3b.3 - Exceeded target: 100% (2013-14 data; 2014-15 not available)

3a.3 - 80% of EOPS/CARE students received the Pell Grant.

3b.3 – Exceeded target: 88 % of EOPS students completed the FAFSA and received a Pell Grant while 92.5% of CARE students completed the FAFSA and received a Pell Grant. (2013-14 data; 2014-15 not available)

4) Explain how collected data was analyzed and evaluated.

3a.1 & 3a.2) Data collected from the SARS Student Appointment Database for each semestser is pulled using the statistical report entitled “Unduplicated List of Student by Reason Code” S – COMP SEP and S FOLLOW UP

3a.3) Data compiled from the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office MIS Data Mart

http://datamart.cccco.edu

The data is collected from each college at the end of the semester. It is then compiled and made available to all colleges through various types of queries made directly from the CCCCO.edu Datamart website.

Programs – click both EOPS and CARE

3a.4) Using an Excel spreadsheet, Persistence data is derived by comparing the Fall ’14 to the Spring ’15 MIS data. The two lists are combined and duplicates are removed. The number removed indicates how many duplicates exist. (That number is the number of students who persisted from fall to spring.) Only those students who completed their three mandatory semester contacts are eligible to persist to Spring.

3.5) CARE students are required to attend two on or off campus workshops each semester in addition to meeting their EOPS requirements. Two CARE Workshop Attendance Forms are distributed to them at the beginning of the semester and they must be signed by the individual conducting the workshop. CARE students must submit the signed forms by a specific date each semester in order to receive their CARE grants. The SARS Grid is used to record workshop attendance, and a statistical report is compiled for each semester under the “Unduplicated List of Students by Reason Code: Workshop. The number of students who completed their workshops is compared to the total number of CARE students reported in MIS for the semester.

5) Identify gaps between expected and actual results.

3b.1 – Multi-semester SEP –We fell slightly below our target of 90% for the Fall and Spring at 88%. This is one of the fundamental components to remain in good standing with the EOPS Program. Student who did not make this first contact were removed from the program the following semester.We will continue to send out enews to all students to increase the number of SEPS completed.

3b.2 - Progress Report – We fell slightly short of our target of 80% for the Fall at 78% and for the Spring we exceeded the target by 3% (83%). We continually stress the importance of turning in a Progress Report each term during EOPS Student Orientations, through email blasts, and during individual counseling appointments and I think our efforts are beginning to pay off.

3b.3

Receive the BOG: Exceeded target outcome by 10% We are very pleased that all students

7 Program Review Update 2014-15

received the BOG Fee Waiver. Now that the BOG Fee Waiver Information comes directly from the FAFSA, it has been much easier to reach and exceed our target as all students in our program complete the FAFSA as they are from low-income families.

Received the Pell Grant: Both EOPS and CARE students exceeded our target goal.

3b.4 – Persistence – Unfortunately, we did not meet our target goal of 75% persistence from Fall to Spring. We fell short by 4%. We attribute the decrease to the fact that we are strictly enforcing our policy3 contact policy each semester. Students who fail to comply are exited from the program unless they complete a formal appeal with documented extenuating circumstances.

3b.5 – CARE Workshop attendance: We did not meet our 85% target goal in Fall ’14 or Spring ’15 ((76% and 78% respectively) for CARE students attending their two mandatory workshops and meeting EOPS requirements in order to receive the CARE Child Care grant. For this population, the loss of the CARE Child Care Grant is a significant one as the fall grant amount was $600 and the spring amount was $900. We will continue to notify all CARE students via enews blasts of the importance of meeting their requirements.

6) Document results and outline needed changes.

EOPS/CARE students are meeting somet of our assessment goals. They are almost up to target on SEP completion (Fall & Spring: 88%). Submission of Progress Reports (Fall: 78%; Spring: 83%) increased by 5% from Fall to Spring.. We fell shy of our persistence target, but feel we can bring it back up through continued communication with students regarding program compliance. We have actually improved our percentage of CARE students following through on their 2 mandatory workshops to receive their CARE Grants from our Fall ‘12 assessment, but we still fell short of our target of 85%. We will continue to monitor our CARE students closely to ensure that they are following through as the CARE Grant is very helpful with out of pocket child care costs and other educationally related expenses.

