1994-95 Legislative Program, Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District.
Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community Coll. District, El Cajon, CA.
This booklet presents policy positions adopted by the Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District Governing Board, forming a legislative agenda for the college focused on the state issues of access, financing, economic development, and regulatory impediments; and the federal issues of financial aid, workforce development, and administrative burdens. A summary of the state issues indicates that: (1) with respect to access, positions include opposition to significant tuition increases which would negatively affect enrollment; opposition to differential fees; support for additional exemptions to the differential fee for public service employees, contracted education, and mandated continuing education courses; and strengthening transfer and articulation processes; (2) with respect to financing, positions include opposition to enrollment fee increases; advocacy for "hold harmless" provisions to mitigate the impact of enrollment declines; support of legislation that would require the state to "backfill" property tax shortfalls; and support of the reduction or exemption of community colleges from state and local taxes; (3) in the area of economic development, positions include support for the designation of community colleges as the state's primary delivery system for workforce training and retraining; support for initiatives that include transition skills in the provision of workplace training and basic literacy; support for funding for defense conversion; and support of proposals to encourage the use of industry equipment by community college students; and (4) with respect to regulatory impediments, positions include support for greater flexibility at the local level; support for the reduction of the number of state mandates; support for accompanying new mandates with appropriate funding; and support for Workers Compensation reform to reduce costs and enhance service delivery. Background and positions on each state and local issue are included. (KP)
