Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
This section relates to and should be read in conjunction
					 with subchapter 3 (commencing with section
					 53300) of chapter 4 of this
					 division.
(a) By November 20 of each
				  fiscal year the Board of Governors shall determine whether funds provided for
				  cost-of-living adjustment, less any net reductions to the programs and
				  allocations specified in subsection (b), are adequate to allow full or partial
				  implementation of the provisions of paragraph (1) of subsection (c) and whether
				  additional funds have been provided to allow implementation of the provisions
				  of paragraph (6) of subsection (c). The Board of Governors may revise these
				  determinations, and may revise the district's full-time faculty hiring
				  obligations, based on the above criteria, at any time subsequent to the state
				  enacting mid-year reductions to one or more of the programs or allocations
				  specified in subsection (b).
(b)
				  For the purposes of this section the following programs and allocations are
				  deemed to be essential and core to the mission and budgets of the California
				  Community Colleges: general apportionment, growth for apportionment,
				  cost-of-living adjustments, basic skills, Partnership for Excellence, financial
				  aid administration, Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, Disabled
				  Student Programs and Services, matriculation, part-time faculty compensation,
				  part-time faculty health insurance, part-time faculty office hours, program
				  improvement and allocations directed specifically to help reach the 75 percent
				  full-time faculty standard.
(c) If
				  a district's full-time faculty percentage, as calculated pursuant to section
				  53308, is less than 75 percent, the
				  following shall apply:
(1) If the Board of
				  Governors has determined pursuant to subsection (a) that adequate funds have
				  been provided for implementation of this paragraph, the district's base
				  full-time faculty obligation (as defined in section
				  53311) shall be increased for the
				  fall term of the succeeding fiscal year, by the product of the base full-time
				  faculty obligation multiplied by the percentage change in funded credit FTES,
				  rounded down to the nearest whole number.
In computing the district's full-time faculty obligation
					 for the succeeding fiscal year, the base obligation will be increased by the
					 lower of the projected fundable growth at the time of the budget enactment or
					 the actual percentage change in funded credit FTES. For the second succeeding
					 fall term the obligation will be adjusted to the actual percentage change in
					 funded credit FTES.
(2)
				  Districts which, as determined from their base data, had a full-time faculty
				  percentage of 67 percent or greater, but less than 75 percent shall apply up to
				  33 percent of their program improvement allocation pursuant to subsection (b)
				  of section 58775, as necessary to reach the 75
				  percent standard pursuant to paragraph (4) below.
(3) Districts which, as determined from their
				  base data, had a full-time faculty percentage of less than 67 percent shall
				  apply up to 40 percent of their program improvement allocation pursuant to
				  subsection (b) of section
				  58775, as necessary to reach the 75
				  percent standard pursuant to paragraph (4) below.
(4) For program improvement funds identified
				  in paragraph (2) or (3), as appropriate, the district's base full-time faculty
				  obligation shall be further increased for the fall term of the succeeding
				  fiscal year, by the quotient of the applicable program improvement funds
				  divided by the statewide average replacement cost for the current fiscal year,
				  rounded down to the nearest whole number.
(5) If the number of full-time faculty
				  derived in paragraphs (1) and (4), or in paragraph (6), result in the district
				  exceeding the 75 percent standard, the Chancellor shall reduce the number of
				  the full-time obligation to a point that leaves the district as close as
				  possible to, but in excess of, the 75 percent standard.
(6) If the Board of Governors determines
				  pursuant to subsection (a) that additional funds have been provided for the
				  purpose of increasing the full-time faculty percentage, the district's base
				  full-time faculty obligation shall be further increased for the fall term of
				  the succeeding fiscal year by the quotient of the applicable funds divided by
				  the statewide average replacement costs for the current fiscal year, rounded
				  down to the nearest whole number.
(7) If the Board of Governors determines
				  pursuant to subsection (a) that adequate funds have not been provided to
				  implement paragraph (1), the district's base full-time faculty obligation shall
				  be unchanged. However, for the fall term of the succeeding fiscal year the
				  district may choose, in lieu of maintaining its base obligation, to maintain,
				  at a minimum, the full-time faculty percentage attained in the prior fall
				  term.
