on K-12 and the Supreme Court’s recent opinion on the McCleary case. The requested funding adjustments and policy additions in the SBCTC proposed budget were not funded. For your information, the SBCTC 2018 legislative agenda and budget requests are
<a href="https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/programs-services/legislative-outreach/legislative-agenda-2018.aspx">
available here</a>. Below is a summary of the items in the Governor’s operating budget that would impact the community and technical college system.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">·
<b>Financial Aid:</b> There is $12.8 million for state match to the Opportunity Scholarship Program and $1 million to expand the Opportunity Scholarship program to serve student enrolled in professional-technical certificate and degree programs.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">·
<b>Guided Pathways:</b> The Governor’s budget directs all colleges to begin planning for Guided Pathways in the current biennium using existing resources. The proviso language is added to section of the budget that provides $3 million ($1.5 million per year)
for Guided Pathways work. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">·
<b>Pension Stabilization Fund Transfer: </b>In the enacted 2017-19 budget, the legislature shifted a portion of General Fund pension costs to the Pension Funding Stabilization Account, and instructed the Office of Financial Management to allocate this change
to agency budgets. For SBCTC, this shifts a $68 million appropriation from the State General Fund to the Pension Stabilization Fund, but it is has no impact on overall funding levels.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">·
<b>Health Benefit Rate Reduction: </b>The Public Employees' Benefits Board (PEBB) reduced health insurance rates for fiscal year 2019 to reflect updated actuarial projections and program costs. This reduces the fiscal year 2019 funding rate from $957 per
month to $906. It results in a reduction of $6 million in state funds in fiscal year 2019.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">·
<b>Paid Family Medical Leave:</b> A paid family and medical leave program was created by the Legislature last session. Beginning January 1, 2019, the state, as an employer, will be responsible for payment of employer premiums for employees not covered by a
collective bargaining agreement. The Governor’s budget provides $307,000 to help fund this obligation.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">·
<b>Career Connected Learning:</b> Funding for one full-time employee is provided to the SBCTC to work with the Office of the Governor and several other agencies in developing a strategic plan for youth apprenticeship and career-connected learning.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">·
<b>I-732 Adjustment</b>: There is a slight increase in funding, $150,000, due to an increase in the Seattle Consumer Price Index.
