§ 81823 District Capital Outlay Plans

Key Takeaways

  • •If a community college district has multiple colleges or centers, it can make separate plans for each one if students are too far away or can't afford to travel to classes.
  • •The district can also make separate plans if the current colleges don't meet the special needs of a large group of students from a specific ethnic background.
  • •If the district decides to make separate plans, it must explain why and provide proof that it's necessary.
  • •The state will check both the reasons given and the plans themselves to make sure they make sense.

Example

A community college district has two colleges. One college is in a big city, and the other is in a small town far away. Many students in the small town can't afford the gas or bus fare to travel to the city for classes.

The district can make a separate plan for the small town college to make sure those students can still go to school without spending too much money on travel.
