1 Mississippi s Community & Junior Colleges Fiscal Year 2017 Legislative Budget Request

2 Nationally Recognized In August, Mississippi s community college system was ranked the number one community college system by WalletHub. This ranking was based on cost and financing, classroom experience, education outcomes, and career outcomes. Accessibility Mississippi s community colleges offer open accessibility for all. No matter the educational background of a student, a community college is an option for that individual. When headcount enrollment, workforce trainees, adult basic education, high school equivalency prep classes, and various other types of classes which are needed by the local communities are considered, our community colleges teach and train approximately 250,000 of our citizens in the course of an average year.

8 Funding Funding FY 2015 Distribution of Educational Funding According to FY 2015 figures, community colleges receive only 7 cents of each dollar the state spends on Education. Revenue by Source- Fiscal Year 2015 System Wide Total Revenue: $601,658,682 7

9 Funding Expenditures by Object- Fiscal Year 2015 System Wide Total Expenditures: $601,658,682 Expenditures by Program- Fiscal Year 2015 System Wide Total Expenditures: $601,658, % of the community college budget is spent on instruction. 8

10 Funding State Support Per Student Community colleges have lost ground in real dollars in state support per FTE student since FY In FY 2000, we received $4,522 per student and in FY 2016, we are estimated to receive $4,527. That is $265 less per student than we received 15 years ago! We expect to serve in excess of 63,000 FTE students taking credit courses in FY Community colleges and universities are both receiving less state support per student in FY 2016 than was received in FY Educational Entity Actual FY 2000 Estimated FY 2016 Increase/Decrease K-12 per ADA $3,504 $5,612 +2,108 Universities per FTE $10,175 $9,765 -$410 Community colleges per FTE $4,522 $4,257 -$265 When you take into consideration the impact that inflation has on the costs of goods and services over time and adjust community college appropriated dollars for inflation, community colleges are much worse off. Just to have kept up with inflation, community colleges would currently need state support in the amount of $5,805 per student, which is $1,549 more per student than we are receiving now, or approximately $98 million more. 9

12 Innovative Mississippi Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (MI-BEST) One in five adults in Mississippi is a high school dropout. These dropouts became hard to employ adults because they lack basic academic skills and job specific training. Building upon our Dropout Recovery Initiative, our community colleges have received a $6 million, three-year grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and are adopting the evidence-based MI-BEST model. The goal is to enroll low-skill adults in career pathways that combine GED preparation, skills training, and workforce credentials in an intensive program that produces adults who can compete for jobs, get hired, and stay employed. MI-BEST career pathways target middle-skill occupations where there is a labor demand. A close collaboration with the Mississippi Department of Employment Security, the State Workforce Investment Board, the local Planning and Development Districts, Department of Human Services, and the Mississippi Development Authority is an essential component of MI-BEST. The two goals of the MI-BEST program are to scale the integrated career pathways statewide among each of Mississippi s community colleges and to increase family sustaining wages among highs school dropouts and non-traditional students in Mississippi by improving educational outcomes and job training skills. Additionally, each college is to graduate a minimum of 25 MI-BEST participants each year of the grant for an overall total of 1,125 graduates during the three-year Kellogg funding cycle. Initial career pathways proposed by the community colleges for the MI-BEST program include industrial maintenance, culinary arts, welding, maritime craft technology, medical office assisting, business office assisting, manufacturing, healthcare assisting, certified nursing assistant, commercial truck driving, and commercial & residential maintenance. 11

13 Workforce Training Mississippi s 15 community colleges provide the necessary workforce training to employees that is critical in maintaining current business and industry in the state and to also help attract future business and industry. Our workforce training system delivers training that ranges from basic skills to advanced technology skills. The training is delivered through the 15 Workforce Development Centers, and the following are accomplishments from Fiscal year FY 2015 Accomplishments FY 2015 Total Workforce Training Projects Completed* 877 Total Workforce Training Classes* 21,382 Total Hours of Workforce Training Instruction* 452,179 Duplicated Workforce Trainees * 281,463 Percent Trained at Industry Site* 53% Percent Trained on Campus* 41% Percent Trained in Mobile Units and Other Locations* 6% Companies and Businesses Served* 509 Average Cost per Workforce Training Project* $24,949 Average Cost per Workforce Trainee (Duplicated)* $78 Number of Career Readiness Certificates Issued** 9,459 *source: GCR **source: MCCB CRC Database (based on FY 2015 data submitted as of 9/21/15) 12

14 Economic Impact of Our FY 2017 Budget Request For FY 2017, the community colleges are requesting an increase of $82.6 million for fair and equitable funding. Of this request, $64.5 will go towards one-half of the total amount of Mid-Level Funding; $8 million will be used for repair and renovation to campus facilities; and $10.1 million for MI-BEST Career Pathways. The University Research Center took our FY 2017 Budget Request and analyzed its economic impact on the state. This report shows that in the first decade of program efforts from the additional funding, on average, 2,083 jobs will be filled, resulting in increased total disposable incomes of an average of $127.1 million. Additionally, increases in estimated sales taxes are $44.5 million and estimated increases of income taxes are $26.7 million. Furthermore, the economic impact study shows that an increase of $500,000 for unplanned pregnancy prevention efforts will save the state an estimated $541,461 annually. Finally, the $82.7 million spend on workforce improvements would return $71.2 million in taxes to the state and save state agencies an additional $5.41 million in program spending for unplanned pregnancies.

15 New Career and Technical Education Programs As new economic challenges impact all sectors of our society, Career and Technical Education (CTE) must continue to evolve in order to meet the economic needs of Mississippi s communities. CTE programs serve as a bridge for many high-skill, high-wage, high-demand occupations or professions that require one or two year of education or training beyond high school, but less than a baccalaureate degree. Last year, approximately 19,200 students enrolled in CTE programs at Mississippi s community colleges, representing 22%of the total credit student population. Nearly 7,000 of these students completed a CTE certificate or degree and entered into employment fields such as healthcare, manufacturing, information technology, construction, and legal/protective services. Community colleges must train students for jobs that are available today and for jobs of the future. Specific new CTE programs requested by the colleges are: Community College Coahoma Community College Copiah-Lincoln Community College East Central Community College East Mississippi Community College Hinds Community College Holmes Community College Itawamba Community College Jones County Junior College Meridian Community College Mississippi Delta Community College Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College Northeast Mississippi Community College Northwest Mississippi Community College Pearl River Community College Southwest Mississippi Community College New CTE Program Request Paramedic Technology Welding Electrical Lineman Electromechanical Engineering Technology Medical Assisting Physical Therapy Assistant Nuclear Medicine Diesel Mechanic Collision Repair Technology & Pharmacy Technology Respiratory Therapy Physical Therapy Welding Medial Assistant Health Information Technology Food Service Production We are requesting a total of $3.75 million, or $250,000, per college and 27 new positions for new CTE programs in CY
