FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES

The mission of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) is to provide leadership and coordination for the Texas higher education system and to

promote access, affordability, quality, success, and cost efficiency through 60x30TX, resulting in a globally competitive workforce that positions Texas as an

international leader.

Higher education improves the lives of Texans. Our colleges and universities educate our teachers, nurses, and technicians. They find cures for life-threatening diseases

and develop technologies that make our lives easier. They inspire, educate, and equip our students to be their best, encouraging them to be more civic-minded, helping

them interact in diverse communities, and giving them a passion for lifelong learning. They retrain our adult population, including veterans, helping them find meaningful

careers.

Because of the importance of higher education, Texans united around the goals of the previous statewide plan, Closing the Gaps by 2015. Over a 15-year period,

beginning in 2000, the Legislature established and funded new higher education institutions, appropriated $3.3 billion for TEXAS Grants to help low-income students

attend college, and increased funding for programs in critical fields. Institutions of higher education in the state responded by increasing access and improving

completions.

CLOSING THE GAPS (2000 – 2015)

Closing the Gaps provided the focus and direction for the Coordinating Board’s efforts to ensure that higher education meets the needs of students, taxpayers and

employers. The plan identified four key goals for the state to meet so that Texas will have the educated populace needed for a vibrant economy, competitive workforce,

and strong social fabric.

• Participation The statewide participation goal – to enroll about 630,000 more students in fall 2015 than in 2000 – was very nearly reached. By fall 2015, enrollment

at public, independent, and career institutions in Texas reached 1,643,879, or 605,114 (58.3%) more than in fall 2000 and 96% of the participation goal. African

American and Hispanic enrollment increases were particularly strong, increasing by 110,298 (97.7%) and 329,700 (136.6%), respectively. Females continued to

participate in higher education at a much higher rate than males.

• Success The state first attained the statewide success goal – to award 210,000 bachelor’s degrees, associate degrees, and certificates in FY 2011. Awards by public,

independent, and career institutions continued to grow thereafter, reaching 258,795 in FY 2015.

• Excellence Several Texas institutions rank in the Top 10 among public institutions nationwide for their excellence. For the first time, The University of Texas at

Austin (UT-Austin) tied for no. 1, according to the Center for Measuring University Performance (CMUP) among public research universities. In the areas of “resources

and education,” CMUP recognized UT-Austin and Texas A&M University (TAMU) at no. 2 and no. 7, respectively, among the nation’s public research universities.

The 2017 U.S. News rankings of graduate programs at public and independent institutions placed UT-Austin at no. 1 in petroleum engineering and in business

accounting. UT-Austin tied for no. 2 in civil engineering, ranked no. 3 in business information systems and in education administration and supervision, no. 4 in special

education and in environmental/environmental health engineering and no. 6 in business entrepreneurship. Texas A&M’s graduate programs were tied for no. 2 in

petroleum engineering, no. 3 in nuclear engineering, and tied for no. 3 in biological/agricultural engineering. The University of Houston was tied for no. 2 in health care

law and tied for no. 6 in part-time law. This is a partial list of programs receiving high rankings from U.S. News.

• Research In FY 2014, federal science and engineering research and development obligations to Texas institutions totaled $1.36 billion, or 5.0 percent of national

research and development obligations. That amount compares with $0.83 billion in FY 1999 and $1.47 billion in FY 2011. Texas ranked no. 6 in federal obligations

behind California, New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts in FY 2014. In FY 2015, state R&D expenditures totaled $4.06 billion, exceeding the 2015

target by $1.06 billion.

60X30TX (2015 – 2030)

The new higher education plan for the next 15 years, 60x30TX, strives for 60 percent of Texans aged 25 to 34 to attain a certificate or degree by 2030. The plan includes

four goals:

Overarching Goal: 60x30

By 2030, at least 60 percent of Texans ages 25-34 will have a certificate or degree. The 60x30 goal is essential to the future prosperity of Texas. The 60x30TX Plan is

designed to ensure that a competitive and prosperous future remains for students seeking to better their lives and the lives of their families.

8/19/2016 2:30:48PM




Second Goal: Completion

By 2030, at least 550,000 students in that year will complete a certificate, associate, bachelor’s, or master’s from an institution of higher education in Texas.

Third Goal: Marketable Skills

By 2030, all graduates from Texas public institutions of higher education will have completed programs with identified marketable skills. Students need to be aware of

the marketable skills embedded in their academic programs, and institutions must make certain that students graduate with these skills.

Fourth Goal: Student Debt

By 2030, undergraduate student loan debt will not exceed 60 percent of first-year wages for graduates of Texas public institutions. The student debt goal aims to help

student borrowers complete their programs with manageable debt.

TRI-AGENCY WORKFORCE INITIATIVE

On March 7, 2016, Governor Greg Abbott established the Tri-Agency Workforce Initiative to, “assess local economic activity, examine workforce challenges and

opportunities, and consider innovative approaches to meeting the state’s workforce goals.”

The Commissioners of the three agencies -- Higher Education Commissioner Raymund Paredes, Texas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath and Texas

Workforce Commissioners Andres Alcantar, Ruth R. Hughs and Julian Alvarez III – were charged with the following:

• Commissioners should identify and advance public and higher education initiatives that make college more affordable for families and help students enter the

workforce more quickly with marketable skills.

• Commissioners should work with industry and local stakeholders to assess local workforce needs and identify innovative workforce development models that

directly coordinate with industry partners and promote post-secondary success. The Commissioners should include career and technical education (CTE) and science,

technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education models in their assessment.

• Commissioners should evaluate current agency efforts, as well as state and local web-based education and career awareness systems in an effort to better link

students, parents, and educators to the broad array of high-demand jobs in this state and the educational requirements to secure those opportunities.

• Commissioners should identify gaps in services to Texas veterans, advance strategies to enhance their education and employment opportunities, and develop

solutions to ensure a seamless and accelerated transition back into the Texas workforce.

• Commissioners should make recommendations that build the skills of the Texas workforce and advance regional economic expansion, job creation, and the goals of

60x30TX.

The commissioners conducted a series of statewide Regional Education and Workforce meetings throughout the spring of 2016. Meetings included presentations by

educators, school districts, institutions of higher education, employers, agencies, chambers of commerce, veterans and the general public. The commissioners will meet

in a final Workforce Summit on September 19 before reporting findings and recommendations.

OVERVIEW OF ADJUSTMENTS TO THE 2018 – 2019 BASELINE

On June 30, 2016, the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Speaker of the House issued a policy letter requesting that state agencies and institutions of higher education

reduce their adjusted base appropriations by four percent. On August 1, 2016, THECB received its baseline funding amount of $1,542,960,980 (excluding Baylor

Page 3 of 9


8/19/2016 2:30:48PM




College of Medicine funding) for the 2018 – 2019 biennium from the Legislative Budget Board (LBB). To conform with the policy letter request that the agency budget

be reduced to 96 percent, or $1,481,242,541, the agency achieved a targeted reduction amount of $61,718,439 by focusing on the B-On-Time, Top 10 Percent

Scholarship, and Centralized Accounting, Payroll and Personnel System (CAPPS) appropriations:

B-On-Time Program The LBB baseline budget included the agency’s full general revenue-dedicated funding amount for B-On-Time-Public program of $128,756,365.

In addition, House Bill 700 (84th) phased out the program, eliminated new awards and repealed the collection of tuition set-asides (GR-D) for the purpose of supporting

the program. THECB anticipates the need for $94,456,884 in GR-D funds for the 2018 – 2019 biennium to cover awards for eligible renewal students. Likewise, the

agency identified $11,518,958 in GR funding for the BOT-Private program that would not be necessary to provide renewal awards for eligible students.

Top 10 Percent Scholarships The baseline budget appropriated $18,223,048 for the Top 10 Percent Scholarship program for the next biennium. Because the 84th

Legislature eliminated new awards under the program, the agency estimates that $3,223,048 would be sufficient to meet 100 percent of renewal awards for the next

biennium at the maximum of $2,000 award amount.

CAAPS The baseline budget retained the full GR appropriated amount of $1,390,000 to implement CAPPS provided in the 2016 – 2017 general appropriations act.

THECB is recommending a $900,000 reduction to Information Resources, while utilizing the remaining balance of $490,000 to implement needed security upgrades. If

permitted, the use of these funds would eliminate the agency’s Exceptional Item Request (EIR) of $440,000 for security upgrades.

Texas Research Incentive Program The LBB’s baseline removed $9 million in GR-D funding, which came from the Emerging Technology Fund to support the Texas

Research Incentive Program.

All told, these budgetary changes under the adjusted baseline would provide the $61,718,439 required to meet the 4 percent reductions specified in the policy letter.

EXCEPTIONS TO BASELINE REQUEST

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board was informed by the Legislative Budget Board that none of its programs would qualify under the exceptions to the

baseline request listed in the June 30, 2016 policy letter.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN POLICY

State formula funding for institutions of higher education increased by $459 million in All Funds for the 2016-17 biennium compared to 2014-2015. This includes a $329

million (or 7.6%) increase to formula funding for general academic institutions, a $155.2 million (or 8.4%) increase for health related institutions, a $24.2 million (or

1.4%) decrease to community colleges, a $4.2 million decrease to Lamar state colleges, and a $4.2 million (or 3.9%) increase to technical colleges.

Board Recommendation for Community and Technical Colleges Formulas for the 2018-19 Biennium

The 84th Legislature continued the three-part model for community college formula funding for the current biennium. While Core Operations funding stayed level and

per-contact hour enrollment funding saw a slight increase, a concern is that student success point funding actually decreased from $185.12 in 2013 to $172.58 in 2015.

According to the Texas Association of Community Colleges, the reduced level was not adequate to “reward student improvement.”

The Coordinating Board’s recommended increase for Student Success Points to $215 for the 2018 – 2019 biennium was calculated by first establishing the core and

Page 4 of 9


8/19/2016 2:30:48PM




contact hour funding levels, then combining the 2016-17 base year funding, adding funds for projected growth, and adding 2.3% for inflation, which was based on the

Consumer Price Index.

Board Formula Recommendation for General Academic Institutions for the 2018-19 Biennium

In determining its formula recommendations for general academic institutions (GAIs), the Coordinating Board considered three priorities: inflation, growth and success.

For the 2018-19 biennium, the Board recommended a funding increase of 9%, $5.1 billion that included:

• An increase of 6.2%, $4.2 billion total, for Instructions & Operations.

• An increase of 3.9%, $743 million total, for Education & General Space.

• A decrease of 3.7%, $18 million total, for Small Institution Supplement.

Board Formula Recommendation for Health-Related Institutions for the 18-19 Biennium

The Coordinating Board voted to recommend an increase in funding levels for health-related institutions (HRIs) of 8.5%, or $2.1 billion total. The Board’s HRI formula

recommendations accounted for projected growth, two new medical schools, and inflation, while emphasizing the need for graduate medical education:

• A 7.0% increase, $1.3 billion total, for Instruction & Operations

• A 10.1% increase, $292 million total, for Infrastructure

• A 10.3% increase, $82 million total, for Research

• A 7.0% increase, $346 million total, for Mission Specific

• A 31.9% increase, $93 million total, for Graduate Medical Education

GRADUATION BONUS

The Texas Education Code (Section 61.0593 (a)) states that the, “legislature finds that it is in the state's highest public interest to evaluate student achievement at

institutions of higher education and to develop higher education funding policy based on that evaluation….Therefore, the purpose of this section is to ensure that

institutions of higher education produce student outcomes that are directly aligned with the state's education goals and economic development needs. “

To achieve this, the Coordinating Board recommends the 85th Legislature adopt a Graduation Bonus for four-year public institutions, placing a strong focus on

producing more graduates and on graduating at risk students. The recommendation includes:

• Funding the Graduation Bonus at $150 million for the biennium. Institutions would receive $500 per not at-risk graduate and $1,000 per at-risk graduate.

• An “at risk” student would be defined as any student who is eligible to receive a Pell Grant or whose SAT or ACT score was below average.

• The Board recommends outcomes-based funding be institutionalized and that the Legislature determine whether it be inside or outside the formula.

• The Bonus would incentivize universities’ internal success in tutoring, mentoring and developmental education and would carry the additional formula funding

benefits of increasing retention and transfer completion.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN PROVISION OF SERVICE

Coordinating Expansion of Higher Education

Page 5 of 9


8/19/2016 2:30:48PM




Texas Education Code, Section 61.051, states that the, “Coordinating Board represents the highest authority in the state in matters of public higher education and is

charged with the duty to take an active part in promoting quality education throughout the state by...providing a statewide perspective to ensure the efficient and effective

use of higher education resources and to eliminate unnecessary duplication.”

