.
(3) Single
					 college districts: $3,000,000 per single college district with less than 10,000
					 FTES.
(4) Multi-college districts:
					 $4,000,000 per college with FTES equal to or greater than 20,000 FTES;
					 $3,500,000 per college with FTES equal to or greater than 10,000 FTES but less
					 than 20,000 FTES; and $3,000,000 per college with less than 10,000
					 FTES.
(5) Educational centers:
					 $1,000,000 for each center described in subdivision (b)(1) of section
					 55180 and reporting 1,000 or more
					 FTES. A district is not eligible for the basic allocation revenue provided by
					 this subdivision associated with an educational center that is approved by the
					 Board of Governors on or after May 1, 2008, unless and until the Chancellor
					 determines that the center reported at least 1,000 FTES on the district's most
					 recent final attendance report.
(6)
					 Grandparented centers described in subdivision (b)(2) of section
					 55180: amounts as specified below
					 for 2006-07 plus inflation adjustments to be applied to calculate the
					 entitlement for subsequent years.
(A) Greater
					 than or equal to 1,000 FTES:
$1,000,000
(B) Greater than or equal to 750 FTES but
					 less than
1,000 FTES:
$750,000
(C) Greater than or equal to 500 FTES but
					 less than
750 FTES:
$500,000
(D) Greater than or equal to 250 FTES but
					 less than
500 FTES:
$250,000
(E) Greater than or equal to 100 FTES but
					 less than
250 FTES:
$125,000
(7) For grandparented centers described in
					 subdivision (b)(2) of section
					 55180, the amount of certified FTES
					 used to calculate the center's 2006-07 entitlement shall not be increased until
					 the center in question is approved as an educational center pursuant to article
					 4 of subchapter 2 of chapter 6 (commencing with section
					 55180) but may be decreased in
					 accordance with the provisions of paragraph (8) below. The provisions of
					 paragraphs (10) and (11) of this subdivision shall not apply to a grandparented
					 center pursuant to paragraph (6) above until it is approved as an educational
					 center pursuant to article 4 of subchapter 2 of chapter 6 (commencing with
					 section 55180).
(8) Beginning with fiscal year 2005-06,
					 districts shall report FTES for each college and educational center in
					 accordance with guidance from the Chancellor's Office. These FTES will be used
					 to calculate the amount of basic allocation earned by each district. If an
					 educational center does not serve at least an amount of FTES sufficient to
					 continue at the same basic allocation funding level, the unadjusted basic
					 allocation amount will be recalculated consistent with the FTES level served.
					 If the recalculation results in a lower funding amount, the reduction will not
					 occur until the third year after the initial recalculation that resulted in the
					 lower calculated funding amount. If the educational center increases the level
					 of FTES served in years subsequent to the reduction in its basic allocation
					 amount, the Chancellor shall recalculate the basic allocation amount using the
					 larger FTES level, but in no case will the basic allocation be recalculated
					 using a level of FTES that exceeds the FTES amount from its initial center
					 certification.
(9) The Chancellor
					 may authorize extraordinary basic allocation base revenue pursuant to this
					 section to a partner district under Education Code section
					 74292.
(10) Other than as provided in paragraphs (7)
					 and (11), the amount of FTES served by each college and center as reported on
					 the 2005-06 final attendance report shall be used to calculate the minimum
					 unadjusted basic allocation amount for the initial 2006-07 fiscal year of the
					 apportionment and the following two years.
(11) Other than as provided in paragraph (7),
					 if a new college or center is established, or if the FTES from an existing
					 college or center increases to a level that warrants an adjustment of the
					 district's previous basic allocation base amount, the basic allocation
					 adjustment shall be included in the fiscal year following the approval or
					 increase in size occurs.
(12)
					 Single college districts that reported credit attendance at less than or equal
					 to 5,000 FTES for the 2005-06 final attendance report that are serving areas of
					 the state with less than 217 people per square mile are eligible for a base
					 allocation adjustment of $500,000 to the initial base allocation
					 amount.
(13) Changes to basic
					 allocation funding pursuant to paragraph (11) of this subdivision shall come
					 from the same funding sources as the base funding pursuant to section
					 58772.
(14) FTES produced from distance education
					 courses or courses taught at a physical location other than a college or a
					 center shall be credited to the base allocation of the college or center from
					 which they were reported for the first principal apportionment of the 2006-07
					 fiscal year. Subsequent to the first principal apportionment of the 2006-07
					 fiscal year, any new FTES produced from a distance education course or courses
					 taught at a physical location other than a college or center shall be credited
					 to the base allocation of the college or center where they were initially
					 reported. The intent of this section is to specify that FTES may not be moved
					 among colleges after they have been initially reported so as to increase the
					 base allocation of a college.
(15)
					 In the event that a college or center is closed, the FTES produced from a
					 distance education course or courses taught at a physical location other than a
					 college or center and reported from that college or center shall be credited to
					 another college or center in the same district, to the extent that such
					 additional FTES is produced at the recipient college or center. The FTES may
					 not be credited to a subsequent college or center in the district at a later
					 date unless the original recipient college or center is also closed. The intent
					 of this section is that FTES may not be moved among colleges or centers after
					 they have been initially reported so as to increase the base allocation of a
					 college or center.
