Fiscal Update
The District Consultation Council (DC3) launched a working group to draft and recommend a Resource Allocation Model (RAM) for the District. The working group is comprised of faculty, classified, and management across the District. The group will recommend a model to DC3. The Chancellor will review the proposed model and make a recommendation to the Board’s Finance Committee and the full Governing Board by May/June 2023. The working group recognizes that it will be an iterative process and that it will likely take the District a multi-year transition to the allocation model. The working group has finalized its charter and received an overview of the Student-Centered Funding Formula (SCFF). UC Davis’s Wheelhouse released this report that provides a good overview of the SCFF. MGI Advocacy is hired by the District for its legislative advocacy efforts and this report reflects that the state’s receipts are coming in below the projections for the current year.
