Bill > SB437

This bill establishes a technical college funding task force composed of 15 members, including presidents of various technical colleges and appointees from legislative and commerce leadership, to design and recommend a pilot outcomes-based funding model for Kansas technical colleges. This model aims to align state investment with measurable results, focusing on academic success, workforce outcomes, and economic development, with specific metrics like credential attainment and job placement. The task force is required to submit a report to the legislature by January 31, 2028, detailing recommendations for implementing this pilot program, including proposed funding amounts, distribution methods, and alignment with state economic and workforce goals, potentially incorporating additional funding sources like enrollment-based grants.