In addition to tuition revenue bonds, the 84th Legislature appropriated nearly $59 billion in general revenue and general revenue-dedicated funds to support Texas’s

institutions of higher education through fiscal year 2017. Decision makers require better tools to determine whether Texans are best served and taxpayer funds are used

efficiently and effectively.

Accordingly, the Coordinating Board recommends the 85th Legislature provide a statutory change that would require that institutions obtain Coordinating Board review

and approval prior to acquiring property to create a new or expand an existing off-campus academic, technical or research site.

TEXAS Grant Program

The Texas Legislature established the Toward EXcellence and Success (TEXAS) Grant program in 1999 to provide grants to financially needy students who graduate

from high school with the college preparatory program. Texas public school enrollment trends show a ten year increase in the percentage of economically disadvantaged

students in the P-12 system and the majority (60%) of students in the P-12 pipeline are poor.

Since its inception, more than 400,000 students have received an award. With limited funding, the state prioritizes awards to students who are more likely to graduate and

by doing so, improving the return on its investment.

Students in Texas averaged 139 semester credit hours to complete a four-year degree, while most programs of study require only 120 hours. Excessive semester credit

hours for degree completion in Texas contribute to student debt and less than timely completions. If Texas is to achieve the goals of 60x30TX, higher education must

continue to improve access and student outcomes.

The Coordinating Board recommends the following to the 85th Legislature with regard to the TEXAS Grant program:

• Limit TEXAS Grant eligibility to 135 semester credit hours or 15 hours above degree requirements.

• Require the completion of 30 semester credit hours per academic year.

• Allow summer grant awards.

• Limit TEXAS Grant awards to tuition, fees and a book stipend minus the federal Pell Grant.

• Remove Work-Study as a potential matching fund to cover any difference in the amount of a TEXAS Grant and the actual amount of tuition and required fees.

• Align the due date of the legislatively mandated report on TEXAS Grant with the annual financial aid report required in rider.

• Re-write existing eligibility requirements and clean up statutory language to provide greater clarity.

TEXAS EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT (TEOG) PROGRAM

The Texas Legislature created the Texas Educational Opportunity Grant (TEOG) in 2001 to provide grant aid for students with financial need enrolled in Texas public

two-year colleges (public community colleges, technical colleges and state colleges). Enrollment in Texas’ public two-year colleges has been steadily increasing.

Today, public two-year colleges represent 53% of the state’s public higher education enrollment. The growing demand for TEOG funds requires the implementation of

Page 6 of 9


8/19/2016 2:30:48PM




policies that ensure the most critical academic expenses are met, and that limit state aid to be utilized for non-educational expenses. The Coordinating Board recommends

improving the effectiveness of TEOG and broadening access by implementing the following recommendations:

• Limit TEOG awards to tuition, fees and a book stipend minus the federal Pell Grant.

• Remove Work-Study as a potential matching fund to cover any difference in the amount of a TEOG and the actual amount of tuition and required fees.

• Add hardship provisions relating to the number of hours and time frame for which a TEOG recipient is eligible.

• Expand TEOG eligibility for students enrolled in community college baccalaureate degree programs.

SIGNIFICANT EXTERNALITIES

The 60x30TX goal focuses on 25- to 34-year-olds as an indicator of the economic future of the state and its ability to remain globally competitive.

Between 1994 and 2015, enrollment at Health-Related Institutions increased by 9059, or 57%. At the same time, public 4-year institution enrollment grew by 212,818,

or 52%: undergraduate enrollment grew by 174,082, or 55%, while graduate enrollment increased by 38,736, or 42% during the period.

Within the global context, the state has seen a relative decline in educational attainment among this younger population. In 2013, Texans of ages 25-34 fell between the

23rd and 24th highest-ranking Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) nations in educational attainment with only 35% of this age group

holding an associate or bachelor’s degree. One generation ago, the same age group fell between the 3rd and 4th highest-ranking OECD countries.

PURPOSE OF NEW FUNDING BEING REQUESTED

The THECB requests six exceptional items for additional funding above the current baseline. Exceptional items funding requested, in rank order, are:

• SECURITY UPGRADES TO AGENCY’S IT INFRASTRUCTURE ($440,000). Security upgrades to Agency's IT Infrastructure are required to address

information security deficiencies initially identified by the Gartner assessment that concluded in FY14. The Exceptional Item Request (EIR) for Information Resources

includes two parts: Protect Confidentiality of Data ($215,000) and Information Resources: Information Security & Professional Services ($225,000).

• TOWARD EXCELLENCE, ACCESS, AND SUCCESS (TEXAS) GRANT PROGRAM ($78.3 million). Increase TEXAS Grant funding for 4-year Public

Universities and Health-Related Institutions by $78.3 M to $791M, which would maintain the level of 85% of TEXAS Grant initially eligible students utilizing a Target

award of $5,000.

• ADVISE TX ($4 million). Advise TX is a partner program of the College Advising Corps (CAC), an innovative near-peer college access advising program that

aims to increase the number of low-income, first-generation college and underrepresented students who enter and complete higher education. This exceptional item

request seeks to provide sufficient funding for an additional 80-100 advisers (totaling up to 210), which would permit such advising services at additional high schools

across Texas.

• IMPROVING TRANSFER WITH FIELDS OF STUDY ($494,000). Fields of Study (FOS) facilitate the applicability of courses transferred from community

colleges to universities by establishing a set of lower division courses within a discipline that must be applied to a bachelor's degree in that discipline. Existing FOS need

to be revised, the voluntary transfer compacts need to be transformed into FOS, and new ones need to be created. The funding would allow THECB to conduct 28-32

meetings per year for approximately 6-8 academic fields thereby expediting completion of this important process.

Page 7 of 9


8/19/2016 2:30:48PM




• INCREASE OVERSIGHT OF FOR-PROFIT INSTITUTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN ELECTRONIC STUDENT RECORDS REPOSITORY

($750,000). Create a centralized academics records repository of closed postsecondary educational institutions formerly authorized by THECB to operate under a

certificate of authorization or certificate of authority, to provide centralized access to student records. This exceptional item request seeks to provide sufficient funding

for technology software, staff, and secure storage of academic records.

• GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION EXPANSION ($29.8 million). The exceptional item request will provide support to maintain the 710 residency positions

established. The development of the new programs was accomplished using existing staff and this request does not include administrative funds.

• INTERNAL AUDIT AND COMPLIANCE MONITORING ($170,000). This request would support one additional internal audit position for a total of four

positions, including the Director. A 2014 comprehensive internal audit benchmarking study resulted in internal audit receiving one additional audit position out of

existing agency resources. The agency manages a student loan portfolio of over $1 billion, and financial assistance programs to institutions of higher education of over

$1.5 billion.

The June 30, 2016 policy letter stated that agencies requesting exceptional items “should be prepared to suggest lower-priority programs or other cost savings to help

offset the increased costs associated with their requests.” Accordingly, the agency has identified efficiencies and program funding reductions and eliminations totaling

$56,892,000, or 50% of the total cost of the exceptional item requests. These recommendations would impact: the Mental Health Loan Repayment Program, Texas

Armed Services Scholarship Program, the Physician Education Loan Repayment Program, Autism Program, the Family Practice Residency Program, the Joint Admission

Medical Program, State Loan Programs, and the Professional Nursing Shortage Reduction program.

Additionally, the agency recommends modification of Article IX, Section 14.03: Limitation on Expenditure – Capital Budget. In FY14, the agency requested approval

from the LBB to use unexpended funds on upgrades to videoconferencing equipment. However, because the agency had submitted an exceptional item request for this

purpose that was not funded, the LBB denied this request based on Section 14.03(h)(2)(C) which states that “appropriations may not be transferred to an additional

capital budget item that is not in the agency’s bill pattern if that additional capital budget item was presented to a committee, subcommittee or workgroup of the

Legislature and was not adopted.” Due to the uniqueness of the agency (i.e., one of a few states that administers its own loan program and has one of the largest

databases on higher education data in the country), the agency recommends adding the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to the public institutions of higher

education that are currently exempt from this provision under Section 14.03(c)(2).

APPROACH IN PREPARING 10 PERCENT GENERAL REVENUE BASE REDUCTION EXERCISE.

The exercise was approached in a deliberative fashion, examining all budget strategies and their impact on students and the state’s ability to close the gaps. Agency

divisions were instructed that across-the-board cuts would not be acceptable, requiring a judicious evaluation of what reductions would be less harmful than others.

Particular attention was given to preserving programs that most directly contribute to 60x30TX and to those financial aid programs that serve the neediest students. For

those strategies where reductions are identified, every effort has been made to minimize impacts on students.

AGENCY COSTS/SAVINGS RELATED TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FEDERAL HEALTH CARE REFORM.

The agency does not estimate any direct or indirect budgetary impacts due to federal health care legislation.

CHANGES/ADDITIONS TO EXEMPT POSITIONS.

No change/additions anticipated or requested.

BACKGROUND CHECKS AUTHORITY AND AGENCY PRACTICES/PROCEDURES.

The agency conducts criminal history background checks in accordance with Texas Government Code (TGC), Sec. 411.1405 and 411.094. The agency obtains from the

Department of Public Safety (DPS) criminal history record information maintained by DPS and the FBI that relates to a person who is an employee, top candidate for

employment, contractor, subcontractor, intern, or other volunteer with the Board, and has access to information resources or information resources technologies as

defined in TGC Sec. 2054.003; or is in a security-sensitive area as defined in TGC Sec. 411.094(2).

TRANSITION TO THE CENTRALIZED ACCOUNTING AND PAYROLL/PERSONNEL SYSTEM (CAPPS).

The THECB was selected to participate in the implementation of the Centralized Accounting and Payroll/Personnel System (CAPPS). The CAPPS system is due to

replace USAS (current statewide accounting system) and USPS (statewide payroll system). This system will replace USAS and USPS functionality but will have limited

customization to allow additional functionality beyond the basic modules. The agency was appropriated 4 FTE’s in the 84th legislative session to implement CAPPS

HR/Payroll in FY16 and CAPPS FIN (Financial) in FY 17. The HR/Payroll core modules are scheduled to go live on August 8, 2016. Non-core modules, Recruiting and

Talent Management, and Learning Management are scheduled to go live in January 2017. Another non-core module, Performance management does not currently have

an implementation date.

This strategy includes administrative funding to support 16 FTE to carry out activities relating to: 1) professional development activities for higher education faculty,

in-service and pre-service public school teachers, counselors, administrators, and college advisors who are focused on student preparation for and alignment of college and

career pathways; 2) the replication of initiatives proven to effectively improve postsecondary student enrollment, persistence and completion; 3) the facilitation of on-going

local, regional, and state activities to support a college-going culture and alignment of secondary and postsecondary education, including rigorous college preparatory

courses and endorsements aligned to postsecondary academic fields and career and technical education (CTE) programs; and 4) the identification of issues and activities in

need of data support and analysis. Achieving the goals of the state's higher education plan, 60x30TX, will require much higher levels of cooperation among higher

education, K-12 education, and workforce leadership. Texas institutions of higher education will need to work together more closely on such issues as teacher training,

professional development, and college readiness. Staff supported by this strategy are critical to coordinating these and other statewide strategies that will help the state

reach the targets in 60x30TX and produce greater outcomes for students and for the state.

Factors impacting this strategy include: (1) The lack of sufficient funds to provide strategic technical assistance to higher education faculty and advisors, and public

education faculty, counselors, and leaders; (2) the lack of funding to support college readiness, participation, and completion activities at institutions of higher education

and with their partnering school districts, and community and business stakeholders; (3) insufficient professional development for higher education faculty, advisors,

enrollment managers, and public education teachers, counselors, and school leaders, both pre- and in-service, to effectively implement the CTE and academic pathways

enabled by HB 5 (83rd Legislative Session); and (4) rural, large urban, and underrepresented populations (especially minority males) not enrolling in higher education or

completing a higher education credential in sufficient numbers to meet the state’s workforce needs.

