The Public Community/Junior Colleges and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board shall jointly develop recommendations for an allocation system for student success points for the 2016-17 biennium. The allocation system should allocate funds to college districts for improvement in student achievement. The allocation system shall be developed in a manner that compares the performance of the college district to itself using the allocation for student success points in the 2014-15 biennium as the baseline for comparison. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board shall report these recommendations to the Legislative Budget Board and the Governor no later than August 1, 2014.

  18. SB 441 directs the Texas Workforce Commission and THECB to develop expedited workforce programs The Texas Fast Start Program calls for the TWC and THECB to collaborate with Texas public community and technical colleges to identify and develop methods to support competency-based, rapid-deployment education delivery models. • A Fast Start Program must: • Focus on current and future needs of Texas employers • Enable completion of workforce certificates and degrees at an accelerated pace in local/regional high-demand field • Incorporate competency-based learning techniques • Provide pathways for veterans, high school graduates and current workforce members seeking retraining

  19. The Board has created a special task force to focus on community and technical college issues Membership: Dr. Dennis Golden, Chair Dr. Durga Agrawal Mr. Munir Lalani Charge: Improve Board communication and collaboration with community and technical colleges. Assist the Board in bringing a more concerted focus on issues pertaining to strengthening two-year colleges and improving student success.

  20. The THECB has created a new Two-Year College Stakeholder Committee • Responsibilities of the Two-Year College Stakeholder Committee will include: • Formulate a five-year comprehensive statewide Strategic Plan for community colleges; • Provide the Legislature with data/information that deals with unique community college finance issues; • Build collaborative relationships that will allow the state to leverage the results of the many community college improvement initiatives now underway when those initiatives can demonstrate beneficial impact. Each community college governing board may nominate one trustee or regent to the committee. Five nominees from community colleges will be selected to serve.

  21. The new TSI assessment will be the first of its kind in the country and align with existing developmental education reform efforts • Aligns to the Texas College and Career Readiness Standards. • Aligns to nationalABE standards and will diagnose accurate placement. • Includes diagnostic component to identify specific student weaknesses. • Board approved no-cost contract with The College Board. • Computer-Adaptive Assessment. • Low cost for institutions ($11). The new TSI assessment will help differentiate between those who are within at least two years of college readiness and those who are at adult-basic education skill levels. This will enable institutions to better align intervention strategies with student needs to produce better student outcomes. 23
