Planning and Budgeting Council: Budget Allocation Model Workshop—TEAM #2
CRITICAL ELEMENTS
1. Model should be easily understood and
transparent.
2. Model should reflect core mission and values
statement.
In PCCD
MODEL?
Yes or No
NO
IMPROVEMENTS
NO
Only with additional incentives; add a
productivity model; include student success
priority.
Yet should be
Eliminate #7; #1 is not feasible
3. Model should be re-evaluated annually.
NO
4. Model should require a balanced budget with
no less than a 5% reserve.
5. Model should be implemented in a fashion so as
to not place undue hardship upon any
particular college.
6. Model does not include funding for categorical
programs and grants, as they are specifically
funded in most cases.
7. Model should allocate base resources upon FullTime Equivalent Students served.
8. To the extent growth is funded, additional
resources available should be allocated based
upon where growth occurs and is based upon
prior year funded growth.
9. In the event of decreased in FTES, model
should adjust the College’s base allocation to a
like degree in subsequent year.
10. Stabilization provided for in the event of FTES
declines.
YES
YES
Per State model.
11. Regulatory Compliance (i.e., FON, 50% law,
etc.)
Yes
50% law should be a minimum standard.
Delete
Delete this given fiscal state
YES
Only focused on Fund #1
YES
Analysis must be conducted for cost producing
CTE programs
Further study required for strategic growth in the
district.
Not reasonable
NO
Other suggested criteria to consider in a Budget Allocation Model:
 Eliminate #7 above; replace with SB 361 which has an economy of scale built in
 Identify Budget information with A and B options
A = fixed costs and benefits
A1: Actual fixed costs and benefits
A2: Equalization Model:
Equitable—Budget must reflect differences in programs
Consider productivity model that is robust as defined by PTES/FTEF; enrollment/successful completion
of courses, degrees, transfers; placement of jobs
B= Discretionary, which carries over and encourages strategic planning
 International Education needs to be separated, not built into the base—the lump sum of a minimum of $1
million directly to the colleges.
