Washington State Board for
Community and Technical Colleges
Academic Year Report
2011-2012
December 2012
Summary of 2011-12
 Washington community and technical colleges enrolled the equivalent of 190,630 full-time students (annual
FTES) during academic year 2011-12, a decrease of 4.7 percent over the previous year’s record level. Of the
total, 152,378 FTES – 80 percent – were in state-funded courses. State-funded FTES are supported by
student tuition and state funding.
 Community and technical colleges served nearly half a million people – 419,743 students in 2011-12. This
unduplicated headcount represents each student counted only once, even if the student enrolled for more than
one quarter or at more than one college during the year.
 A total of 72,697 (48 percent) state-supported FTES were generated by students enrolled for workforce
education (upgrading job skills or preparing to enter a new job field). This represents a decrease from the
record number of workforce students enrolled in 2010-11.
 In 2011-12, community and technical colleges served 16,601 Worker Retraining students (11,152 FTES).
This represents a 15 percent decrease in students from the prior year, largely due to a discontinuation of
special funding for the program appropriated by the legislature in July 2011.
 Students who were preparing to transfer to four-year institutions accounted for 60,118 FTES (40 percent).
14,929 FTES (9 percent) were generated by students enrolled with an immediate goal of basic skills: Adult
Basic Education (ABE), English as a Second Language (ESL), General Education Development (GED)
preparation, or high school completion.
 eLearning enrollment growth increased again after flat growth in 2010-11. In 2011-12, colleges enrolled
38,992 FTES in eLearning instruction, an increase of 2.6 percent from 2010-11. Online learning comprises 66
percent of eLearning and increased by 590 FTES, or 2.3 percent. Hybrid, which combines online with some
face-to-face, was 32 percent of all eLearning as it increased by 1,028 FTES or 9 percent.
 In 2011-12, 18,604 Running Start students – high school students earning high school and college credit
simultaneously – accounted for 12,717 FTES. Another 3,169 high school students enrolled in college classes
offered at their high school – (College in the High School) and 3,481 high school students enrolled in
alternative high school programs offered at the colleges. Additionally, 640 students received their high
school diploma by earning an associate degree.
 Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (I-BEST) pairs ABE or ESL with workforce training. Some
3,275 students were enrolled for 1,674 FTES in programs in fields such as allied health, welding, automotive,
and early childhood education.
 Seven colleges offered upper division course work for the applied bachelor’s degrees (437 FTES).
 In 2011-12, 17,155 individuals were employed in state-supported positions in Washington community and
technical colleges. This included faculty, classified staff, administrative, and other professionals, and equaled
13,088 full-time equivalents, and 58 percent faculty positions.
 System expenditures totaled more than $1.25 billion. Forty-five percent came from general and special state
funds.
 Capital appropriations for the 2011-13 biennium totaled $366 million. The 30 college districts own more
than 18 million square feet of facilities and 2,881 acres of land.

Introduction
The Report
This Academic Year Report 2011-12 provides a snapshot of funding, facilities, staffing, and enrollments in community
and technical colleges for the past academic year. The report also describes key measures of student outcomes and
addresses the most frequently asked questions related to expenditures, personnel and students. Additional demographic
information regarding community and technical college students is available in the companion publication Fall 2011
Enrollment and Staffing Report.
The primary source of information for this document is the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges’
(SBCTC) Data Warehouse, which is derived from the common management information systems used by all community
and technical colleges in the state.
The Washington Community and Technical College System
Washington's Community and Technical College Act of 1991 provides for a state system of community and technical
colleges separate from both the public secondary schools and four-year institutions. The act requires that the colleges
"offer an open door to every citizen, regardless of his or her academic background or experiences, at a cost normally
within his or her economic means" (RCW 28B.50.020(1)).
Each college district is required to "offer thoroughly comprehensive educational, training and service programs to meet
the needs of both the communities and students served by combining high standards of excellence in academic transfer
courses; realistic and practical courses in occupational education, both graded and ungraded; community services of an
educational, cultural, and recreational nature; and adult education" (RCW 28B.50.020(2)). Technical colleges are
exempt from the requirement to offer academic transfer courses. As of 2007-08, four colleges were authorized to award
applied baccalaureate degrees providing career advancement for technical associate degree graduates. Each district is
governed by a board of five trustees appointed to five-year terms by the Governor with the consent of the Senate.
Washington's first junior college was started in 1915 in Everett when 42 students began a one-year college program on
the top floor of Everett High School. It was closed in 1923 for lack of students. Centralia College, the state's oldest
continuously operating community college, opened in 1925. It was followed by Skagit Valley College in 1926, Yakima
Valley College in 1928, and Grays Harbor College in 1930. Between 1933 and 1941 four additional community
colleges began operation in Washington: Clark College in 1933, Lower Columbia in 1934, Wenatchee Valley in 1939,
and Everett in 1941, all locally administered and locally funded. Combined enrollment was approximately 1,000.
Meanwhile, in 1930 the Seattle School District opened Edison Vocational School, the first true, public vocational school
in the state. The Spokane School District followed suit in 1939 by establishing the Spokane Trade School. Both
schools eventually became community colleges. The oldest existing vocational technical institute (VTI), Tacoma's
Bates VTI, opened in 1940. Subsequently, VTIs opened in Lakewood (Clover Park), Pasco, Renton, Vancouver,
Kirkland (Lake Washington), Olympia, and Bellingham. The VTIs in Pasco, Vancouver, and Olympia eventually
became community colleges.
Between 1925 and 1941, there were three attempts to provide state support for junior colleges. State support was
provided for the first time by the 1941 Legislature; however, that act restricted the number and location of junior
colleges, prohibiting their establishment in counties having either a public or private four-year institution. In 1945,
junior colleges were made a part of their local school districts and supported through their funding, as was the case with
vocational technical institutes until 1991.
In 1961, the restrictions against expansion of community colleges were removed by the Legislature and junior colleges
were designated as "community" colleges.
v
The financing of community colleges was separated from that of local school districts in 1963, and in 1965 the
Legislature declared that it intended to establish a separate, independent community college system. Based on the
recommendations of the Arthur D. Little Company, the 1967 Legislature adopted the Community College Act of 1967,
which was signed on April 3rd of that year.
The structure of the community college system remained largely intact until 1991 when, as part of the Workforce
Training and Education Act, the Legislature amended the Community College Act of 1967 and redesignated it as the
Community and Technical College Act of 1991.
The state's five remaining public vocational technical institutes were designated as "technical colleges," removed from
the jurisdiction of their local school districts, and merged with the community college system. Each technical college
was provided with its own college district and a board of trustees. Each technical college district overlaps the districts of
neighboring community colleges. The State Board for Community College Education was renamed the State Board for
Community and Technical Colleges by the 1991 act.
The Community and Technical College Act of 1991 also brought the Seattle Vocational Institute (SVI) into the Seattle
Community College District. It had been the Washington Institute of Applied Technology since 1987 when it was
established by the Legislature in a facility, which had been occupied by the Seattle Occupational Industrialization Center
before it closed. SVI serves economically disadvantaged people in Seattle's Central district, providing job-related
training for adults and contract training for local businesses.
In 1994, the Legislature approved the establishment of the 30th college district, Cascadia Community College. The new
district began enrolling state-supported students in fall 2000.
Pierce College Puyallup became the system’s 34th college when the state board granted it college status as part of the
Pierce District in June 1999.
In 2005, the Legislature gave the State Board authority to offer applied baccalaureate programs in a pilot program at
selected community and technical colleges. The 2010 Legislature removed the pilot status and gave the State Board
authority to approve community and technical college applied baccalaureate degree programs.
In 2009, the Legislature allowed the five technical colleges to offer transfer degrees that prepare students for
professional bachelor's degrees in addition to offering technical degrees.