This strategy provides funding to support 59 FTE to monitor and disburse funds under the (1) Hinson-Hazlewood Student Loan Program (HHSLP), which is

self-supporting through bond proceeds and loan repayments, consists of seven different portfolios totaling $1.4 billion, provides loans at 4.5% interest, one of the lowest

interest rates in the country, authorized by TEC, Chapter 52, and is governed by two sets of rules in addition to state and federal laws; (2) the B-On-Time Loan Program,

which provides 0% interest renewal loans only which are forgiven if the student graduates on time with a B average (in 2015, the Texas Legislature phased-out the program

to serve renewal students only through 2020); and (3) the Texas Armed Services Scholarship Program (TASSP) which is aimed at encouraging students to become

members or commissioned officers of the U.S. armed services. Quality service is achieved through timely loan processing, customer service standards, and enforcement of

collections, which contribute to the fiscal soundness of the interest and sinking fund that is used for the repayment of the bonds under the HHSLP. Account servicing staff

work closely with borrowers to prevent them from defaulting on their loans. When defaults occur, the agency engages the assistance of the OAG in filing suit and securing

judgments. This strategy is critical to achieving the student debt goal under the state's higher education plan, 60x30TX, by offering low-interest higher education loans to

students in Texas thereby making college more affordable and accessible.


Factors impacting this strategy include: numerous technical amendments resulting from the federal reauthorization of the U.S. Higher Education Act of 1965 every five

years; federal consumer protection laws and regulations governing all consumer loans; federal reconciliation legislation; and federal rules and regulations promulgated by

the United States Departments of Education. Additionally, state legislative limits placed on bond authorization, changes in the student loan lending environment, rising

higher education costs, and the increasing number of students attending Texas institutions who need financial assistance have an impact on this strategy. For example, 60%

of students in the K-12 education pipeline are poor. Continued enrollment growth of these students in higher education cannot be sustained without greater support from the

state. If the state does not offer low-interest loans to Texas students, this will contribute to the significant increase in student loan indebtedness and negatively impact the

student debt goal of the state's higher education plan, 60x30TX.

This strategy supports11 FTE to administer state initiatives to increase access and affordability in Texas higher education. Activities include: (1) administering $485

million to over 147,000 students annually in non-loan financial aid programs, including TEXAS Grants, Texas Educational Opportunity Grants, Tuition Equalization

Grants, Texas College Work Study, Top 10% Scholarships (renewal students only) and tuition exemptions programs to help financially needy students; (2) administering

workforce-related loan repayment and forgiveness programs entailing a service obligation by physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nursing faculty,

teachers, doctoral faculty, speech-language pathologists/audiologists; (3) overseeing institutional reporting of data of students receiving state aid which are maintained in

the state Financial Aid Data System (FADS), allowing for the preparation of the annual Financial Aid Report and for analysis of trends and the impact of financial aid

programs in Texas; and (4) collaborating with leadership in higher education student financial assistance and other stakeholders. This strategy is critical to achieving the

attainment, completion and student debt goals under the state's higher education plan, 60x30TX, by making higher education affordable and accessible to low- and

middle-income students in Texas.


State funding for institutions and non-loan financial aid has not kept up with the pace of enrollment increases. Sixty percent of the students in the K-12 education pipeline

are poor, and continued enrollment growth of these students in higher education cannot be sustained without greater support from the state. Without making Texas higher

education more affordable to a broader number of students, the state will not achieve its attainment, completion and student debt goals under the higher education plan,

60x30TX, thereby reducing Texas' economical competitiveness in the U.S. and internationally.

"The state's higher education plan, 60x30TX, calls for substantial increases in student completion in Texas higher education. Additional institutions and programs may be

necessary to accommodate the anticipated increases in enrollment, in terms of academic transfer and workforce education courses and programs. However, Texas is in

danger of expanding higher education programs and facilities beyond the state’s ability—or willingness—to fund them adequately. This unchecked expansion of programs

and campuses creates real costs for taxpayers. Unless the Legislature authorizes significant increases in formula funding, these new schools and programs simply will

divide a limited state funding pie into smaller slices. Ultimately, that is a recipe for statewide mediocrity in public higher education as it leads to costly, unnecessary

duplication of programs. This expansion must occur in a measured way that does not result in unnecessary duplication of existing resources. There is no other entity besides

the THECB that can efficiently and effectively coordinate and plan for higher education from a statewide perspective, and deploy limited state resources in an equitable and

The THECB’s primary goal is to provide effective stewardship of taxpayer dollars. The agency’s biennial budget is $1.8 billion in All Funds (general revenue, general

revenue-dedicated, federal, and other). Approximately 98 percent of those funds are trusteed to the agency. The remaining 2 percent of funds are administered by the

agency to support its operations. The agency has an Internal Audit department to ensure that employees are complying with state and federal laws and regulations, as well

as agency policies. Additionally, in 2013, the Texas Legislature established a compliance monitoring function at the THECB (Senate Bill 215, 83rd Legislature) to: 1)

ensure funds allocated by the agency to institutions of higher education and other entities are distributed in accordance with applicable laws and rules, and 2) ensure the

data are reported accurately to the agency by institutions for funding or policymaking decisions, including data used for formula funding allocations. One of the challenges

in addressing this goal is the ability for the agency to effectively carry out its responsibilities with consistently fewer resources. For decades, the agency has operated in an

efficient and effective way and has been able to do more with less. However, since the 2011 state budget cuts, the agency’s resources have declined significantly while there

has been an increase in state and federal regulations and other unfunded mandates.

"Increasing dependence on information technologies for collaboration and data exchange, together with increasing use of newer technologies such as social media and

mobile devices, heighten the need for an investment in improved security to ensure the protection, confidentiality and integrity of data. Expanded sharing of student data

with external partners and federal regulations requires the Coordinating Board to constantly evaluate security requirements to ensure compliance with the Family

Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Texas Administrative Code 202. Non-competitive salaries continues to inhibit the agency’s ability to attract and retain

highly skilled IT professionals. The agency operated with a zero capital budget for two biennia (2012-2015). Fortunately, during the 84th Legislative Session, the agency

was appropriated partially funding as requested through an exceptional item request to upgrade the a agency's IT infrastructure and to implement security upgrades at DCS.

For the 2018-19 biennium, the agency has submitted exceptional item requests to implement security upgrades at the agency (as recommended by Gartner) to protect the

vast amount of data collected by the agency from institutions of higher education, students, and loan borrowers, and to comply with state and federal regulations.

The Toward Excellence, Access, & Success (TEXAS) Grant program was established in 1999 by the 79th Legislature and is authorized under TEC §§ 56.301-56.311,

Subchapter M. The TEXAS Grant Program’s primary purpose is to provide coverage of tuition & fees for financially needy high school graduates who are Texas

residents, complete an approved high school program, and enroll on at least a three-quarter basis in a baccalaureate program. Continuing eligibility requires completion of

at least 24 semester credit hours per year and at least a 2.5 college GPA. The program leverages support from federal, private, and state grant programs to ensure that each

TEXAS Grant recipient receives non-loan funding to cover his or her tuition & fees. The maximum grant is the average statewide amount of tuition & fees at public

universities, though a lower Target Award ($5,000) is recommended to spread limited dollars across as many recipients as possible. The TEXAS Grant Program is the

state’s primary assistance program supporting affordability, enrollment and completion and is critical to achieving the state's goals under the 60x30TX plan. The

Coordinating Board was appropriated $714,980,114 for the 2016-2017 biennium to provide renewal awards to continuing students and enroll new recipients in the

program. The program supported almost 67,000 students in FY15, and the current appropriation is expected to provide grants to roughly 85% of eligible students during

the 2016-2017 biennium. Administrative funding for the program is provided through Strategy A.1.3 - Financial Aid Services.

years, thousands more students, many with limited family resources, must enroll in our colleges and universities. Student financial aid will be critical to their success. This

is one of five programs that constitute the state’s largest effort to provide financial aid. The TEXAS Grant Program includes requirements that students come to college

having taken a college preparatory curriculum and they impose continuing academic requirements for students to maintain the aid. Budget reductions would impact the

ability to award financial aid to needy students and the ability to ensure higher education attainment levels to support the state's economic success.

The B-On-Time (BOT) Loan Program was repealed in 2015 by the 84th Legislature and is authorized under TEC §§ 56.092 to operate a program phase out through

summer 2020. The program provides zero-interest loans, which are forgiven if a recipient graduates with a 3.0 or higher grade point average within four or five years

(depending on the curriculum) or within six hours of the maximum number of hours required by the recipient’s major. Loans may be issued to renewal students through

FY2020. Institutional officers determine the students' eligibility and provide online application instructions for the students. Staff at the Coordinating Board provide all

loan origination, repayment, and loan forgiveness services. The Coordinating Board was appropriated $128,756,365 for the 2016-2017 biennium to provide renewal

awards to continuing students. Administrative funding for the program is provided through Strategy A.1.2 – State Loan Programs. Administrative support will be required

through at least 2030 as BOT loans are repaid.

The majority of Texas students attending four-year Texas institutions depend on some form of financial aid to pay for their education costs. The families of a large

percentage of students who do not qualify for need-based financial aid do not have the liquid resources to cover those costs. These students depend on loans to make up the

difference between available cash and the cost of attendance. The B-On-Time Loan Program provides the most affordable loan opportunity possible - zero interest and

provisions for forgiveness of the loan. The B-On-Time Program includes requirements that students (1) enter college having graduated from high school under a college

preparatory curriculum and (2) meet continuing academic requirements to continue to receive the loans. Students must graduate on time, as defined, with a 3.0 or higher

GPA to qualify for loan forgiveness. Those who do not qualify for loan forgiveness must begin monthly payments toward repayment of the loan principal six months after

leaving college, but there are no interest costs. Due to federal regulations pertaining to non-federal student loans, students must ask their institutional financial aid officers

to include BOT loans in their financial aid packages.

The Tuition Equalization Grant (TEG) program was established in 1999 by the 79th Legislature and is authorized under TEC §§ 61.221-61.230, Subchapter F. The

Tuition Equalization Grant’s primary purpose is to provide aid in the form of grants to needy students attending independent nonprofit institutions who are Texas residents

and enroll at least ¾-time. To remain eligible, a student must complete at least 75 percent of his/her coursework, complete at least 24 semester credit hours per year (18 if

the recipient is a graduate student) and maintain at least a 2.5 college GPA. The program was designed to create savings for the State by enabling the students to attend

independent institutions. The maximum grant equals one half the per-student appropriation for public universities in the previous biennium, though exceptionally needy

students may receive up to 150% of the basic maximum award. The TEG Program is one of the state’s three signature grant programs supporting affordability, enrollment

and completion and is critical to achieving the state's goals under the 60x30TX plan. The Coordinating Board was appropriated $192,303,954 for the 2016-2017 biennium

Texas Work-Study Program’s primary purpose is to provide eligible, financially needy students with jobs, funded in part by the State of Texas, to enable those students to

attend eligible institutions of higher education, public or private, in the state of Texas. Unlike gift aid and loan programs, students earn their work-study through part-time

employment and are able to use their paychecks to help cover educationally related expenses. Funding for the program is leveraged through a matching requirement,

whereby non-profit employers must provide funding for 25 percent of a student’s wages, while for-profit employers must fund 50 percent of a student’s wages. The TX

WS Program is one of the state’s primary assistance programs supporting affordability, enrollment and completion at public and private institutions of higher education and

The program covers assistance programs funded through the sale of specialty license plates & authorized by the TX Transportation Code (cited). The Collegiate Program

(§504.615) provides scholarships for financially needy college students. State institutions draw funds generated through the sale of plates. Independent institutions are

allotted a share of the appropriations trusteed to the CB in proportion to the amount each school deposited to the credit of the CB from the sale of specialized plates. This

strategy provides scholarships for students attending participating independent colleges and universities. Eight programs are included in this strategy: Houston Livestock

Show and Rodeo License Plate (§504.613) funds scholarships; Girl Scout License Plate (§504.622) benefits education projects sponsored by Girl Scout Councils of TX;

TX Cotton Boll License Plate (§504.636) funds scholarships for students pursuing a degree in an agriculture field related to the cotton industry; Boy Scout License Plate

(§504.6545) funds educational programs sponsored by Boy Scout Councils in TX; College for all Texans License Plate (§504.657) provides matching funds for

scholarships for TX students; Mothers Against Drunk Driving License Plate (§504.608) funds grants to benefit drug-abuse prevention and education programs sponsored

by Mothers Against Drunk Driving; Texas Section American Water Works Association (§504.801) funds scholarships for students attending state public institutions of

higher ed.; and OMEGA PSI PHI Fraternity License Plate (504.801) funds scholarships for TX students.

