Program Authorization: Constitution of 1974, Article 8, Sections 6 and 11; Acts 151 and 170 of 1998
Role, Scope, and Mission Statement: The Louisiana Community and Technical College Board of Supervisors is composed of 15 members appointed by the Governor plus two student members. The Board supervises and manages all programs of public post-secondary vocational-technical training and some institutions of higher education which offer associate degrees but not baccalaureate degrees.
Note: The Board is currently developing a mission, goals and objectives. The objectives below have been moved from Schedules 19-678F, 19-681L, and 19-681M in the Department of Education as a result of Acts 151 and 170 of 1998.
OBJECTIVES AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Unless otherwise indicated, all objectives are to be accomplished during or by the end of FY 1999-2000. Performance indicators are made up of two parts: name and value. The indicator name describes what is being measured. The indicator value is the numeric value or level achieved within a given measurement period. For budgeting purposes, performance indicator values are shown for the prior fiscal year, the current fiscal year, and alternative funding scenarios (continuation budget level and Executive Budget recommendation level) for the ensuing fiscal year (the fiscal year of the budget document).
RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR THE PROGRAM
The source of funding for this program includes general fund, self-generated revenue and federal funds. Self-generated revenues are provided through Technical instructor certification fees. The sources of federal funds include Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Act and Pell grants authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Amendment.
ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDATION
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 2579.75% of the existing operating budget. It represents 2579.75% of the total request ($1,500,000) for this program. The major reason for the increase from the existing operating budget is due to the transfer of the administrative functions of the Office of Technical College System from the Department of Education. Also, an additional $700,000 in General Fund and (12) new positions were added.
