AS REPORTED BY COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION, MARCH 23, 1987
BACKGROUND:
State law authorizes community college governing boards to offer educational services on a contractual basis to private or governmental entities, under rules adopted by the State Board for Community College Education. These contracts may be based on a special fee which is not determined by statutory tuition and fee rates. The fee will go to the participating district, and must not be less than the full instructional cost of providing the service.
SUMMARY:
When community college districts provide educational services on a contractual basis, fees charged for those services must include any salary increases authorized by the Legislature for community college employees during the term of the agreements.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED SENATE AMENDMENT:
Statutory language which prohibits a community college trustee from jointly serving as an elected officer or member of the legislative authority of any municipal corporation is deleted.
Fiscal Note: none requested