Without making Texas higher education more affordable to a broader number of students, the state will not achieve its attainment, completion and student debt goals under

the higher education plan, 60x30TX, thereby reducing Texas' economic competitiveness in the U.S. and internationally. In order to ensure Texas is able to achieve

economic success in the coming years, thousands more students, many with limited family resources, must enroll in our colleges and universities. Student financial aid will

be critical to their success. Funding in these programs is provided through the sale of authorized license plates, and assists in generating the resources necessary to meet the

college attainment goals necessary to ensure the state's economic success.

Educational Aide Program

The Educational Aide exemption program was established in 1997 by the 75th Legislature and is authorized under TEC §§ 54.363. The Educational Aide exemption

program’s primary purpose is to encourage individuals who have served as educational aides in the classroom to complete a degree program leading to teacher certification.

The program reimburses institutions for tuition and fee exemptions provided to state residents working at a school as an educational aid for at least one school year during

the past five years, who have demonstrated financial need, and who have enrolled in coursework required for teacher certification in subject areas determined by TEA to be

experiencing critical shortages of public school teachers in the state. Institutions provide institutional matching funds of at least 10%. Appropriations for the program were

not provided for several biennia, and, in the 2016-2017 biennium, the Coordinating Board was appropriated $1,500,000 to support new participants in each year of the

biennium. Administrative funding for the program is provided through Strategy A.1.3 – Financial Aid Services.

Student loan indebtedness has increased dramatically during the past decade. The prospect of a large amount of student loan debt makes it difficult for students to make the

decision to pursue teacher certification in high shortage fields. Exemptions help mitigate the debt necessary to pursue these certifications. Lower debt at graduation may

also allow a dedicated teacher to accept position in a lower-paying school district that has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and a high teacher

turnover rate.

Texas Armed Services Scholarship Program

The Texas Armed Services Scholarship Program (TASSP) was established in 2009 by the 81st Legislature and is authorized under TEC §§ 61.9771- 61.9776, Subchapter

FF. The Texas Armed Services Scholarship Program’s primary purpose is to encourage students to contract to serve as a commissioned officer in any branch of the U.S.

armed services or to serve for four-years as a member of the Texas Army National Guard, Texas Air National Guard, Texas State Guard, United States Coast Guard, or

United States Merchant Marine. Each year the governor and the lieutenant governor may each appoint two students, and each state senator and each state representative

may appoint one student to receive an initial TASSP award. Recipients must sign a promissory note acknowledging the conditional nature of the scholarship and promising

to repay the scholarship if they fail to meet the conditions of the scholarship, including four years of participation in ROTC, maintaining satisfactory academic progress,

and fulfilling the military service requirement after graduation. The Coordinating Board was appropriated $5,340,000 for the 2016-2017 biennium to support students

already in the program and enroll new participants in each year of the biennium. Administrative funding for the program is provided through Strategy A.1.2 – State Loan

Programs.

Factors impacting this strategy include: (1) a lack of commissioned officer positions available for participants in the program and (2) to date, elected officials have not

nominated the maximum number of students allowed annually, 185.

Since the beginning of the program, advisers have facilitated over 340,000 one-on-one meetings and assisted students with over 53,000 college application fee waivers,

saving students an estimated $2.6 million in application fees. The program already has seen college going rates increase by over 5 percent at certain underserved high

schools. Advise TX College Advising Corps (CAC) places recent university graduates on high school campuses as near-peer college advisers to provide underserved high

school students with information about how to select and enroll in the postsecondary option that is the best for their skills and interests—one where they will be most likely

to succeed and complete a degree or meaningful credential—whether at a university, community college, or technical college. Advisers receive intensive training before

serving in a high school and are informed about all of the graduation requirements prescribed in HB 5, 83rd Legislature. These advisers work in collaboration with high

school counselors, teachers, and administrators. In 2015-2016, advisers held 51,710 group meetings that included 36,709 seniors. Advisers helped distribute 25,288

ACT/SAT fee waivers and 20,480 college application fee waivers saving students approximately $1.2 million in application fees. Advisers took 7,939 students on campus

visits and hosted 29,364 admission rep visits. Advisers reflect the communities they serve: 66% are underrepresented, 62% were Pell Grant eligible, and 50% were first

generation. Advise TX is a priority program of the state's higher education plan, 60x30TX.


Factors impacting this strategy include: (1) lack of funds to expand services to other campuses; (2) the need for additional training for advisers; (3) changing leadership at

high school campuses; (4) competing interest with other pre-college advising programs in larger districts; (5) the ability to convey the importance of college readiness to

support access and completion; (6) decreases in financial aid; (7) rural, large urban, and underrepresented populations (especially minority males) not enrolling in higher

education or completing a higher education credential in sufficient numbers to meet the state’s workforce needs.

Since the 81st session, the Legislature has provided funds for the purpose of dramatically improving developmental education in Texas. With those funds, twenty-one (21)

institutions of higher education, representing seventeen (17) community colleges and four (4) universities have served over 45,000 students in their programs. Additionally,

over 10,000 faculty, staff and administrators were provided access to 440 state funded professional development opportunities that addressed the most promising practice to

increase the persistence, success and graduation of students that enter higher education unprepared to do college level work. Some of the innovative and effective practices

implemented statewide include, required pre-assessment activity for all non TSI exempt incoming students, a single statewide assessment with a diagnostic component and

the ability to identify students with skill sets below high level (adult basic skills), required holistic advising and placement and required course pairing of developmental

education courses/interventions with entry-level freshman courses. In fall 2014, 61,917 students did not meet the state standards, in one, two, or all three areas of the

statewide assessment. Developmental Education can impact the completion goal of 60x30TX by scaling more of the most promising practices statewide to increase the

success and graduation rate of underprepared students entering higher education in Texas.

Since the beginning of the program, 28 college systems have enrolled 6,224 students into Accelerate Texas programs leading to marketable skills achievement awards

(54%), level 1 certificates (25%), or local certificates (16%) offered among 70 careers. Among credentials offered, an estimated 82 percent supported a living wage for a

single adult in Texas ($10.20/hr.) with the median wage at $12.49/hr. The highest reported median wage for Accelerate Texas credentials was in mechanic repair

technology at $23.00/hr. During the five years of operation, the majority (71%) of participants served by Accelerate TX primarily identify as Hispanic/Latino or African

American, and 61 percent report being first generation college students. Females represented 57 percent of the population and males 40 percent. Based on the latest

workforce data, 76 percent of Accelerate Texas students were awarded workforce certificates, primarily in the health professions (45%), business (16%), and precision

production (11%). Overall, 70 percent of those students awarded a certificate were found in the workforce (45%), enrolled in higher education (10%), or were both in

higher education and the workforce (14%). Reaching the completion goal of 60x30TX will require directing more adults who do not attend college immediately after high

school toward certification and degree programs. THECB-funded Accelerate TX models will help the agency reach its goal.


Factors impacting this strategy include: (1) The lack of sufficient funds to provide strategic technical assistance to institutions; (2) the lack of funding for institutions to

support students assessed at basic academic skill levels; and (3) insufficient professional development support for faculty, advisors, and support staff to effectively advise

students into certificate programs.

The Border Faculty Loan Repayment Program was established in 2001 by the 77th Legislature and is authorized under TEC §§ 61.701- 61.708, Subchapter M. The Border

Faculty Loan Repayment Program’s primary purpose is to attract individuals who have earned their doctorates to faculty positions at Texas institutions of higher education

in counties that border Mexico and provide these individuals with student loan repayments. Each eligible institution submits to the THECB at least four applications from

selected members of the faculty who may receive loan repayments for up to $5,000 for each year of service, for up to 10 years. The program has been fully subscribed

every year since its inception. The Coordinating Board was appropriated $375,626 for the 2016-2017 biennium to support annual applications to the program.

Administrative funding for the program is provided through Strategy A.1.3 - Financial Aid Services.

Given the unlikelihood of faculty salary increases, the prospect of even a modest loan repayment award should continue to make this loan repayment program an attractive

incentive for faculty to remain at border county institutions.

Increasing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) awards is a key priority to increase Texas competitiveness. The Engineering Recruitment Program (ERP)

helps graduation goals of 60X30TX specific to engineering, through the early intervention Engineering Summer Program offered at Texas public and private general

academic institutions with engineering degree programs. The ESP supports one-week summer program experiences for middle and high school students to engage and

encourage them to consider engineering as a profession. ESP students participate in courses similar in content to engineering courses, with a focus on math and science

preparation. Participants reflect the demographics of the state. For FY15 and FY16 $500,00 was appropriated. Twenty two programs are participating in summer 2016 with

an expected 900 students involved.

The ESP did not receive an appropriation in FYs 2012 and 2013. The THECB requested and received funding of $500,000 to support the ESP in FYs 2014 and 2015 FYs

2016 and 2017. Many potential STEM students do not enroll in STEM programs in college because they are unprepared, especially in math for such programs, One benefit

of the program is that students learn while still in middle and high school what course they need in high school to be prepared to do college level work in STEM fields.

Teach for Texas Loan Repayment Assistance

The Teach for Texas Loan Repayment Program was established in 2001 by the 77th Legislature and is authorized under TEC §§ 56.351- 56.359, Subchapter O. The Teach

for Texas Loan Repayment Program’s primary purpose is to attract individuals to the teaching profession and provide student loan repayments for up to 5 years on behalf of

Texas public school teachers who provide full-time instruction in a subject having a critical shortage of teachers or at a campus having a critical shortage of teachers. The

number of qualified applicants has far exceeded available funding every year since the program began in FY2004. The Coordinating Board was appropriated $7,000,000

for the 2016-2017 biennium to support annual applications to the program, with $2,575,000 of the appropriation reserved for the newly created Mathematics and Science

Teacher Investment Fund for the Math and Science Scholars Loan Repayment Program. Administrative funding for the program is provided through Strategy A.1.3 -

Financial Aid Services.

Student loan indebtedness has increased dramatically during the past decade. High student loan levels make it difficult for a dedicated teacher to accept or remain in a

position in a lower-paying school district that has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and a high teacher turnover rate. Retaining current teachers in

critical shortage fields & campuses and encouraging others to teach in schools having critical teacher shortages is essential for Texas students to be prepared for higher

education. Participants in the program have indicated that the student loan repayment assistance provided financial relief that encouraged them to remain in their positions.

Since the 74th session, the Legislature has provided funds for the purpose of supporting centers for teacher education at private, independent, general academic institutions

that are component institutions of the Texas Association of Developing Colleges (TADC). Current Rider 39 (III-53, 2012-2013 GAA) requires consideration to be given to

teacher education centers at Huston-Tillotson University, Jarvis Christian College, Paul Quinn College, Texas College, and Wiley College. These funds shall be used (1)

for scholarships for students admitted into a teacher education program through to completion of the program and certification, at no less than 50 percent of the amount

allocated to the institution, and (2) to redesign curriculum to ensure each institution provides curriculum and instruction on how to teach to the rigor of the Texas College

and Career Readiness Standards. The THECB will require periodic submission of data and reports to assess the overall performance of the centers, and may obtain the

services of a program planner to facilitate and coordinate the process of curriculum development and program redesign to improve teacher preparation at the participating

institutions. In the last 3 years, these institutions have produced 115 initially-certified teachers.


Factors impacting this strategy include: (1) New educator preparation standards and teacher certification examinations may impact pass rates due to more rigorous

examinations and subsequent changes to the certification areas and levels tested. (2) Early and targeted support for students enrolled in educator preparation programs

would be beneficial. (3) Changes and reductions in federal financial aid may impede stunt student enrollment growth. (4) The distribution of grant funds to the institutions

is performance based (on the previous year teacher certification data).

The Teacher Quality Grants Program provides federal funds to states under Title II, Part A of the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, now

called the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) in Public Law 107-110. Title II, Part A establishes guidelines for making grants to institutions of higher education (IHEs) to

provide courses and sessions designed to deepen the content knowledge of teachers and improve instructional quality in core academic courses. The Coordinating Board

receives funds for this program from the U.S. Department of Education. The funds are allocated to IHEs through a competitive grant process under criteria in NCLB and

priorities established by the federally approved Consolidated State Plan developed by the Texas Education Agency. Teacher Quality projects provide content-intensive

summer courses in mathematics and science and academic year sessions in discipline-related instructional methods. The program serves approximately 800-1,000 teachers

each year and improves the quality of instruction for over 100,000 classroom students in high-need ISDs each year. Consistent with federal regulations, the program focuses

primarily on teachers who are teaching an academic subject or grade level for which they are not adequately prepared.