Enrollments
Funding Sources
State-supported enrollments: Courses funded through a combination of state appropriation and tuition are designated as
state-supported. The state portion covers nearly one-third (62 percent) of the cost of instruction, down from 73 percent
six years ago. When students, employers, or social service agencies pay tuition in state-supported courses, they are paying
38 percent of the cost of providing those courses.
Contract-funded enrollments: Courses in which no state funds are used to cover costs of instruction are either contract- or
student-funded. The costs for contract-funded courses are paid by an enterprise such as an employer or social service agency
for the benefit of its employees or clients. There are several types of contracts (more information on the following programs
can be found in the Selected Programs chapter of this report):
 Dual enrollment programs include Running Start, College in the High School and Alternative High School
programs.
 Eight college districts offered contracted instruction for the Washington Department of Corrections at twelve
correctional facilities in 2011-12. Students enroll in courses to increase literacy and gain occupational skills.
 Two-thirds of the community and technical colleges offer Contract International enrollment programs.
Organizations contract with colleges to provide instruction for international students. These organizations pay fees
equal to full non-resident tuition.
 Colleges also contract with local businesses under the Job Skills Program (JSP) and the Customized Training
Program (CTP). Employee training is provided by the college and the costs are covered by a state grant in JSP. The
costs for CTP are first covered up front by state funds and then repaid in full by the business.
Student-funded enrollments: Courses in which costs are paid entirely by the individuals who enroll increased by 20 percent
in 2011-12 while colleges continue to attempt to manage enrollments through funding sources in addition to state resources.
Student-funded courses include a wide variety of offerings and include:
 Workforce training/upgrading courses such as microcomputer applications, information technology certification,
web design, flagger and traffic control, and business management.
 Continuing education courses required for license renewal (e.g., real estate and health care).
 Leisure courses such as foreign language for travelers, photography, and dance.
Factors Impacting Enrollments
After five years of continuous enrollment growth and three years of budget cuts, the colleges’ ability to maintain growth with
shrinking resources reached a peak. The number of FTES enrolled in community and technical colleges decreased by nearly 5
percent from the prior year, the first time FTES have failed to increase year-to-year since 2005-06. The number of statesupported students declined from the previous year by nearly 25,000. With continued budget cuts, challenges continue to
mount for students and colleges. Students are paying more for fewer services and less options for course work.
Colleges enrollments appeared constrained in all areas (academic, workforce, pre-college, and adult basic education).
The overall decline in state-supported FTES went along with a decrease in headcount of 7.5 percent, as students already
enrolled were served.

Full-time Equivalent Students (FTES)
An annual FTES equals 45 credits. For example, two
students taking a total of 45 credits between them during
the year would equal 1 annualized FTES. In 2011-12,
FTES decreased to 190,630, down nearly 5 percent from
2010-11. This decrease was the first drop in FTES growth
since 2005-06.
In 2011-12, state-supported FTES also fell by more than
5 percent, after the system reached a record high level in
2010-11. Even with the decline, colleges still readily
exceeded their allocated target by more than 12,000
FTES.

