Committee Meetings
 On Monday, both the House Higher Education Committee and the Senate Subcommittee on Higher Education considered several bills of interest to DCCCD. SB 1029, which is part of Gov. Perry’s Higher Education Plan, relates to performance incentive funding for institutions of higher education. The bill, which was the subject of a great deal of discussion, has been left in committee. [Read the bill]
Yesterday, the Senate Education Committee heard testimony on SB 365, which would create a health professionals education grant program. The intent of this bill is to award grants to institutions that offer distance and community-based education programs for nontraditional students who enter healthcare professionals programs. The bill was left in committee and will be addressed again next week. [Read the bill]
On Thursday, the House Select Committee on Higher and Public Education met for the first time. This committee will review allocation formulas and accountability measures. Most of its work will be done during the interim period after this session ends. Beginning in July, committee members will hold monthly meetings and finalize their interim report by next summer.