"The state of Texas adopted College Readiness Standards in 2008, and a revised standardized testing approach that includes the CCRS. The more rigorous tests have been

phased in over the past several years and was effective beginning with ninth graders in the 2011-2012 academic year. A few years ago, the state adopted a 4x4 high school

graduation plan that requires all students pass additional advanced courses in mathematics and science. Most recently, the state removed the 4x4 plan and adopted a new

Foundation High School graduation plan aimed at giving students, particularly those not headed to college, more flexibility to take courses of their choosing.

The new plan creates several new specialized pathways to graduation called endorsements. These changes along with fewer standardized assessments will require that

teachers have an even greater depth of content knowledge and a wider array of instructional approaches to help students master mathematics and science materials in order

to be college and career ready. In addition, with the increased emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curriculum for middle and high school

students, teachers will need additional training to provide high quality instruction in these integrated programs.

Texas Teacher Residency Program

Funds are used to maintain the Texas Teacher Residency Program designed to award teaching residents participating in the program a master's degree and lead to

certification for participating teaching residents who are not already certified teachers. Texas A&M University-Commerce, in collaboration with the University of Texas at

Tyler has formed partnerships with the Dallas Teacher Residency and with the Dallas, Chapel Hill, Mesquite and Tyler Independent School Districts to provide

employment to residents in the program. Specific components for the teacher residency program include rewarding teachers that participate in the program, providing a

livable stipend for the teaching residents and the requirement for a monetary or in-kind contribution by the higher education or school district partners. The program is

designed to address the state’s need to elevate the significance and professional nature of teaching at the primary and secondary levels.

Factors impacting this strategy include: (1) The original appropriation was well below the fiscal note; (2) The winning IHE – TAMU Commerce/UT Tyler provided

approximately a 27% match; (3) Additional IHEs were still interested in pursuing a residency program; and (4) The program is now in phase 2, with a planned competitive

selection of 30 resident-teachers, job placement in schools that are difficult to staff, and with continuing support of graduated residents in the form of professional learning

communities.

The Family Practice Residency Program (FPRP) improves the distribution of family physicians throughout the state and provides increased medical care to patients in

underserved areas. It was established in 1977 (65th Legislature, TEC §61.502) as part of an effort to increase the number of physicians selecting family practice as their

medical specialty and to encourage those physicians trained to establish their practices in rural and underserved communities in Texas. FPRP provides financial support to

community- and medical-school-based ambulatory care training programs that emphasize primary, preventive health care. Funds are allocated based on the certified number

of residents training in each approved family practice residency program (currently 26 programs statewide), which must receive significant local support in order to qualify

for state funds. Program directors are directly accountable for state funds and submit regular financial reports to the Family Practice Residency Advisory Committee. This

strategy also supports rural and public health rotations, which offer family practice residents the opportunity for supervised training in a rural community or public health

facility. Since its inception, FPRP has provided funding support for more than 9,400 family practice residents. Family physicians who complete residency training have a 70

percent retention rate in Texas.

Increased Texas medical school enrollments and passage of national health care reform have affected program demand. Continued support for the program is important to

help ensure that Texas will have a well-trained and adequate number of family physicians to care for its citizens. The program targets critical areas of medical practice

where shortages have been well documented. Physicians tend to stay where they did their residencies. Maintaining a ratio of 1.1 residency positions to 1 medical graduate

helps ensure the necessary number of family practice physicians Texas will need for an increasing population.

The Texas Statewide Preceptorship Programs in Family Practice, Internal Medicine, and Pediatrics support student preparation and education efforts at the medical school

level. The programs provide direct funding to Texas medical students to encourage them to choose primary care careers by offering an on-site experience in one of three

primary care specialties: family practice, general internal medicine, or general pediatrics. The preceptorship program in family practice was established in 1978, and in

1995 the program served as a model for the development of the programs in internal medicine and pediatrics. The guiding premise of the preceptorship experience is that

early exposure to preceptorship programs in a primary care medical specialty may positively influence future career decisions and practice patterns. Medical students

typically participate in the preceptorship programs during the summer between their first and second year of medical school. The students work in practicing physicians’

offices and experience the daily life and work of primary care physicians. Participating medical students are encouraged to select a primary care physician whose practice

is located away from their medical school. The medical students may select from a volunteer faculty database of practicing primary care physicians located statewide. The

program targets areas of medical practice that experience a shortage of practicing physicians in Texas.

The 84th Texas Legislature provided an appropriation of $3 million to fund awards for the 2016 – 2017 biennium. The program was last funded at $904,289 for fiscal years

2010-2011; no appropriation was provided in fiscal years 2012 through 2015. During the years when no state funding was available, the Texas Academy of Family

Physicians took over operation of the family practice preceptorship program and the Texas Chapter of the American College of Physicians continued operation of the

general internal medicine program. However, both programs served considerably fewer students during that time period. The pediatric program did not operate from 2012

through 2015. Although the program is in its first year of re-operation it has already served 350 students.

Continuing the support provided by the 84th Texas Legislature is essential to maintain the advances made to increase the number of first year entering medical residents

through the targeted GME Expansion Grant programs. Continuing the support for these efforts will allow Texas medical school graduates to remain in state to train and will

ensure that the state's investments made in FYs 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. The GME Expansion received funding of $53 million in FYs 2016 and 2017 and funded

approximately 400 residency positions.

The Coordinating Board regularly monitors the adequacy of opportunities for Texas medical school graduates to remain in Texas for their residency training. The medical

schools' enrollment increases and the opening of three new medical schools will impact the availability of residency positions for new graduates. The GME Expansion

program directly addresses the need to establish and maintain an adequate number of residency programs and positions. Physicians have a strong tendency to practice in the

areas where they did their residencies. The goal of establishing 1.1 residency positions for each medical school graduate in Texas (1.1/1) can only be maintained with

adequate funding. The program also targets the establishment of residency positions where a shortage of practicing physicians in Texas exists.

Primary Care Innovation Grant Program

Texas needs more primary care physicians, as the state's population continues to increase rapidly and primary care physicians are essential health care providers. However,

fewer medical students are interested in careers in primary care due to several factors, including high medical student debt load and low pay. Through the Primary Care

Innovation Program, the Texas medical schools may develop innovative methods to encourage students to consider and pursue primary care. Innovations may include

partnerships of medical schools to conduct coordinated outreach to ensure that residency programs know which students may be interested in primary care and streamlining

medical school curricula to allow students to rapidly move through their education and training. Funding of $2.1 million was provided in the FY2014-2015 2016-2017

biennium to support the development of the program and fund innovation efforts.

Innovative initiatives such as the development of a 3+3 program (medical school and residency program) to lessen time to practice have been created under this program. A

program to encourage promising community college students to enter the medical profession has also been developed. This reaches a group of students that might not

otherwise consider such a career and reaches students that are more likely to enter primary care.

Established in 2002 (TEC §§51.821 - 51.834, Subchapter V), the Joint Admission Medical Program (JAMP) helps close the gaps in participation and success. JAMP

provides support for highly qualified, economically disadvantaged students interested in becoming physicians. Students selected into JAMP receive undergraduate

scholarships, summer stipends, and are guaranteed admission to a Texas medical school, assuming their eligibility in the program is maintained. JAMP students are

identified in their freshman year, selected in their sophomore year, and continue in the program through medical school. They are provided with on-going educational

support in preparation for medical school, including summer experiences on medical school campuses and medical college admissions test preparation.

The program is administered by the JAMP Council, which is composed of one faculty representative from each Texas medical school. The enabling legislation designates

the

administrative functions of JAMP to the Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service, operated through The University of Texas System. The 83rd Texas

Legislature allocated $10.2 million to support JAMP in FYs 2014 and 2015 Ninety-six undergraduate students were accepted into the program in spring FY2014. There are

currently close to 600 students participating in the program.

The lack of data to show where JAMP students end up practicing in Texas could jeopardize the state's investment in the program since legislators may want to know

whether the program is fulfilling its purpose. However, the THECB is working closely with the Texas Medical Board to begin collecting these data.

Professional Nursing Shortage Reduction Program

The Professional Nursing Shortage Reduction Program (TEC §§ 61.9621 – 61.9629, enacted by the 82nd Legislature, 2011) consists of three separate programs. The

purpose of the ""Regular Program"" and the ""Under 70 Program"" is to increase the number of graduates from professional nursing programs, and increase the number of

graduates from master's and doctoral programs in nursing that join the faculty of professional nursing programs. The funds for the Regular Program are awarded to the

institutions by the Coordinating Board upon the determination of the amount of increase in graduates. Funding for the Under 70 Program is awarded to the institutions by

the Coordinating Board in advance, and any unearned funding will be returned by the institutions upon determination of increased enrollment. The “Over 70 Program”

seeks to increase enrollment in professional nursing programs by providing funding in advance for institutions to increase enrollments. The funds for the Over 70 Program

are awarded to the institutions by the Coordinating Board in advance and any unearned funding will be returned by the institutions upon determination of increased

enrollment. Funding in this strategy is used for enrollment of additional students; enhancement, recruitment, and retention of nursing faculty; encouragement of innovation

in the recruitment and retention of students; and identification, development, or implementation of innovative methods to make the most effective use of limited

professional nursing program faculty, instructional or clinical space, and other resources.

The demands for health care are increasing as the state’s population grows and as life expectancy increases. Texas needs more nurses to meet this growing demand. The

Professional Nursing Shortage Reduction program helps provide the funding higher education institutions need to increase the supply of nurses.

The Physician Education Loan Repayment Program was established in 1985 by the 69th Legislature and is authorized under TEC §§ 61.531- 61.540, Subchapter J. The

primary purpose of the program is to encourage qualified physicians to practice medicine for at least four years in designated health professional shortage areas (HPSAs) of

Texas. Up to ten physicians per year may enroll on the basis of service in Texas Department of Criminal Justice or Texas Juvenile Justice Department facilities. In 2009,

the 81st Texas Legislature passed legislation that (1) increased the maximum loan repayment amount to $160,000 over the four-year commitment period and (2) revised the

sales tax structure for smokeless tobacco. HB 2550, passed by the 83rd Legislature in 2013, created an eligibility path for physicians who provide specified service levels

for persons enrolled in Medicaid or Texas Women's Health Program if funds are available after all other applications have been funded. The Coordinating Board was

appropriated $33,800,000 for the 2016-2017 biennium to support physicians already in the program and enroll new participants in each year of the biennium. The funding

is intended to support four years of payments to physicians enrolled during the biennium. Administrative funding for the program is provided through Strategy A.1.3 -

Financial Aid Services.

"The shortage of primary care physicians statewide is projected to reach an alarming level during the next ten years, due to the number of retiring primary care physicians

and the high percentage of physicians pursuing more lucrative practice specialties. This situation will disproportionally affect Texans who are living in areas that already

have little or no access to primary health care services within a reasonable distance. As positions in Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) often pay less, physicians

carrying large student loan balances face financial challenges in accepting positions in HPSAs. In a recent survey of recipients, the prospect of having their student loans

repaid was a significant incentive for physicians to commit to four years of practice in shortage areas, rather than accepting higher-paying positions elsewhere."

Dental Education Loan Repayment Program

The Dental Education Loan Repayment Program was established in 1999 by the 76th Legislature and is authorized under TEC §§ 61.901-61.910, Subchapter V. The

primary purpose of the program is to encourage qualified dentists to provide services in areas of the state that are underserved with respect to dental care. The annual award

amount to be distributed to lenders shall be $10,000 unless the commissioner or his or her delegate determines that the amount of available funding is sufficient to increase

the award amount. Appropriations for the program were not provided for several biennia, and, in the 2016-2017 biennium, the Coordinating Board was appropriated

$220,000 to enroll new participants in each year of the biennium, thus supporting eleven dentists per year. Administrative funding for the program is provided through

Strategy A.1.3 - Financial Aid Services.

As positions in Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas (DHPSAs) often pay less, physicians carrying large student loan balances face financial challenges in accepting

positions in DHPSAs. This is compounded by the fact that underserved areas often lack the population to support a full-time practice. This impacts Texans who are living

in areas that already have little or no access to dental care services within a reasonable distance. The prospect of even a modest loan repayment award may incentivize a

dentist to establish services in a Dental Health Professional Shortage Are.