Student Headcount
Community and technical colleges enrolled 419,743
students in 2011-12. This is a nearly 8 percent decrease
from the previous year. The decrease was due to fewer
students in all fund source categories, particularly contractfunded.
Nearly one-third of a million (305,709) students enrolled in
state-supported courses paid for by a combination of tuition
and state funds allocated directly to the college system. This
is a decrease of 7.5 percent or 24,899 students from the prior
academic year. This total decrease represented a decrease in
every kind of student (see page 8).

FTES by Student Purpose for Attending – State-Supported
State-supported FTES decreased nearly 7 percent in 2011-12
after hitting an all-time high in 2010-11.
The FTES generated by students enrolled for the purpose
of transferring to a university accounted for 39 percent
of the total FTES and decreased by 1,564 FTES, a
2.5 percent drop from the prior year.
FTES generated by students attending for workforce
education decreased by 5,372 FTES or 6.9 percent.
Workforce students generated 48 percent of all state
FTES, a distribution that is down slightly from prior
years.
The number of FTES generated by students who took
courses with basic skills as their immediate goal
decreased this year by 1,219 FTE, or 7.6 percent.
Enrollments in home and family life decreased again this
year as some colleges continue to reduce effort in this
area because of budget cuts and student demand for some
courses also declined due to the economy.

Student Headcount by Purpose for Attending – State-Supported
In 2011-12, 133,119 students (43 percent of all statesupported students) were enrolled for a workforce-related
purpose. After several years of growing class size to
maintain vocational course offerings, colleges made cuts in
vocational courses the past two years, reducing FTES by
nearly 6 percent from 2010-11 (see page 10). The number
of students enrolled in workforce programs decreased as a
result of the cuts.
In addition to students attending for workforce education,
another 113,697 state-supported students were enrolled with
the goal of transferring to a four-year institution. The
number of transfer students decreased by nearly 2 percent
in 2011-12.
Basic skills is the third mission area. It includes students for
whom improvement of basic skills was their immediate goal.
Students enrolled for this purpose decreased. In 2011-12 there were 38,841 such students in state-supported ABE, ESL, GED,
or high school completion classes. This was 10 percent less than the prior year, a third year of decline in this area reversing
several years of steady growth.
The remaining 20,052, or 7 percent of all state-supported students, enrolled to develop parenting and consumer homemaking
skills, to prepare for retirement, or did not specify a goal when they enrolled. Attributable to fewer course offerings in this area,
there was a 14.5 percent decrease in students from the prior year.

FTES by Course Intent – State Supported
There are four major course content areas: academic,
workforce, pre-college (developmental) and basic skills.
State-funded FTES declined from 2010-11 in all content
intent areas. College-level FTES increased at a slight rate.
Academic FTES went down nearly 4 percent while
Workforce FTES decreased by nearly 6 percent.
Pre-college courses are those needed to prepare for
college-level work, particularly math. Pre-college FTES
also decreased by 869 FTES or 5.6 percent.
Basic Skills enrollments decreased by 1,927 FTES or
8.9 percent, continuing the previous year’s reversal of
several years of steady growth. Basic skills includes
English as a Second Language (ESL), Adult Basic
Education, and two approaches to completing the equivalent
of high school – the diploma program for adults and courses
in preparation for the GED test. While demand for basic skill
instruction is far greater than the FTES served, colleges are
limited in their ability to respond to the need because of a
funding gap created by the lack of tuition generated from
these courses.

Contract Funded FTES by Course Intent
Contract-funded FTES represented 17 percent of the total
students in 2011-12. There are four distinct types of
contracted students: high school dual enrollment programs
such as Running Start, Department of Corrections programs,
Contract International students and other contracted courses
with state agencies (for example, WorkFirst), business,
industry, and the military (see the chapter on Selected
Programs for more detail).
Most Running Start students and many contract International
students take academic courses. Consequently, academic
courses represent the largest program area for contract
students. Compared to 2010-11, these courses showed no
change in the academic area but increased ten percent in the
pre-college area. Contract workforce courses declined by
17.5 percent. Basic Skills courses, especially Adult Basic
Education are important offerings at the corrections sites.
These courses decreased at a substantially higher percent
(17.9) than the decreases in state-supported Basic Skills
programs, further limiting services to this population.

