NOCCCD BUDGET CENTRAL
|
Q: How are community colleges funded?
A: Community colleges have more in common with K-12 schools than with other post secondary institutions. Community colleges receive about three-fourths of their funding from the state General Fund, the same percentage as do K-12 schools. Funds are allocated on the basis of full-time equivalent (FTE) students. The Board of Governors and the State Chancellor allocate funds to individual districts while locally elected boards and the campus presidents decide how funds will be spent within individual districts and colleges.