The Loan Repayment Program for Mental Health Professionals was established in 2015 by the 84th Legislature and is authorized under TEC §§ 61.601-61.609, Subchapter

K. The primary purpose of the Loan Repayment Program for Mental Health Professionals is to encourage qualified mental health professionals to practice in a mental

health professional shortage area (MHPSA) designated by the US Department of Health and Human Services, and provide mental health care services to recipients under

the medical assistance program authorized by the Texas Human Resources Code, Chapter 32, and to enrollees under the child health plan program authorized by the Texas

Health and Safety Code, Chapter 62, and to persons committed to a secure correctional facility operated by or under contact with any division of the Texas Department of

Criminal Justice. The Coordinating Board was appropriated $2,125,000 for the 2016-2017 biennium to enroll new participants, with the first awards to recipients occurring

The Coordinating Board is authorized under TEC §61.092 (enacted by the 61st Legislature, 1969) to contract with Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) for the education of

Texas resident undergraduate medical students. Medical education funds appropriated to BCM are trusteed with the Coordinating Board, which disburses the funds in

accordance with the enabling legislation. The first appropriations were made in fiscal year 1972. The amount of funding is based on the number of Texas medical students

enrolled at BCM, multiplied by the average, annual, per-medical-student state funding for medical education (General Revenue for instruction and operations,

infrastructure, and staff benefits allocated to undergraduate medical education) at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas and The University of

Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. (These were the only two state medical schools in existence when the state started providing funding to BCM.) The actual amount

allocated to BCM cannot exceed the amount of funding that is appropriated to BCM and trusteed with the Coordinating Board, and will be determined by actual

appropriations and actual enrollment of Texas residents for FY14 18 and FY15 19.

BCM’s earned amount for Undergraduate Medical Education is determined by the calculated statutory cap per medical student, as described above, times the actual

enrollment of Texas residents at BCM. BCM receives the lower of the earned amount or the available appropriation.

of Medicine starting in 2005. The GME funds appropriated to BCM are trusteed with the Coordinating Board, which disburses the funds to the College through a

contractual agreement. The amount of funding that BCM receives for each resident physician is equal to the amount received for each resident physician at the public

health-related institutions.

Texas Research Incentive Program

The Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP) was established in 2009 by the 81st Texas Legislature to assist public emerging research institutions in leveraging private

gifts for the enhancement of research productivity and faculty recruitment. TRIP provides partial matching funds based on how much an institution raises in private gifts

and endowments to enhance research activities, subject to available appropriated funding. So far, the Legislature has appropriated over $291 million for TRIP, which

matches $374 million in gifts. Since this program was first funded, five emerging research universities achieve Carnegie Tier 1 status.


State match funds appropriated for the 2016-17 biennium were not sufficient to cover all eligible gifts submitted by emerging research universities. If sufficient funds are

not appropriated to fund the 2016-17 backlog and eligible gifts submitted during the 2018-19 biennium, then the continuation of gifts may be jeopardized.

According to the Center for Disease Control, approximately 1 in 68 children have conditions along the autism spectrum disorder. Numerous studies have projected that the

U.S. will need to invest much more heavily in the diagnosis and treatment of autism in order to meet current and future needs. In contrast to available grants from the

National Science Foundation and other sources for research into the causes of autism, the Texas Autism Grant Program is focused specifically on treatment models. The

aim of the grant program is to identify new and innovative ways to maximize the number of autistic children reached with limited budgets. The grant supports projects that

use both established and innovative treatment models, expanding the reach from the classroom into children’s homes.

The state of Texas has passed legislation that inventories higher education institutions efforts in addressing the needs of Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled (IDD)

students in Texas. Autism, while not strictly IDD has been included in that study. If the state is going to pursue the education of IDD students, then developing better

behavioral treatment models and training of therapists is essential to that goal.

Student Loan Bonds Interest and Sinking Fund, the Student Loan Auxiliary Fund, and the Student Loan Revenue Fund are hereby appropriated to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, for the purposes specified in Article III, §§50b-4, 50b-5, 50b-6 and 50b-7 of the Texas Constitution and Education Code §§52.01-52.90 52.91 and 56.121-56.135.

6 III-46

III-47 Texas Success Initiative.

a. Developmental Education Coursework. Funds appropriated for developmental courses under Education Code §51.3062, shall be expended only for those costs associated with providing developmental education courses/interventions, including instruction, tutorial tutoring, program evaluation, retaining of professional development for faculty and support staff, and other related costs. The funds shall not be used for the recruitment of students.

b. Intent Concerning Developmental Needs. It is the intent of the Legislature that all affected institutions of public higher education fully address developmental needs identified by the institutions through the Texas Success Initiative with appropriations made in this Act for the developmental education coursework and other available institutional funds. Justification: Provides better clarity of program expectations.

8 III-47 Baylor College of Medicine.

a. From funds appropriated by this Act for the Baylor College of Medicine, the Coordinating

Board shall allocate an amount per student enrolled in the college equal to the cost of medical education in the established public medical schools cited in Subchapter D, Chapter 61, Education Code. The cost of medical education per student at public medical schools as determined by the Coordinating Board shall include General Revenue appropriations for instruction and operations, infrastructure, and staff benefits allocated to undergraduate medical education. Any unexpended appropriations made above as of August 31, 2016 2018, are hereby appropriated for the same purpose in fiscal year 2017 2019.

b. Appropriations made by this Act for Baylor College of Medicine are considered to be appropriations for any legal successor to Baylor College of Medicine and may be expended only for the purposes for which appropriated.

c. The Coordinating Board is authorized to make an intergovernmental transfer of the funds appropriated by this Act for Baylor College of Medicine to the Health and Human Services


3.B. Page 3 of 22

Commission. The purpose of the intergovernmental transfer is to provide the non-federal share of uncompensated care or delivery system reform incentive payments under the Healthcare Transformation and Quality Improvement Waiver.

9 III-47 Cost Recovery for the Common Application Form. None of the funds appropriated above to

the Higher Education Coordinating Board may be used to provide a common application form (either electronic or paper) for each general academic institution and each participating public two-year institution and participating independent institution unless the Higher Education Coordinating Board recovers costs related to the common application form. The amount collected from each institution shall be proportional to the percentage of enrollment compared to the total enrollment of all participating institutions based on the previous year's certified Fall enrollment data. The funds collected shall only recover direct costs and only be used for the purposes of the electronic common application form and related activities designed to encourage student enrollment in college. Any balances on hand at the end of fiscal year 2016 2018 may be carried over to fiscal year 2017 2019 and any such funds are appropriated for fiscal year 2017 2019 for the same purpose. Justification: Authorizes the THECB to support improvements to the Apply TX Counselor Suite and promote the application.

10 III-47 Retention of Economically Disadvantaged Students. The Higher Education Coordinating

Board shall include in the college comparison web profile the percentage of economically disadvantaged freshmen retained at public institutions of higher education as defined by the Legislative Budget Board and the Governor in consultation with the State Auditor's Office. Justification: Retention of economically disadvantaged students is a target in the 60x30TX plan and will

be reported as a performance measure. Deleting this rider will eliminate redundant reporting.

11 III-47 Tuition Equalization Grants. Any student who is a Texas resident under the Texas Education

Code Chapter 54, Subchapter B, or who is both a National Merit Finalist and has received a scholarship in the amount required to be eligible to pay Texas resident tuition under the Texas Education Code §54.213(a), is eligible for the Tuition Equalization Grants Program, provided all other requirements established by the Coordinating Board have been met by that student. None of the funds appropriated in this Act to the Coordinating Board for Tuition Equalization Grants may be expended for grants to non-resident students attending independent colleges or universities in Texas except for grants to eligible National Merit Finalists. The Coordinating Board shall present the result of its most recent annual need survey for Tuition Equalization Grant (TEG) funds as part of its biennial appropriations request to the Legislative Budget Board and the Governor. The request shall include the number of eligible students and an estimate of the amount needed to fund fully the TEG program in the coming biennium. The Coordinating Board shall update this projection to include the most recent fall semester data prior to the convening of each regular session of the Legislature and shall provide this information to the Legislative Budget Board staff prior to Legislative Budget Board deliberations on the TEG appropriation. Each institution receiving tuition equalization grants shall furnish to the Coordinating Board any financial information requested.


3.B. Page 4 of 22

Independent colleges and universities that enroll students receiving Tuition Equalization Grant funds appropriated by this Act shall provide reports to the Higher Education Coordinating Board regarding the diversity of their student body and faculty. The reports for headcount enrollment shall be submitted annually in a form and at a time consistent with the Board's reporting schedule. The faculty data shall be submitted to the Integrated Postsecondary Educational Data System (IPEDS) and accessed by the Board when available from IPEDS. Justification: Recommending deletion of language that allows TEG to be awarded to non-resident students (eligible to pay in-state tuition) who are National Merit Finalists, regardless of financial need. This is in alignment with the Commissioner’s desire to see TEG funding focused on students with the highest need.

12 III-48

Disparity Study for Institutions of Higher Education. The disparity study conducted by the

Comptroller of Public Accounts pursuant to General Appropriations Act, §16, page I-23, Seventyfifth Legislature, to determine whether past acts of discrimination by institutions of higher education have created any present effects of such past discrimination may be continued by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. The Coordinating Board may maintain and update as necessary the database developed for the disparity study. The Texas Education Agency and each institution of higher education receiving appropriations may cooperate with the Coordinating Board to continue the disparity study and to provide data to maintain and update the database. The Coordinating Board, the Texas Education Agency, and each institution of higher education that participates in the study shall comply with all applicable state and federal laws governing the confidentiality and privacy of the data used in the study. Justification: The THECB already collects and reports data that can be used to determine present effects of past discrimination. This issue has been a focus of Closing the Gaps over the last 15 years and will continue to be a focus in 60x30TX. The THECB is also required to report to the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S. Department of Education on the priority plan to strengthen Texas Southern University and Prairie View A&M University. Finally, the U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld a race-conscious admissions policy at The University of Texas at Austin indicating that there is still a need to address present effects of past discrimination. Deleting this rider will reduce reporting redundancies, but will not impact or diminish the importance of examining disparity issues in Texas higher education.

13 III-48 Information Access Initiative. The Higher Education Coordinating Board shall use the

appropriations above to coordinate with the Texas Education Agency regarding sharing, integrating, and housing pre-kindergarten through grade 16 (P-16) public education data in implementing its Information Access Initiative. The two agencies shall work together to ensure that common and related data held by each agency is maintained in standardized, compatible formats to enable the efficient exchange of information between agencies and for matching of individual student records for longitudinally based studies and analysis. It is the intent of the Legislature that individual initiatives interact seamlessly across agency systems to facilitate efforts to integrate the relevant data from each agency into a longitudinal public education data resource to provide a widely accessible P-16 public education data warehouse.


3.B. Page 5 of 22

14 III-48 Higher Education Assistance Program. Out of funds appropriated above, the Higher Education

Coordinating Board shall administer and coordinate the Higher Education Assistance Program to: a. Provide prospective students in high schools with college-going rates in the lowest 10

percent of all public high schools with information related to enrollment in public or and private or independent institutions of higher education, including admissions and financial aid information; and

b. Assist prospective students in these sites with completing applications related to enrollment in higher education institutions, including admissions and financial aid applications. The Coordinating Board shall select an institution of higher education or other entity to provide the information and assistance required at each site. The Coordinating Board may contract with the institution to host enrollment events. Justification: This rider is no longer applicable since HB 2550 (83rd Legislature), now codified as TEC Sec. 58.810, requires the IHEs to collaborate directly with the public schools. Also, this rider is redundant to the work the agency does under the Advise TX program where recent college graduates provide information about admissions and financial aid to prospective students enrolled at public high schools with low-college going rates.

15 III-48 Graduation and Persistence Rates. The Coordinating Board shall report graduation and

persistence rates, for each public general academic institution, to the Governor and Legislature no later than September 1, 2016 2018. For each institution, the report shall include:

a. Six-year graduation rate (same institution) - percent of first-time full-time students who earned a baccalaureate or higher degree at the same public general academic higher education institution within six years of becoming a first-time entering full-time student at that institution.

b. Six-year graduation rate (another institution) - percent of students who earned a baccalaureate or higher degree at a public general academic higher education institution within six years of becoming a full-time student at another public higher education institution.

c. Six-year persistence rate (same institution) - percent of students who have not earned a baccalaureate or higher degree, but are still enrolled in the same Texas public general academic higher education institution six years after becoming a full-time student at that institution.

d. Six-year persistence rate (another institution) - percent of students who have not earned a baccalaureate or higher degree, but are still enrolled in a Texas public general academic higher education institution six years after becoming a full-time student at another Texas public higher education institution.

e. Composite graduation and persistence rate - sum of the graduation and persistence rates in subsections (a) through (d) above. Justification: Increasing the number of economically disadvantaged students who graduate from college is a target in the 60x30TX plan and will be reported as a performance measure under the Completion goal in the plan.

As part of understanding progress towards this measure, information about retention of economically disadvantaged students will also be made available online. Deleting this rider will eliminate redundant reporting and ensure the primary focus of attention is on completion of this student population, not just first-year retention.