Selected Programs
Enrollments in Selected Programs
The community and technical college system offers a wide variety of programs and tuition assistance opportunities. A selected set of
these programs are reported in detail in this chapter. Such programs include the Applied Baccalaureate degrees, Integrated Basic
Education and Skills Training, apprenticeship training, and the Worker Retraining program.
Apprenticeship combines classroom studies with on-the-job training supervised by a journey-level craft person or trade professional.
Apprenticeship enrollments have decreased 44 percent since 2006-07. Apprenticeship enrollments have declined for the fourth year
in a row. The decrease results from fewer apprenticeship opportunities in a depressed economy, as well as from apprenticeship
caps at some colleges in the face of fiscal constraints.
Seven colleges were approved to offer eight Applied Baccalaureate degree programs during 2011-12 ranging in focus from nursing
to interior design. Colleges began offering applied baccalaureate degrees in 2007. State FTES increased by 53 (34 percent over the
funded level). The number of FTES from all funding sources was 437, with 13 percent of those coming from self-support by way of
non-matriculated students.
Eight colleges offer courses in correctional facilities under contract with the state’s Department of Corrections. The number of
inmates participating in the programs declined 7 percent in 2011-12 while FTES went down 10 percent. In 2011-12, the Department
of Corrections introduced a new educational referral guide which reflects their new philosophy of getting the right offender in the
right program focusing mainly on high-risk-to-reoffend offenders. The old philosophy was that all offenders receive some services.
The end result is that fewer offenders receive educational services, but those that are in educational programs have higher intensity
levels.
Dual credit and High School Enrollment programs include Running Start, Alternative High School, College in the High School,
and Tech Prep. The Running Start program assisted 18,604 11th and 12th grade students to take college courses and earn both high
school and college credit. The number of students participating in alternative high school programs offered at the colleges decreased
4 percent to 3,481 students in 2011-12.
eLearning courses allow students to participate in learning by using digital and networked technologies inside or outside of the
classroom. eLearning courses displace some or all of the face-to-face time of a traditional course. eLearning FTES have increased
72 percent over the past five years and now account for nearly 20 percent of all FTES.
Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (I-BEST) programs assist students in earning college-level professional-technical
credits by integrating basic skills with workforce education. All colleges now offer at least one I-BEST program in which an
instructor from basic skills and an instructor from the professional-technical program jointly instruct in the same classroom. There
were 1,674 FTES from all fund sources. FTES declined by 6 percent in 2011-12 after flat growth the previous year.
International student instruction is both state- and contract-funded. State-funded students pay non-resident tuition and come from a
wide range of countries. In 2011-12, international student enrollments increased by 12 percent.
The Opportunity Grant program is designed to support and encourage low-income students to complete a degree or certificate
by filling in funding gaps not addressed by existing financial aid programs. Colleges awarded Opportunity Grants to 5,159
students in 2011-12 who generated 3,649 FTES. This exceeded the legislative target of 1,842 FTES.
A Worker Retraining student is a dislocated worker enrolled in training to gain skills to re-enter the workforce. Worker Retraining
FTES dropped 12 percent in 2011-12 largely due to a discontinuation of special funding for the program appropriated by the
legislature in July 2011.
WorkFirst students enroll in college for short vocational training. About 11,700 students participated in the WorkFirst program
in 2011-12 and generated 5,857 FTES.

Students Receiving Need-Based Financial Aid
Approximately 193,000 state support students were enrolled in programs which make them eligible for aid. Of those
enrolled in programs eligible for aid, 48.3 percent received state or federal aid.
Not all low-income students are eligible for aid. Financial aid programs were developed in the 1950s and 1960s primarily
designed for students coming straight from high school. To receive aid, students must have financial need and be enrolled
in a college-level program of study. Adult Basic Education or English as a Second Language classes are not eligible for aid.
Students enrolled in one or two courses to upgrade job skills or meet personal interests likewise are not eligible for aid.
Students seeking aid in paying for college costs must apply to the financial aid office at the college. Those who apply may
be eligible for loans, work study or grants, as well as scholarship programs, though most are eligible for and receive grants.
The demand for grants and work study aid typically exceeds the funds available. This means that students must work to
reduce expenses, find employment, or take out personal loans to fund the balance of their college expenses.

Student Progress and Success
Student Achievement Initiative
The Student Achievement Initiative is a performance funding system for community and technical colleges. Its purposes are
to both improve public accountability by more accurately describing what students achieve from enrolling in our colleges each
year, and to provide incentives through financial rewards to colleges for increasing the levels of achievement attained by their
students. The Student Achievement Initiative rewards colleges based on Achievement points. The points are measured in four
categories and for the total points earned:





Becoming college-ready - points are awarded when adult basic education students increase their basic literacy and
math skills. Points are also awarded to students who pass pre-college math and English.
First year College Success - Points are awarded when students pass two critical milestones on the way to completing
their first year of college-level work: completing the first 15 college credits; and completing the first 30 college credits.
First Five credits in Quantitative Completed - Points are awarded when students meet the math requirement for their
program. Math is a critical barrier for many students.
Completion - Points are awarded when students complete associate degrees, workforce certificates, and
apprenticeships.
Total Points - A college’s performance is compared to its past performance to determine its annual improvement in
total points, allowing each college to focus on areas important to its students. Financial rewards are based upon the
total point gain.
Performance Results
The college system showed gains in Student Achievement starting in the first performance year. Between the 2006-07
baseline year and 2008-09, the first performance year, the colleges served 4 percent more students. They also increased
student achievement by 19%, with gains in all categories, including the largest increases in gaining college ready skills. Points
again increased in all categories in 2009-10. Total achievement increased by 12 percent or 40,716 total points compared to
student population growth of 1 percent. The ratio of point gains to students means that nearly all of the growth was due to
more achievement points per student. These results demonstrate the system level momentum that was hoped for in building
towards greater student achievement and overall student success.
In 2010-11, the effects of budget cuts began to take hold. Fewer students (headcount) were served, and basic skills cuts
resulted in fewer basic skills points than the year before. First year college level points also declined as fewer students meant
a decrease in students at the beginning of the pipeline. However, following the framework, more students continued and
moved beyond first year points advancing to completion. Completions increased by 17 percent over the prior year. In 201112, the pattern from 2010-11 continued with fewer students attending overall and 7 percent fewer total achievement points.
Basic skills points fell significantly, but the point totals at the completion end of the momentum path continued to increase (2
percent). The total number of completions achieved in 2011-12 represented a 46 percent increase since the baseline
year of 2006-07.

