Welcome to Planning, Budgeting & Assessment
The Planning, Budgeting, and Assessment (PBA) process is the method the Butte-Glenn Community College District uses to integrate its planning, budgeting, and assessment efforts.The intent is to have planning drive the budget and assessment drive the planning. The PBA process links episodic planning efforts - such as strategic planning, educational master planning, other master planning, and program review - into the annual budgeting process. It also generates the demographic, performance, and program information required to drive the overall planning effort.
The PBA process flowchart provides a graphic representation of the PBA process to include activities, timelines, and how each of these activities is integrated. A text description of each step in the PBA process is at the following link. A PBA calendar for 2007-08 is also available.
For Planning, these tools include the System Strategic Plan for the California Community Colleges, Succeeding Together 2012, the proposed strategic/educational initiatives from the Strategic/Educational Master Plan, and Planning Updates.
As the District Strategic/Educational Plan is finalized it will be posted on this page. The Facilities, Student Services, Financial, Human Resources, and Technology Master Plans will also be posted on this site as they are completed.
Budgeting is under the direction of the Office of Administration, which is responsible for coordinating the development of the District’s annual budget. Starting in fall and continuing through spring, Leadership Teams review district priorities, goals and strategic direction, prior year’s activity, and requests for additional or new funding via unit plans. The Vice President of Administration reviews and develops revenue and expenditure scenarios based on the latest information from state and local sources. A tentative budget is prepared for the Board of Trustees approval in June. A final budget is prepared in September, after the state has passed its budget and the district has closed the prior fiscal year.
Linked to the Assessment page is the demographic snapshot, and soon it will include the "balanced scorecard," to demonstrate in graphic form the overall institutional performance, tied to core indicators of success and strategic planning milestones. The Strategic Plan effectiveness indicators will be available soon. Also linked to the Assessment page is information that programs and departments can access for program review.