3.B. Page 6 of 22

16 III-49 Strategic Plan for Teacher Certification. Out of funds appropriated above, the Higher

Education Coordinating Board State Board of Educator Certification shall develop and implement a strategic plan to improve teacher professional development for certified teachers in the state to increase the quality and effectiveness of certified teachers in the classrooms. The Coordinating Board State Board of Educator Certification shall collaborate with the Texas Education Agency The Higher Education Coordinating Board, the Educational Services Centers, and Professional Associations in development and implementation of the strategic plan. The Coordinating Board State Board of Educator Certification shall oversee the implementation of the strategic plan. In order to facilitate the strategic plan, the Coordinating Board State Board for Educator Certification shall work with the Texas Education Agency Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, school districts, and professional educator associations. Justification: The State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) has direct oversight of teacher certification and professional development. Transferring this rider to SBEC will align this requirement more closely with the role and mission of SBEC.

17 III-49

18 III-49 Reporting by Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. It is the intent of the Legislature

that the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board include in its Legislative Appropriations Request for the 2018-19 2020-21 biennium, information on actual expenditures and budgeted expenditures for the Baylor College of Medicine, which receives distributions from the Permanent Health Fund for Higher Education and the Permanent Endowment Fund for Baylor College of Medicine.

27 III-51 Align Adult Basic Education and Postsecondary Education. The Texas Higher Education

Coordinating Board (THECB) shall coordinate with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) to prepare a report on the alignment of Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) and postsecondary education. To increase the number, success and persistence of students transitioning to postsecondary education from AEL programs and students enrolled in basic academic skills education courses and interventions, this report shall address by provider and statewide, as applicable: a.

DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION:

"This request would support initiatives to enhance cybersecurity at THECB with the implementation of commercial identity management solutions. The integration of

commercial identity services with THECB's customer facing applications will provide the robust, scalable and ubiquitous identity services needed to advance agency outreach

efforts with improved security features to protect the confidentiality of critical data maintained at the Agency. This project continues implementation of improvements

initially identified by the FY14 Gartner security assessment. A breach of the agency’s data holdings would result in negative reputational and financial consequences, for the

agency, the state, and the individuals whose records are exposed. The $215,000 in funds requested requires both one-time expenditures totaling $80,000 and annual costs

going forward of $67,500 ($135,000 for the FY18-19 biennium). As the preeminent source of higher education data in Texas and a provider of student loans, this request

serves to protect the millions of records the agency receives each quarter."

EXTERNAL/INTERNAL FACTORS:

"This request addresses an initiative referenced in a FY14 Gartner security assessment that originally provided an estimate of $2,090,000 plus 18.5 FTEs over 4 years to

address this, and other security initiatives. THECB completed many of the initiatives with existing resources. THECB requested $940K in FY16/FY17 for Agency, and Data

Center Services (DCS) security initiatives. Partial funding ($385K) was approved for the DCS initiatives and work is proceeding on the DCS funded initiatives with funding

granted for FY16/FY17. This level of Identity and Access Management is considered to be at the application level, as such it falls outside of the DCS area. Funding was not

provided in FY16/17 for Agency security projects, additional Agency funding is need to complete this initiative. This will serve to protect confidential data pertaining to

higher education, and extend efforts to meet state and federal requirements including TAC 202 and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act."

DESCRIPTION OF IT COMPONENT INCLUDED IN EXCEPTIONAL ITEM:

This project will require IT components in the form of identity and access management services provided for agency customer facing applications. THECB manages

applications providing student loan processing, collection and administration of reports from higher education institutions, management of loan repayment programs, and

outreach to prospective higher education students. This includes critical loan repayment programs, grant programs, many other agency applications that are integrated into an

agency developed authentication system (CBID). A commercial identity management solution will replace the agency developed CBID/CBPASS application,

CBID/CBPASS applications will be migrated to the new service. The identity service selected will be integrated with agency applications to provide authentication and

authorization to agency based applications.

IS THIS IT COMPONENT RELATED TO A NEW OR CURRENT PROJECT?

NEW

The anticipated solution will be a service based identity and access management service target to customer facing and business to consumer identity management. Several

leading identity management vendors have been evaluated (Okta, Microsoft), selection will be revisited pending funding progress. Additional consideration will be given to

DIR identity initiatives that advance in the near future. This project serves the agency mission to protect its confidential data pertaining to higher education to meet state and

federal requirements including TAC 202 and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

PROPOSED SOFTWARE EXAMPLES (Client-side, cerver-side, Midrange and Mainframe)

This project does not require hardware, agency applications are implemented and consolidated within Data Center Services. This project acquires application level services to

extend features of agency applications.

PROPOSED HARDWARE EXAMPLES (Desktop, Laptop, Tablets, Servers, Mainframes, Printers and Monitors )

The development cost is estimated to be $80,000 to cover initial configuration and one-time fees. Development cost does not include agency staff related cost to implement the

project. Annual cost are estimated to be $67,500 per year. Recurring cost for each biennium are estimate to be $135,000 to cover annual licensing and other recurring

service-based cost.

DEVELOPMENT COST AND OTHER COSTS

Security

TYPE OF PROJECT

The project implementation is based on estimated effort to implement commercial service based identity management services for agency customer facing applications,

limited application scope in regard to applications selected can provide some scaling in the event of partial funding. Vendors with lower cost services can be selected,

however with tradeoffs on feature and interoperability issues with applications and cloud based services. This funding is pursued in response to limited agency funding to

cover security initiatives. If this request is declined, critical non-IT agency programs would need to be adjusted to provide such funding.

IS THIS IT COMPONENT RELATED TO A NEW OR CURRENT PROJECT?

CURRENT

This funding will be used to acquire security products and services to meet agency-level information security needs. For FY18/FY19 the priority will be to acquire

Vulnerability Management tools, Application Security Testing tools and Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) capabilities. Vulnerability management tools will

be used to evaluate agency workstations and network for security vulnerabilities, with particular focus on tools that provide management capability for non-Microsoft

vulnerabilities. Application security testing tools are needed to analyze code early in application development cycle with additional review for security issues and coding

practices at a source code level. SIEM improvements are needed to improve THECBs ability to detect targeted attacks and provide early detection of security breach events.

PROPOSED SOFTWARE EXAMPLES (Client-side, cerver-side, Midrange and Mainframe)

Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM) may require hardware acquisition. A SIEM device to be located at the agency premise, and is estimated to cost $75,000.

Solutions will be evaluated to determine if this hardware cost can be transferred into a service based component.

PROPOSED HARDWARE EXAMPLES (Desktop, Laptop, Tablets, Servers, Mainframes, Printers and Monitors )

This project will cover acquisition of security services and security infrastructure. The request requires both one-time expenditures totaling $85,000. The one time cost

estimated will be $10,000 for implementation services to provision security services. An estimated $75,000 in one-time funding is need to acquire hardware for security

incident & event management. Annual costs for security services are estimated to be $70,000. This will require a recurring total of $140,000 for the biennium.

"The TEXAS Grant Program is the state’s largest grant program, providing aid to eligible students enrolled in baccalaureate degree programs at 4-year Public Universities

and Health-Related Institutions. General Revenue funding for the 2016-2017 biennium is $714,980,114, which is projected to cover roughly 85% of qualified students. In

order to spread limited funding across the eligible population, two activities have occurred. First, eligibility has been limited to students whose Estimated Family

Contribution is at or below the ""priority EFC."" Second, rather than awarding the maximum eligibility allowed, a Target Award of $5,200 was introduced in FY12, which

has not been increased since. In order to fully fund the TX Grant program, $1.6 billion in funding would be necessary. In order to fully fund the program using a $5,000

Target Award, $866 million would be necessary. In order to continue to fund roughly 85% of eligible recipients, $793 million would be necessary, representing a $78.3

million increase from 2016-2017 biennial funding. No increase in funding will lead to a drop to only 70% of eligible students funded in the first year of the next biennium,

and only 57% of students funded in the second year of the next biennium.

Legislative proposals have been submitted for changes in the calculation of TX Grant eligibility (e.g. maximum student eligibility = Tuition and fees minus Pell, not to exceed

demonstrated federal need), as well as limiting eligibility for TX Grants to a maximum of 135 credit hours. In order to fully fund the program under the proposed legislation,

a total of $1.1B in funding for the biennium would be necessary (compared to $1.6B under current statute). Utilizing a target award of $5,200 (an increase in line with

inflation) would require total appropriations of $819M (a $104M increase). The $78.3M increase proposed would reach 95% of the eligible students at a Target Award of

$5,200 under the proposed legislation."


"While maximum and target award levels are determined by statute and the agency, the award level for an individual student is determined at the institutional level. Thus,

changes in funding levels may extend to more students than projected if institutions choose to award smaller awards to more students, or to less students, if institutions choose

to award larger awards to fewer students. Statutory requirements also dictate that that institutions ensure that tuition and fees are covered by non-loan sources for any TEXAS

Grant recipient. Any reductions in non-loan sources available to institutions (for example, reductions in federal funding of need-based grants, or changes to an institution's

ability to set-aside tuition dollars for need-based grants) will impact the total number of TEXAS Grant recipients, as institutions will need to make larger awards to fewer

students."

"Advise TX CAC places 113 recent university graduates on high school campuses as near-peer college advisers to lead low-income and first-generation students to

postsecondary education. Advise TX CAC advisers receive intensive training before serving in a high school, completing a four-six week practical curriculum that focuses on

college access, college admissions, financial aid, student services, diversity, community service, and professionalism. Advise TX CAC advisers work in collaboration with

high school counselors, teachers, and administrators to increase the proportion of students attending postsecondary public and private institutions of higher education,

including community colleges and technical institutes. Advisers provide admissions and financial aid advising to students and their families through one-on-one and group

sessions that help students identify colleges that will serve them well; help students complete their admissions and financial aid applications; find the college that best fits their

career aspirations and academic preparation; and help them enroll at the college or university they eventually choose. Advise TX CAC has chapters at The University of

Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, Texas Christian University, and Trinity University with each chapter recruiting, hiring, and training its own graduates to serve as

advisers in selected partner high schools. This exceptional item request seeks to provide sufficient funding to serve an additional 80 (up to 210) high schools across TX."


"Factors impacting this strategy include: (1) Advise TX CAC, has the primary goal of raising the rates of college enrollment and completion among low-income and

first-generation-college students; (2) The premise of Advise TX is that many qualified students are deterred from pursuing higher education by non-academic barriers,

including lack of information about college admissions and financial aid; (3) Advise TX CAC was previously sponsored by the THECB through the federal College Access

Challenge Grant (CACG) and private entities, foundations, and businesses, including College For All Texans (CFAT) and the College Advising Corps (CAC); and (4) The

program is a priority program of the current Texas higher education plan, 60x30TX."

"The reality of what is, in essence, 60 distinct systems of higher education in Texas exacerbate transfer issues among colleges. It is further exacerbated by the fact that there

are differences between major requirements among institutions within systems. Given the number of academic majors (approximately 150), the number of Careeer and

Technical major (approximately 125), and the number of institutions involved the sheer number of articulation agreements necessary to provide seamless pathways to degrees

numbers in the thousands. Even if it were possible to have current articulation agreements between all schools for all majors, the differences could still present significant

barriers to students who deviate from or change from one particular pathway to another. Regional articulation agreements can only partially solve the problems asociated with

transfer of course credit. The same comment just made regarding the student who decides to change institutuions can be made about the student who decides to, or must,

change regions. FOS/POS address the issue through what is, in essence, statewide articulation agreements."

"Create a centralized academics records repository of closed postsecondary educational institutions formerly authorized by THECB to operate under a certificate of

authorization or certificate of authority, to provide centralized access to student records."



"Significant external unknown factors are the number and size of schools closing each year. Such unknowns can, and likely will, affect the budget use. For example, if a large

school or group of schools (ITT or University of Phoenix, for instance) closes, then a significant amount of the conversion of records portion of this budget proposal would be

used at once. Internally, the THECB currently has a list of more than 400 closed schools with contact information regarding school records. An estimated 200 of these schools

are not considered private, degree-granting, postsecondary education institutions that THECB would have granted authorization (e.g., beauty/cosmetology schools), leaving

an estimated 200-250 already closed school records the THECB would potentially absorb into the school record repository. THECB would begin systematically obtaining and

converting records as funds become available. This would be an ongoing process, as the proposed budget estimates converting approximately 10 schools per year. This slow,

steady conversion would require priortizition of the order and method in which records are brought in."

