Legislative Budget and Finance Committee
OtherAI Summary
The Legislative Budget and Finance Committee conducted a study pursuant to Senate Resolution 2011-147 examining the need for public community college programs in rural Pennsylvania, completed in December 2011. The committee found that while Pennsylvania's 14 local independent public community colleges play an important role in workforce development and economic growth, they are not geographically, programmatically, or financially accessible to residents of rural communities. The report recommends that the Commonwealth consider various approaches used by other states to strategically place public community colleges statewide to ensure equitable access to publicly supported postsecondary education.

The Council recommended making itself permanent, applying the performance-based model to new funds beginning fiscal year 2026-2027, and establishing a maximum performance allocation with metrics to determine earned amounts based on institutional performance. The report includes summaries from four public hearings, testimony from various stakeholders, and appendices detailing performance metrics and in-demand occupation codes.
