2012 SUPPLEMENTAL CAPITAL BUDGET ALLOCATIONS (RESOLUTION 12-05-13)

capital budget allocations. The capital budget includes funding for major projects and equipment and

its study session the previous day.
The Legislature passed two bills for the 2012 capital budget on April 11, 2012 and the Governor
signed them into law on April 23, 2012. The supplemental budget provides the community and
technical college system with $135,255,000 in new appropriations and financing authority for capital
projects in our system’s priority order. It also provides appropriations and authority for projects
totaling another $72,100,000. The budget will significantly improve our ability to address existing
capital needs at the community and technical colleges.
MOTION: Moved by Erin Mundinger and seconded by Jim Bricker that the State Board adopt
Resolution 12-05-13 (ATTACHMENT #5) to approve the 2012 Supplemental Capital Budget
Allocations.

PARENTING EDUCATION WAIVER WAC CHANGE
Kathy Goebel, State Board staff, reported that currently, parenting education students who are
simultaneously participating in cooperative preschool programs are provided a mandatory 85 percent
tuition waiver established in WAC 131-28-026 (4) (b). She also gave an overview of parenting
education enrollment trends and student demographics.
Scott Morgan, Interim President of Spokane Community College, and Laura Saunders, Interim
President of Bellevue College described WACTC’s proposal to change the waiver from a mandatory
to a local college option and to expand the permissive waiver definition to include all delivery modes
for parenting education classes to better meet community needs.
Barbara Yasui, Parent Education Director, Shoreline Community College; Barbara Smith, Parent
Education Director, Skagit Valley College; and Melinda Brennan, Parent Education Director, Walla
Walla Community College, described potential impact to parenting programs if the proposed changes
are approved.
In accordance with the Open Public Meetings Act, a public hearing on the proposed changes to the
parenting education waiver is scheduled for June 21, 2012 at Clover Park Technical College.
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT INITIATIVE UPDATE
Jan Yoshiwara and David Prince, State Board staff, presented an update on the Student Achievement
Initiative (SAI) Advisory Group’s work. They reviewed the current SAI framework and proposed
changes.
Much of the original SAI framework is unchanged; however, two sets of changes are proposed.
The first change reflects current innovations underway in re-designing pre-college courses. The
proposed change in this area shifts away from counting the number of levels advanced to measuring
after the highest level of pre-college math or English is passed.
The second set of changes is focused on paying more attention to student progression and retention.
These changes include points for students earning 45 degree credits, measuring basic skills students
beyond basic skills, and measuring students who return and continue to earn points.
David introduced members of the Advisory Group: John Walstrum, President, Clover Park Technical
College; Teresa Holland, Vice President, Administrative Services, Yakima Valley Community College;
Terri McKenzie, Vice President for Student and Instructional Services, Spokane Community College;
and Ty Jones, Director of Institutional Research, Columbia Basin College. The panel described the
college perspective of what effects the proposed changes will have.
