[Wsssc] Important CiHS funding update

[Lauren Hibbs]

Dear IC and WSSSC members,

For College in the High School (CiHS) programs that operated during 2022-2023, SBCTC has received approval from OFM to disperse funds to colleges. These funds are based on 2022-2023 enrollment data sent to OFM from SBCTC on 10/15/23. CiHS colleges should expect these funds in their next allocation which will be distributed on or before the 5th of January.

Legislative Overview of SB 5048
SB 5048<https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?billnumber=5048&year=2023>: Eliminates College in the High School fees for all students in 9th grade through 12th grade that attend a public high school or charter school and are enrolled in a public institution of higher education.

  *   Community and Technical Colleges will be reimbursed at $300 per student and capped at $3500 per course
  *   "Course" means a class taught under a contract between an institution of higher education and a single high school teacher on an articulated subject in which the student is eligible to receive college credit
     *   SBCTC interprets a 'course' in the bill language as a single class iteration of a course, taught by a single high school teacher. This means a 'class' or a 'section'
     *   The definition of class vs course is in here: https://www.sbctc.edu/resources/documents/colleges-staff/policies-rules/policy-manual/definitions-of-terms-for-enrollment-reporting.pdf
