Higher education
Under current law, the TCS Board must establish a formula for annually allocating certain amounts of state aid to technical college districts (district) based on each district's performance in prior years with respect to seven criteria selected by the district from a total of nine specified criteria. These criteria include the placement rate of students in jobs related to the students' programs of study; the number of degrees and certificates awarded in high-demand fields; the transition of adult students from basic education to skills training; the workforce training provided to businesses and individuals; participation in collaboration or efficiency initiatives; and training or services provided to special populations unique to the district.
This bill adds, as another criterion for performance-based allocation of state aid, a district's development and implementation of a policy to award course credit for relevant educational experience or training not obtained through an institution of higher education, including skills training received during military service.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