"Continuing to build on the substantial support provided by the 83rd and 84th Texas Legislatures is essential to maintain the advances achieved and continue to the goal of

more than enough residency positions available for Texas medical school graduates. The success of the GME Expansion Grant programs resulted in 25 medical residency

positions filled (previously unfilled due to funding) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2014. In FY 2015, the effort provided support for the establishment of 75 new first year residency

positions. This funding also supported planning grants, and resulted in the creation of nine new GME programs established in FY 2015. The 84th Texas Legislature continued

its focus on GME by streamlining the programs to target support, which allowed for funding to maintain support in FY 2016 for the new 224 residency positions, including

funding for new positions, and will maintain that support in FY 2017, as the number increases to approximately 459 GME positions. The exceptional item request will only

"Efforts to maintain and continue to increase the number of first-year residency positions is critical for the state to have enough residency positions available for Texas

medical school graduates. Notably, several Texas higher education institutions have aspirations and plans to develop new medical schools. Adding more medical schools

without adding residency positions ensures that Texas medical school graduates will leave the state for training. The challenge facing the state is to decide its priority: the

development of new medical schools or ensuring there are enough residency positions for medical school graduates to remain in Texas. It is unlikely that the state can afford

to adequately support both efforts."

"This request would support one additional internal audit position for a total of four positions, including the Director. A 2014 comprehensive internal audit benchmarking

study resulted in internal audit receiving one additional audit position out of existing agency resources. A fourth internal audit position, enabled by granting this request,

would better inform the agency of ongoing risks and would serve to more timely prevent or detect issues with possible negative financial and reputational consequences. The

agency manages a student loan portfolio of over $1 billion, and financial assistance programs to institutions of higher education of over $1.5 billion. The $170,000 request

for a fourth internal audit position represents an ongoing cost, and includes salary, benefits, travel and other operating expenses."



"Internal audit presented a multi-year audit plan to the agency's board for approval in July 2016. At existing resources of three internal auditors, certain organizational

functions will be audited approximately every 5-6 years. The addition of a fourth internal auditor would position internal audit to reduce audit cycle time, on a risk basis, to

approximately every 3-4 years."

ACQUISITN INFO RES TECH.Acqstn & Rfrsh of IT Infrtrctr

After two consecutive biennia with no funding for technology acquisitions, the agency received sufficient funding for

FY16-FY17 to restart the agency's normal refresh and upgrade programs. Per the agency's IT Replacement Plan, the agency

strives to provide staff with efficient workstations so that they can be as productive as possible. The agency is also constantly

seeking out new hardware and software technologies to improve not only staff effectiveness but also improve service delivery

to external customers. Level funding of $252,000 for FY18-FY19 will allow the agency to continue these efforts and replace

100 outdated desktop computers, 40 laptop computers or tablets, and to upgrade the agency's network and software

infrastructure.

Explanation: The 84th Legislature restored funding for this critical agency IT initiative. In conjunction with the funding restoration, the agency updated its ongoing

IT Replacement Plan to reflect planned spending on network hardware PC, Laptop, Tablet, Printer, etc. The agency continues to keep its network

infrastructure hardware and software current.

84th Legislature, R.S., HB-1, G.A.A., Article III-46, and Article IX-65, Section 14.01-Limitation on Expenditures -- Capital Budget.

Project Location: Austin, Texas

Beneficiaries: The Higher Education Coordinating Board, agency staff, and the general public.

Frequency of Use and External Factors Affecting Use:

The agency would not be able to effectively conduct business, and in some cases, would not be able to conduct any business without a responsive, reliable, and secure

telecommunications network infrastructure. Electronic communication supported by this project is the basis for most of the operations of this agency. The planned and

scheduled upgrading of the telecommunications infrastructure helps mitigate the risk of staff productivity loss due to network infrastructure outages.

Beneficiaries: This security upgrade will provide security services for all Texas state agencies and universities. The DCS program currently serves 40 state agencies,

3 universities and 4 local governments.


DCS security will support all of the agency's daily information technology center operations, including all of the internal and external facing applications supporting staff,

institutions of higher education and the general public. The primary external factor that impacts this capital is regulatory compliance and essential due diligence to protect the

state’s information assets.

Data Center ConsolidationData Center Services

In December 2011, the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) signed three multi-year contracts to provide

consolidated data center services to 28 state agencies and Angelo State University. The first of the contracts was awarded to

Capgemini North America, Inc. to act as a services integrator enabling the State to standardize processes and maximize the

value of its information technology services. The six-year contact, with an initial value of approximately $127 million, includes

service level management, service desk support, project management, IT security, business continuity, disaster recovery and

financial management.

A second contract was signed with ACS State and Local Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xerox Corporation, to

provide infrastructure services in four areas: mainframes, servers, networks and data center operations. Atos acquired Xerox

State and Local Services in June 2015. This eight-year contract, with an initial value of approximately $1.1 billion, emphasizes

delivering improved customer services, stabilizing the State’s IT infrastructure environment, and consolidating computer

servers from legacy agency data centers to the State’s two consolidated data centers.

The third contract was awarded to Xerox Corporation to provide bulk printing and mailing services. The six-year contract, with

an initial value of approximately $56 million, will leverage the State’s significant mail volumes to keep costs low, while

providing more flexibility to state agencies to meet their business needs.

CAPPS Statewide ERP SystemCAPPS

The THECB has been selected by the Comptroller to participate in the implementation of the Centralized Accounting and

Payroll/Personnel System (CAPPS). This is a centralized system for accounting and Human Resources to eventually replace

the current systems utilized by all state agencies. While the cost of acquiring the software will be covered by the CPA, the cost

of providing resources to implement the conversion will need to be covered by each agency. The agency does not have

sufficient resources in the accounting, HR office and IT department to assign this conversion. This request is for funding is for

cost and various conversion resource needs to convert to CAPPS as currently scheduled.

OPERATING COSTS DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION:

The agency has not had capital funding for PC replacements and lifecycle refresh during the FY12/13 and FY14/15 biennium. Funding of capital acquisitions in the FY18/19

biennium is essential to the maintenance of agency operations and staff productivity. Replacement of obsolete technologies in place at the agency is required to enhance agency

staff productivity and to improve service to the agency's stakeholders (institutions of higher education, students, legislature, Board and the public). With out this funding,

agency staff would experience productivity loss due to equipment breakdown or degradation of PC performance. Loss of this funding would increase future costs to maintain

these systems and overall future replacement.

Attainment:

The agency missed attaining the HUB procurement goal in the special trade category in fiscal year 2014 because work had to be done by the buildings property

management company 1200 East Anderson Partners and in 2015 we had no expenditures in this category.

In the professional services category, the agency missed attaining the HUB procurement goal in 2014 by -4.2% and by -2.3% in 2015. We continue to try and utilize

HUBs but there is limited availability of vendors for certain types of contracts for this category.

The agency missed attaining the HUB procurement goal in the other services category in 2014 by -7.1% but exceeded the goal in 2015 by +10.4%.

In the commodity category, the agency missed attaining the HUB procurement goal in 2014 by -13.7% but exceeded the goal in 2015 by +1.6%.

The Agency and HUB Coordinator have diligently increased the use of HUB’s on all procurements regardless of dollar threshold amounts.

13.2% 28.2%

The “Heavy Construction” and “Building Construction” categories are not applicable in either Fiscal Year 2014 or 2015 because the agency did not have any

strategies, programs, or expenditures related in these categories.

Applicability:

SUMMARY OF SPECIAL CONCERNS/ISSUES

The reduction in funding for Career and Technical Education (07-01-02, CFDA 84.048) reflects a change adopted by the State Board of Education to the allocation ratio

between secondary/postsecondary from 60:40 to 70:30.

When the No Child Left Behind Act, the authorizing legislation for the Improving Teacher Quality Grants, was reauthorized as the Every Child Succeeds Act in December

2015, the funding for the grant was removed. Based on federal notifications, all work will conclude in Summer of FY 18.

With the reception of the Marketable Skills Grant from the Texas Workforce Commission, the Coordinating Board will undertake a variety of activities to collect information,

engage stakeholders, evaluate strategies, and disseminate information on what are deemed to be best practices to ensure that students acquire knowledge and skills during their

postsecondary experience that will contribute to their success in the workforce and help achieve the Marketable Skills goal of 60x30TX. All activities will be completed within

two years.

There are two sub-awards with in RAND. The first is the Randomized Control Trial, which is an experimental evaluation of accelerated pathways through developmental

education. The second is the Continuous Improvement, which is research to support the implementation of a statewide reform to postsecondary developmental education. Both

grants are administered by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). All activities will be completed in June 2019 and 2020, respectively per sub-grant.

6.H. Estimated Total of All Agency Funds Outside the GAA Bill Pattern

The Hinson-Hazlewood College Student Loan Program is operated under the Texas Constitution, Article III, 50b-4, 50b-5, 50b-6 and 50b-7 and Texas

Education Code 52.01-52.90 and 56.135. Texas Education Code section 52.17 requires an Interest and Sinking Fund reserve equal to the principal and

interest coming due in the ensuing fiscal year.

This method of calculation assumes that the THECB will issue bonds totaling $130 million in FY 2018 and $120 million in FY2019 to finance the

Hinson-Hazlewood Loan Program. It also assumes loans issued will increase at 3% annually, and loan repayments and interest will increase at 4%

annually. Finally, this estimate assumes that administrative costs will increase at 2% annually.

3 Dental Educ. Loan Repay. Program




Texas higher education system. The Dental Education Loan Repayment Program does not provide financial aid to current students, and given that it has been

unfunded for several years, it is not an integral aspect of any individual's loan repayment strategy. The program has not yet disbursed current funding to any

individuals and is thus in a position to be de-funded with less impact on recipients than would occur with reductions in funding to the larger, more established

programs.

not an integral aspect of any individual student's financial aid funding, thus minimizing the impact of its elimination.

support for a month-long experience in one of the specialties. Approximately 350 students would not have the opportunity to shadow a primary care physician if

funding were cut.

Item Comment: In prioritizing limited resources for financial aid, emphasis was placed on elimination of programs which have a relatively small impact when

compared to the larger need of ensuring adequate need-based financial aid to students across the Texas higher education system. The TX Armed Services

Scholarship Program has a limited recipient base, both in terms of students receiving funding and institutions awarding funds (of the nominated students receiving

and award in 2015-2016 academic year, they enrolled in only two dozen institutions across the state, with 75% of students attending one individual institution). In an

effort to minimize the impact on students whose financial aid strategies already rely on this funding, the proposed reduction would result in funding being limited to

renewal students. Approximately 120 students eligible for first-time awards would not receive funding in this reduction scenario.

Texas higher education system. While the Physician Education Loan Repayment Program does not provide direct aid to current students, it is monetarily the largest

first 5% reduction scenario would result in limitations being placed on first-time awards. While no physicians would be impacted by the reduction in funding,

roughly half (70) of the eligible Nursing Faculty would not receiving funding through the program. The second 5% reduction scenario would impact physicians, as

well as nursing faculty, and would result in no new participants being added to the program (roughly 170 eligible participants would not receive funding).

23 College Work Study Program




Texas higher education system. The Texas College Work-Study Program is one of the top five largest financial aid programs that utilizes state appropriations to

provide direct financial aid to students, and its ranking reflects that. Rather than functioning as pure gift aid, such as the state's three signature grant programs

(TEXAS Grant, TEOG, and TEG), the work-study program requires a work component, as well as an institutional matching program (25% of wages must be covered

by the institution). To a certain degree, students who do not receive work-study still have opportunities to pursue other student employment at their institutions.

Thus, in ranking the program, it is more beneficial than a loan program requiring repayment and interest, but less beneficial than a grant program. This reduction

scenario will result in approximately 600 fewer students receiving an award.

college education (TEXAS Grant, TEG, and TEOG) and is focused on supporting students enrolled at private, non-profit institutions of higher education. A larger

reduction for this strategy is proposed than for the other two grant programs due to the fact that the public institutions participating in the TEXAS Grant and TEOG

programs will also be facing reduction scenarios in their operating expenses, while the operating expenses of private institutions participating in TEG are not subject

to the budget reduction process. These reduction scenarios will result in approximately 6,200 fewer students receiving an initial award.

2.) other data management activities, such as the development of a more robust data request tracking system. The cut would reduce the amounts available for

adjustments in staff compensation to reward and retain the high performers in the division, and it would reduce the ability of division staff to travel to conferences

and meetings, where strategies regarding the new statewide strategic plan will be discussed and developed.