Degrees and Certificates Awarded
After a few years of decline, the number of degrees and certificates awarded began rising in 2007-08, with a significant uptick
in 2010-11. Approximately 43 percent of the growth in college-level awards over the past five years can be attributed to the
increasing numbers of short-term certificates (certificates less than 45 credits). Their growth is due to two issues: (1) colleges’
efforts to develop pathways through smaller modules of curriculum that include short-term certificates on the path to longer
term awards and (2) specific hiring requirements in local areas. See the following pages for more details on the specific
numbers of academic and workforce awards.
Colleges help thousands of adults complete high school or earn the General Education Development (GED) certificate.
Workforce degrees prepare students to enter employment in technical fields, while academic degrees prepare students for
transfer. More than 1,300 students moved to journey-level status after completion of apprenticeship training, which includes
classroom instruction at the colleges. Additionally, 640 students received their high school diploma by earning their associate
degree.

After College Status - Transfer
Accepted as Transfer/Transition:
Unlike previous years, transfer information regarding public baccalaureates was not available through the Educational
Research and Data Center. Public baccalaureates were contacted directly by SBCTC for this report. Those providing a
response were included in this report. A new category in the past three years is students who are admitted to applied
bachelor’s programs at the community and technical colleges after completing lower division course work at the same
college or elsewhere in the college sector.

After College Status – Job Preparatory
Placement and Wages
Job Preparatory and Apprenticeship students nine months after college: The table provides wages and employment data
for “exiting” job preparatory and apprenticeship students; that is, those who it has been a full year since they were last
enrolled, whether they completed a program or not. Once students are deemed “exiting” students, their wages and
employment status are evaluated three quarters (nine months) after they leave college. The most recent year of data is for
students who completed training in 2010-11 and entered the workforce in 2011-12. Employment rates had decreased for two
years, but rose in the past year, although inflation adjusted hourly wages decreased. The wage difference between completing
and not completing training remains substantial.
After they leave the college, program completers are quite successful in obtaining well-paying jobs or transferring to four-year
institutions during normal economic times. For the class of 2010-11, 77 percent of those completing job preparatory training
were employed seven to nine months after leaving college, an increase from previous two years. This is reflective of a
recovering economy following the recent recession.
Tables with additional detail about median wages and earnings of job preparatory students completing programs by program of
study are provided on the following pages.

Washington Community and Technical Colleges
AYR 2011-12
Staff
Introduction
Community and technical colleges, including the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC), employed
20,741 people accounting for 13,088 state-supported FTE faculty and staff in 2011-12. The number of people was down
approximately 3 percent in 2011-12 from the previous academic year, with non-teaching faculty being the only area of increase.
Another 3,586 (2,826 FTE) were employed with contract- and student-supported funds. Colleges also hire hourly employees on
a part-time basis to meet peak workload demands such as at registration time. Hourly employees and student workers are not
included in the classified employee FTE. This section provides details on the characteristics and level of staffing in the
community and technical college system.
Colleges employ staff using state funds and dollars from grants, contracts, and fees. This report focuses on state-funded
employees. Included in this report are four categories of employees:
Classified Support Staff: Support staff who work under a set of conditions established by civil service rules or collective
bargaining agreements.
Professional/Technical: This category includes managers of college programs. Also included are non-managerial
professional staff such as counseling/advising specialists, student placement coordinators, and principal assistants to chief
administrators. Professional/technical staff are exempt from civil service rule coverage.
Administrative: Includes the chief executive officers, vice presidents, deans and associate deans in instruction and student
services, and directors of major programs. This group is exempt from the jurisdiction of the civil service system and
exempt from college support staff collective bargaining.
Faculty: Includes teaching and non-teaching employees. Non-teaching employees include counselors and librarians.

Staff FTE by Category of Employee – State-Supported
College staff activity is measured in terms of full-time
equivalents (FTE). One staff FTE represents a nonfaculty employee working full-time for 12 months.
Teaching faculty are reported as FTE-Faculty (FTE-F).
One FTE-F is equal to a nine-month academic year
appointment. See Appendix C for further definitions.
Non-teaching faculty FTE include counselors,
librarians, and the release time of teaching faculty.
In 2011-12, faculty represented 58 percent of the total
employee FTE. With continued downsizing, colleges
reduced staff in all areas with the exception of nonteaching faculty (3.5 percent from the previous year).
This year was the first time in five years where the
number of teaching faculty decreased as compared to
the year prior. Professional-technical staff experienced
the greatest decrease from the previous year at 6
percent.

Classified Support Staff Annual FTE – State-Supported
Classified staff provide the recordkeeping,
communication, maintenance, custodial, technology
support, and other general functions for the colleges.
Most classified staff (97 percent) are hired on a full-time
basis. The use of part-time classified employees has
decreased. Colleges hire hourly employees on a part-time
basis to meet peak workload demands such as at
registration time. Hourly employees and student workers
are not included in the classified employee FTE.
Total classified staff has decreased nearly 5 percent in the
past five years. It fell by 3 percent in 2009-10 because of
cuts in part-time employees, but increased slightly in
2010-11. Over the past 5 years, Instruction and Libraries
have taken the largest reductions in classified staff. The
only area that had growth was Primary Support.

