[Wsssc] College in the High School - SB 5048

[Lauren Hibbs]

Dear College Leadership and College in the High School Administrators,

Please see the important information below regarding funding for CiHS. The SBCTC is working closely with OSPI, Council of Presidents (COP), and Education Research & Data Center (ERDC) to provide an updated CiHS FAQ document, policy guidance, and a webinar this fall. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

Appreciate your patience while we navigate these changes.

[Sent from outside SBCTC]

Good Morning,

There have been questions about the implementation of SB 5048 related to College in the High School (CIHS). This message is to give you an update on some work we've done at SBCTC and the outcome of meetings and messages exchanged between OFM, Legislative Staff, SBCTC, and other higher education institutions affected. You can read the session law that was created by SB 5048 here: 5048-S2.SL.pdf (wa.gov)<https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2023-24/Pdf/Bills/Session%20Laws/Senate/5048-S2.SL.pdf?q=20230613102750>

The crux of these conversations have been on how the funding is to be calculated and distributed. Here's what the mutual understanding between Legislative Staff, OFM, SBCTC, and the Council Of Presidents has determined.

  *   For FY24, colleges will report (through the State Board) to the legislature the number of classes of CIHS that the college offered in the 2022-23 Academic Year. That report will allow OFM to release funding to you that you can use to finance FY24 CIHS classes. This funding likely will not be provided until mid-November at the earliest.

     *   If for some reason the amount of funding set aside in the legislative budget is insufficient, then there will be additional allocation added in the FY24 supplemental budget and colleges will be made whole for their calculated FY23 amounts.

  *   For the FY24 report (based on AY 2022-23), colleges should not recode enrollments. SBCTC will work with colleges on the best way to accurately count the students and classes for funding reports.
  *   For funding in FY25 and beyond, SBCTC will work with colleges on the best way to code enrollments so that our reporting can be "on-the-fly" and not require manual reconfiguration. That will be for Fall 2023 enrollements and beyond.
  *   Each year, we will report the previous fiscal year's CIHS enrolments in October, receive funding shortly thereafter for the current fiscal year. We will always be lagged one year between the funding and the activity.
  *   If you expand CIHS classes, you'll eventually get funded for those additional classes, but not until the next fiscal year.

Hopefully this helps explain the timing of the reporting and funding. More information will be forthcoming about details on coding your enrollments in FY24, so this message will not go into detail on that.
