Texas Could Tie Community College Funding to Student Outcomes
Kate McGee, The Texas Tribune
A commission charged by the Texas Legislature to suggest new ways of funding Texas community colleges is poised to recommend a complete system overhaul that ties state dollars to how successful schools are at getting students to graduation or four-year universities.
The Texas Commission on Community College Finance also says the state needs to better invest in its need-based financial aid programs to help more students access the programs they need, whether it's a certificate or associate degree. |