Administrative Staff FTE – State-Supported
Administrative staff includes the executive officers of the
college (presidents and vice-presidents) and the
managerial staff (deans, associate deans, directors, and
managers). They are exempt from the jurisdiction of the
Washington Personnel Resources Board civil service
system and typically not covered by collective bargaining.
Administrative FTE vary from college to college as
a result of differences in size and organizational structure.
Some colleges place functions such as grants and
contracts, physical plant, media services, institutional
research and planning under the direction of administrative
staff. At other colleges, professional/technical staff
perform these functions.
Administrative staff consists almost entirely of full-time
employees. Total staff has decreased over the five-year
period, although the rate of decrease has slowed between
2010-11 and 2011-12. Reductions in the most recent year
occurred in most program areas with the exception of
Instruction and Other (Federal Voc & SBCTC).

Professional/Technical Staff FTE – State-Supported
Professional/technical staff are exempt from the jurisdiction
of the Washington Personnel Resources Board civil service
system and typically not covered by a collective bargaining
agreement. Included in this category are managers of college
programs, non-managerial staff such as counseling/advising
specialists, student placement coordinators, principals,
assistants to chief administrators, high-level computer
technicians, and human resource professionals.
The number of professional/technical FTE varies from
college to college as a result of differences in size and
organizational structure. For example, business contract
training is directed by professional/ technical staff at some
colleges, but that function is directed by faculty at other
colleges.
Professional/technical staff has decreased by nearly 2 percent in
the past five years. The most recent year showed decreases in
all program areas, with Instruction experiencing the largest total
number of staff reduced.

Teaching Faculty FTE-F by Employment Status
Teaching Faculty: In 2011-12, full-time faculty taught 53 percent of state-supported instruction while part-time faculty taught
the remaining 47 percent. Part-time faculty give colleges the flexibility to offer courses outside the expertise of full-time
faculty, to offer more evening and off-campus courses, and to adjust course offerings quickly in response to student demand or
changes in funding. There was a decrease of 3.4 percent of full- and part-time teaching faculty on payroll from the previous
year.
Moonlight is the extra load taught by full-time faculty or full-time administrators in addition to their contracted workload. In
addition to teaching faculty, there were 555 FTE non-teaching faculty using state funds in 2011-12. This was an increase from
the previous year.

Full-Time Faculty Salaries
In Washington community and technical colleges, the full-time faculty average salary for teaching in the 2011-12 academic year
was just over $56,000. When adjusted for inflation, this is a decrease of about $800 from the 2010-11 academic year. Many
districts responded to budget reductions by offering retirement incentives to senior faculty and replacing them with faculty paid
at the entry-level salary or by leaving positions vacant. The community and technical colleges spent $356 million in 2011-12 on
college faculty salaries representing more than one-third (37 percent) of total system expenditures, a figure which does not
include benefits.

Washington Community and Technical Colleges
AYR 2011-12
Facilities and Capital Funding
The campuses and off-campus sites of the 34 community and technical colleges provide facilities for academic
instruction, workforce training, basic skills, and developmental education. These buildings also house core
operations such as student services, libraries/learning resource centers, faculty and administrative offices, physical
plant shops, and central stores. In the 2007-09 biennium, investments in two-year college facilities were
approaching the level needed to sustain renovation and replacement of poorly performing buildings and to address
growth impacts at a few of our colleges. Unfortunately, the investments in two-year college facilities took a
precipitous drop during the “Great Recession” of 2008 and has remained constrained to the present day.
Every two years the community and technical colleges contract with architects and engineers to survey the condition
of approximately 18.7 million square feet of state-owned facilities, both on campus and at off-campus sites. The
most recent 2011 survey found about 61 percent of

the facilities were in “adequate” to “superior”

process and will be completed in December 2013.

A major reason for the continued high percentage
of inadequate facilities is that approximately one-fourth of the state-owned facilities were constructed prior to 1970,
most at a low initial construction cost. Many of these older buildings have exceeded their useful lives and are no
longer cost-effective to renovate. These buildings typically have obsolete, worn-out heating, ventilating, and air
conditioning (HVAC) systems; poor structural systems; inadequate power supply and data/communication services;
deteriorated roofs. Many of these buildings were constructed for functions other than higher education; for example,
Big Bend Community College is housed in an old Air Force base.
Because of their age and the large number of facilities that are no longer functional, infrastructure failures have
become a problem. The backlog of capital repairs is slowly being reduced through periodic minor works
investments, together with building renovations and replacements. In addition, site improvements need to be made
to expand parking, renew paving (walks, roadways), and provide better exterior lighting to reduce risk and improve
campus safety.
Other facilities need improvements to house modern instructional equipment and new technology, particularly
important to delivering high quality instruction in the science and health occupations facilities. Vocational
equipment is dated and does not reflect what students will see in the workplace. All but the newest and most
recently remodeled facilities lack the infrastructure to support the needed technology. Greater investments will need
to be made to ensure both the adequacy of space and program equipment.
Prioritizing Needs: After each college develops a facilities request using the State Board for Community and
Technical Colleges (SBCTC) guidelines and local strategic and master plans, SBCTC prioritizes the projects using a
process agreed upon by the system. SBCTC provides the prioritized list to the Governor and the Legislature. The
success of the capital program depends upon careful planning by the colleges and adequate capital funding from the
Legislature. Funding levels between $550-600 million are essential in bringing investment in two-year colleges to
an appropriate level. It is essential that this buying power be preserved and adjusted for inflation to ensure we can
continue to make reasonable investments in building renovation and replacement. The recession and significant
drop in revenue has reduced bond capacity. Two-year college funding dropped from $524.6 million in the 2007-09
biennium to $366.5 million in the 2011-13 biennium, delaying several major projects. This will reduce the capital
program and further delay upcoming projects. There will be a limited number of requests for new matching fund,
renovation, replacement, and growth projects for the 2015-17 biennium. Two-year colleges will concentrate on
delivering major projects already in the pipeline and new requests for minor works preservation, minor works
program, and capital repair projects. The following pages provide a view of capital budget funding over the last
three biennia.

