Awaiting Signature
Requires SBCTC to facilitate coordination of aerospace training programs including:
annual evaluations of certain programs for completion and job placement results,
and budget recommendations specific to training programs. Makes Renton Technical
College students eligible for aerospace training loans.
Eliminates State Campus Safety Reporting requirements for colleges.
Gives Department of Enterprise Services (DES) clearer authority over higher
education purchasing and contracting. DES shall account for differentiation in
procurement practices and needs among state agencies and establish policies,
standards and procedures to promote greater efficiency. Higher Education is clearly
defined as a state agency. Higher Education "non-state" funds are exempt from sole
source requirements.
Beginning July 2013, state agencies must require employees responsible for
developing, executing or managing procurements or contracts to complete DES
approved training or certification programs. Beginning July 2015, no agency
employee may execute or manage contracts unless the employee has met the
training or certification requirements set by DES.
Creates the Student Achievement Council (SAC) to replace the HECB July, 2012.
Executive Director (ED) appointed by the Governor from list of three names
submitted by SAC. Termination of ED requires majority of council. SAC composed of
nine members: five citizens appointed by the Governor (one a student); and one
representative each from the public baccalaureate system, the two-year system, the
K-12 system, and the Independent Colleges of Washington.
Among its duties, SAC must: develop strategic roadmap; develop performance plans;
conduct system reviews; research with Education Research and Data Center barriers
to educational attainment and transitions; track progress toward goals and
disseminate results; encourage students to prepare for college and career;
coordinate sectors; administer Financial Aid.
Requires SBCTC to assess whether any of the “complete to compete” metrics should
be used as performance measures for CTCs.
Creates Joint Higher Education Committee – eight legislators (two from each caucus).

Lifelong Learning Program
Administrative, academic and athletic department employees, including student
employees, of institutions of higher education must report if they have reasonable
cause to believe that a child has suffered abuse or neglect. The report may be made
to either law enforcement or DSHS. All other employees must report suspected
abuse or neglect immediately to the individual designated by the institution. Higher
education institutions must ensure that all employees know of their reporting
responsibilities.
By July 2013, the Office of Student Financial Assistance must provide a financial aid
counseling curriculum to higher education institutions participating in the State Need
Grant program. The curriculum must be available via Web site and made known to
students by referencing or linking to the Web site on the Conditions of Award
statement provided to each recipient.
The Lifelong Learning Program is established at the Workforce Board to allow
employees to create Lifelong Learning Accounts (LiLAs). These voluntary, employeeowned savings accounts may be used to pay education and training expenses. The
Board may partner with financial institutions and nonprofits to develop operating
procedures, program policies and system options.

Mission of the Centralia College
Bachelor of Applied Science in Management
graduate individuals who are well-grounded in management
“Toknowledge
and ethical values, who possess the requisite skills in
communications, teamwork, and business fundamentals, and who are
ready to provide leadership and effective decision-making to both existing
and startup organizations.
”
 Fulfillment of this mission is based upon the achievement of
specific program outcomes that derive from course content, high
expectations, teaching methods and strong faculty.
 Graduates of the BASM will have the knowledge and skills to
enable them to continue their professional and educational
development through graduate-level education.
The BASM will be good for students &
our community?
 BASM provides a pathway from a technical to a managerial career
 CC and the faculty are an important part of our community
 Students can work for a living and participate in the program as
the courses will be delivered in a hybrid (blended) mode
 Lectures and many tests will be online and taken at students’
convenience
 Discussions with the cohort and instructor will be face-to-face on
campus on a weekly basis
 2010 US Dept. of Education meta study concluded “…contrasting
blends of online and face-to- face instruction with conventional
face-to-face classes,
blended instruction has been more effective.”
The BASM is needed for our community
 Lewis County is well below state averages for attainment
 Only 26.3% of residents have 2 or 4 year degrees (Lumina Fndtn)
 Earnings versus a high school diploma:
(Bureau of Labor Statistics 2011)
 ATA & other two year degrees + 22%
 Bachelor’s
+ 66%
 Master’s + 132%
 A February 2012 preliminary report from the State Board for
Community & Technical Colleges
 2 of every 3 new jobs created in WA in 2012-2018 will require a
bachelor’s degree
 WA State is falling short of creating enough
educated residents
Education: two-way leverage
Bureau of Labor Statistics 2011
For a healthy future, we must change!
BASM Program Outcomes
 Communications skills
 Leadership and management
 Decision-making

BASM is Needed
 Lewis County has an inadequate number of educated citizens
for leadership within current businesses and organizations
 Lewis County must improve our relative educational
attainment to attract future employers
 Centralia College already has an excellent relationship with
the community and BASM will just strengthen
 The participation of key organizational leaders on the
Advisory Committee speaks to the need