Current Staffing Level: The CARE Program falls under the umbrella of the EOPS Program. At this time, there are no staff positions funded with CARE funds. All funds go to services for CARE students.

Facilities (source: Faculty/ Dir/Coord/Dean) 1) List of all facilities (Please indicate if any of these were added last year): EOPS/CARE is centrally located on the second floor of the Cravens Student Services Center (CSSC) Building. The suite contains four offices, one storage room, two workstations, and two front counter areas. Two of the offices house the CalWORKs Program. 2) Assessment of adequacy of current facilities: The current office space is too small to fill the positions required to fully carry out the functions associated with the current allocations. The current staffing for EOPS/CARE/CAlWorKs and Foster Youth in the current space is 14 persons including full time, part time and student workers. Positions have not been filled due to lack of office space. Equipment and Supplies (source: Faculty/ Dir/Coord/Dean)

Equipment: EOPS/CARE equipment includes 7 Dell computers, 4 Dell printers, one HP color printer, and 7 Cisco telephones. There is also a large Sharp Digital Imager Copier in the storage room that was paid for by program funds. We have one large storage cabinet for EOPs and a storage closet for CARE - specific student supplies. We have one HP Officejetpro Fax machine and scanner and two Fellowes Shredders. Supplies: All supplies for EOPS/CARE are purchased through program funds only. In the 2014-15 year, EOPS spent $7,908 on supplies which include paper, printing cartridges, copier maintenance agreement, postage, as well as college copy charges.

9 Program Review Update 2014-15

Summary - Narrative Interpretation (source: Faculty/Dir/Coord/Dean) Funding/Budget: EOPS and CARE funds are allocated by the State Chancellor's Office each year. EOPS: The EOPS Allocation Formula was adopted by the Board of Governors in July 1989 and has three basic elements: 1. Base Allocation - $50,000 each college 2. Students Served - 90% of remaining funds for students served reported through MIS 3. College Effort - remaining 10% for college effort in excess of the 15% minimum level

In accordance with EOPS Regulations, the District is required to cover at least the 15% minimum contribution and thus pays the salary and benefits of the Program Coordinator. The remaining faculty and staff are paid through Categorical/ Restricted Funding. Reallocated funds are limited and must be applied for each year. CARE: The CARE Allocation Formula was developed and implemented in Fiscal Year 1989-90: 1. Base Allocation - $10,000 each college. 2. Balance of remaining funds allocated on the basis of total number of students served statewide. 3. Minimum funding level per program: 95% of previous year allocation. NOTE: During the 2014-15 year, both EOPS and CARE were flat funded - EOPS: $367,293. CARE: $67,512.

with over 40 organizations contacted. Program/Service Challenges (source: Faculty/Dir/Coord/Dean) Over the past five years, our program has been recovering from the 40% budget cuts that occurred in 2009-10. We were very pleased that EOPS funds were partially restored to $367,293 during the 2013-14 year, but in 2014-15, we were flat funded as was CARE. State funds were redirected into a new categorical area entitled “Student Equity” giving the District control over the funds rather than directing them to EOPS and CARE. As you will see on the following graphs, that regardless of our program challenges, we continue to serve our EOPS and CARE students with “over and above” services.

Breakdown by semester (Duplicated Headcount) Spring ’14 Honor Students =105 Fall ’14 Honor Students = 103

In conclusion, the EOPS/CARE Program continues to provide comprehensive services to the most vulnerable students on campus. Our annual unduplicated student head count for 2014-15 was 374, an increase of 37 students over last year. Although we were flat funded, we still provided our students with the EOPS Book Service for Fall, Spring, and Summer and gave them all “Academic Survival Kits” which included a backpack, pens, and binders. However, we do not have the funds to meet the needs of all the students who are eligible for our services. We received approximately 600 applications in 2014-15 year and were able to serve only 160 new students. We turned away 440 students. During the 2014-15 year, the primary challenge of the CARE program was to maintain the integrity of services in light of the 2009-10 budget reductions. In spite of being flat funded and understaffed for the past five years, we served 54 CARE students, demonstrating our commitment to the neediest students on campus.