AYR 2011-12
Expenditures
Introduction
The community and technical college system spent more than $1.2 billion in 2011-12 as accounted for in the common
financial management system. In addition, approximately $38 million was expended by the community and technical
college system from state and federal funds for Adult Basic Education, Workforce Education, and WorkFirst. This is not
included in the $1.2 billion, but is described starting on page 80.
About 46 percent of community and technical college operating expenditures for 2011-12 were from the state general fund
appropriation to SBCTC, down about 5 percent from the previous year. Student operating fees (tuition) contributed 25
percent. The remainder was derived from grants and contracts (18 percent) and local dedicated funds (12 percent). Grants
and contracts include federal, state, and private sources. Local funds include revenue from investments, student fees for
self- support courses, miscellaneous fees, and instructional enterprises. Tables starting on page 73 describe expenditures of
the funds derived from these sources.
* State Includes the *State includes the following state appropriated funds: 001 General
Fund-State; 08A - Education Legacy Trust Account; and 060 - CTC Capital Projects
Account (operating funds provided in the capital budget).
Note: 060 - CTC Capital Projects Account appropriation in the operating budget excluded
from this analysis.
APPROPRIATION PROCESS: Every other year college staff, State Board for Community and Technical College
(SBCTC) staff, local trustees, presidents, and SBCTC board members participate in the process of developing a single
biennial operating budget request based on current-level spending, plus specific enhancements above the current level. The
SBCTC submits its request to the Governor in the year prior to the start of a new biennium. The Governor recommends a
system budget for legislative consideration. The Legislature makes a biennial appropriation to the SBCTC for the college
system.
The Legislature includes language in its appropriations bill and published budget notes to indicate the funding levels for
items of specific interest and to provide policy directions to the community and technical colleges by the Legislature.
The SBCTC then allocates the biennial appropriation by fiscal year to individual college districts. Each district has
specified annual FTES targets and an allocated amount consistent with legislative budget notes and detail.
LIMITS ON EXPENDITURES: Local districts have the authority to determine how to spend their allocations except as
limited by the State Board or legislative action.

Expenditure Categories
Expenditure categories are accounted for by the source of funds: legislative appropriations, student operating fees, grants,
and local revenue sources such as fees for courses funded exclusively from student fees (student-funded courses). There is
no local tax support for Washington community and technical colleges. Expenditures exclude auxiliary enterprise funds,
such as those used to run the campus bookstore or cafeteria. College expenditures of the federal Carl D. Perkins Act, the
federal Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, and WorkFirst funds are reimbursed by the State Board office from
federal funds and therefore net to zero in these expenditure reports.
The expenditures are reported by fund, program, and object (types of things purchased such as salaries, benefits,
equipment, and travel). The funds included are:
State General Fund & Special Revenue (001, 08A, and 060): Legislative appropriation of the following funds:
001 - General Fund State; 08A - Education Legacy Trust Account; 060- Capital Projects Account (operating funds
provided in the capital budget). (Excluding allocation to SBCTC.)
Operating Fees (149): College operating fees and interest income earned on those fees. (Not appropriated.)
Local Dedicated Fund (148): Consists primarily of fees for courses not funded by the state; lab, course and other
fees established for specific purposes; and income generated from instructional enterprises, such as food service
and auto repair courses. (Not appropriated.)
Grants and Contracts (145): Funds received from governmental or private sources dedicated for specific
restricted purposes. Also included are revenues from contract courses. As noted above, the major federal grants
and the WorkFirst funds that flow through the State Board net zero in the college accounting records and thus are
not reported here. (Not appropriated.)
Constant (FY12$) Dollar Calculations
Historical fiscal data is presented both in current and constant (FY12$) dollars. Current dollars provide a measure of
increases or decreases in funding without inflation adjustments. Constant (FY12$) dollars were calculated using the
“implicit price deflator” adjusted to fiscal years. The following index numbers were used:

Expenditures by Source of Funds
The community and technical
college system spent $1.2 billion
on college operations in fiscal year
2011-12 with $880 million spent
from state and operating fees. This
represents 70 percent of total
expenditures, a decrease of nearly
three percent from the prior year as
local funds, grants, and contracts
made up a slighter larger share of
the total.

Federal Workforce Education Funds – Fiscal Year 2011-12
The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of
2006 provides federal assistance to secondary and postsecondary workforce education programs. The purpose of
the Act is to make the United States more competitive in the
world economy by developing more fully the academic and
occupational skills of all segments of the population.
Adjusted for inflation, the funds from this source have
declined nearly 19 percent over the past five years, due in
large part to the recent elimination of federal funding for the
Tech Prep program.
Title I: Basic Grant provides funds to integrate academic,
vocational, and technical instruction; link secondary and
college education; and increase flexibility in providing
services and activities designed to develop, implement, and
improve vocational and technical education.
Title II: Tech Prep Education provides funds for the
development and operation of “2+2” programs leading from
high school to a two-year associate degree, certificate, or
apprenticeship program. Each grant funds a consortia
comprised of business, labor, community, government and
school, and college leaders. While colleges continue to
offer this program, the federal funding for Tech Prep ended June 2011.

