Message from Chabot College’s President I want to alert you to the fact that for the first time in 50 years, we are printing a spring semester schedule that is really two schedules. Why must we do so? The State of California has been cutting funds to California Community Colleges; since 2008-2009, they have been cut $809 million. This year the budget was cut $300 million and it could be cut by another $338 million in January 2013. If the Governor’s budget does not hold, Chabot College will not be able to offer our full schedule of classes. We will need to reduce our spring schedule of transfer, vocational, and basic skills classes by almost 100 courses. When you look at the Chabot College Spring 2013 class schedule, which will be available on the Chabot College website during the week of October 15 (www.chabotcollege.edu), you will see those classes we will be able to offer if the Governor’s Tax Measure (Proposition 30) and the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District Measure I pass. Here are the facts: IF PROPOSITION 30 DOES NOT PASS • Chabot College would need to reduce roughly 100 course sections starting with this Spring’s 2013 schedule. (See reverse side of this postcard for courses subject to cancellation.) • It would trigger cuts in January 2013 totaling $5.2 million for the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District. IF PROPOSITION 30 PASSES • Chabot College will be able to offer this Spring’s 2013 full schedule of course offerings. • $550 million would be generated for California Community Colleges for 2012-2013 and $3 billion over a 7-year timeframe. • There would be an increase in sales tax of 1/4 of a cent for 4 years. • There would be an increase in personal income tax for people who earn $250,000 and above per year. IF MEASURE I DOES NOT PASS • Chabot-Las Positas Community College District would not receive roughly $5.6 million per year for six years to provide classes and services to students. • Voters would not pay $28 parcel tax per year for six years. IF MEASURE I PASSES • Chabot-Las Positas Community College District would receive roughly $5.6 million per year for six years effective July 1, 2013. • Chabot College would be able to maintain its current course offerings and services to students. • Voters would pay $28 parcel tax per year for six years. EDUCATE YOURSELVES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE Now more than ever, we need to educate ourselves about the different ballot measures before us on November 6. Learn how these measures will affect our futures and those of our families and neighborhoods. Sincerely, Susan Sperling, Ph.D. President For a complete listing of the Spring 2013 class schedule, visit Chabot College’s website: www.chabotcollege.edu The following Career Technical Education (CTE), Basic Skills, Personal Development, and Transfer courses are subject to cancellation depending on the outcome of the Governor’s budget.