Federal Workforce Education Funds – Fiscal Year 2011-12
Federal workforce education funds were awarded to community and technical college districts based on a "Pell Plus"
formula. The 90 percent of funds that were distributed to the colleges were based on enrollment data of unduplicated
students with a vocational intent, who were Pell/BIA, Worker Retraining, welfare recipients and former welfare recipients
enrolled with a vocational intent, and welfare recipients and former welfare recipients who were attending for employment
related basic skills. The remaining 10 percent of Perkins IV funding was divided so that 9 percent were distributed to rural
schools and 1 percent to schools with a high percentage of vocational students. College districts submitted plans to the State
Board for approval before funds were awarded.

Federal and Special State Basic Skills Funds
Federal Funds
The Adult Education and Family Literacy Act, Title
II of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998,
provides federal funds to supplement state and local
resources expended for literacy and basic skills
instruction. Funds are awarded to community and
technical colleges as well as community-based
organizations. Funds also support staff and program
development provided through the Adult Basic
Education Office at the State Board. Adjusted for
inflation, this funding source has declined five
percent over the past five years.
Basic Grant awards are to be used to establish
education programs for young people and adults age
16 and over whose mastery of basic skills (reading,
writing, speaking in English, and computing) is
insufficient to enable them to function on the job
and in society, to achieve individual goals, and to
develop personal knowledge and potential.
Basic grant funds support four types of instruction:




Adult Basic Education (ABE) and literacy for adults below the ninth grade proficiency level;
English as a Second Language (ESL) for adults with limited English proficiency;
Adult secondary education (ASE) for young people and adults to obtain a high school diploma, or to pass the
General Educational Development (GED) tests;
Instruction to institutionalized adults in prisons, jails, and drug and alcohol rehabilitation residential centers
(previously funded as a line item).
State Funds
Beginning in 2009-10, as colleges were faced with increasing budget cuts, the earmarks for state-funded Basic Skills
enrollments were removed to increase colleges’ spending flexibility. As a result, that was the last year that State Funds were
able to be reported in the table in the same way it had been reported historically.

State WorkFirst Expenditures
WorkFirst is Washington's welfare reform program that helps people in low-income families find jobs, retain jobs, find
better jobs, and become self-sufficient. WorkFirst’s three main goals are to: 1) reduce poverty by helping people to get and
keep jobs, 2) sustain independence by helping people keep and improve jobs, and 3) protect children and other vulnerable
residents by providing for childcare and stopgap funding for emergency situations. What sets WorkFirst apart from other
reform initiatives is the commitment to go beyond simply mandating participants to find work. WorkFirst enables
participants to gain the skills necessary for higher wages, better jobs, and further advancement.
Consistent with the long-standing role of colleges in preparing welfare recipients and other low-income students for work
and job advancement, the colleges and the State Board made a commitment to play a key role in the WorkFirst effort of the
state. The 2011-12 WorkFirst state block grant expenditures fell significantly as a result of changes in state policies for
participation, which impacted the number of participants willing or able to participate and subsequent funding.
SBCTC awards funds to community and technical colleges and WorkFirst training providers at community-based
organizations and private colleges in two portions, 80 percent for funding core services and 20 percent allocated based on
performance of I-BEST enrollments and student achievement.
College expenditures of the $18,540,151 in WorkFirst funds are reimbursed by the State Board office and therefore net to
zero in expenditures reports.

Appendix A:
Full-Time Undergraduate Student Tuition and Fees
Tuition and Fees Required by Statute
Tuition rates for community colleges are controlled by the Legislature either through statute or the biennial operating budget.
Technical colleges have the authority to set tuition individually, although growth rates generally follow those for the community
colleges.
Operating fee: This largest component of tuition (80 percent) is retained locally at the college to support the general
operations of the college. On average the revenue from the operating fee represents about 20 percent of colleges’ general
operating budgets; the state appropriation covers the other 80 percent.
Building fee: The building fee (10 percent of the tuition charge) is collected by the college and sent to the State Treasurer.
The funds are appropriated by the Legislature for capital improvements in the college system.
Services and Activities (S&A) fee: The S&A fee (10 percent of the tuition charge) is retained locally by the colleges and
dedicated to support student programs and activities such as athletics, clubs, childcare and other activities identified by students
at a college. Colleges may set their S&A fee below the maximum authorized, and a few of the colleges exercise this option.
In addition to basic tuition there are other fees charged to students by the colleges. These fees take the form of lab fees,
technology fees, and other miscellaneous fees.
Additionally, students meeting specific statutory criteria may pay reduced fees. Examples include Vietnam and Persian Gulf
veterans. Adult Basic Education and English as a Second Language are offered at $25 per quarter.
In 2010-11, the average resident tuition and fee charge at community colleges nationwide was $3,1001 compared to the $3,326
charged in Washington.

Administrative Staff (FTE): Includes all administrators exempt from the jurisdiction of the Washington Personnel
Resources Board civil service system. One annual FTE in this category is equal to a full-time assignment for 12 months.
Exempt Professional Staff (FTE): All other professional staff exempt from the jurisdiction of the Washington
Personnel Resources Board civil service system. One annual FTE in this category is equal to a full-time assignment for
12 months.
Classified Employee (FTE): Civil service employees who work under a set of conditions determined by the
Washington Personnel Resources Board or as support staff at technical colleges. One annual FTE employee is a
