State leaders reviewing funding model for community colleges
OKLAHOMA CITY – Rep. Monroe Nichols, D-Tulsa, led an interim study last week reviewing an outcomes-based funding model for community colleges, drawing inspiration from Texas’ recent transformative initiative.
The Texas model, explained by Kelle Kieschnick from Texas Commit Partnership, emphasizes funding allocation based on student achievements such as graduation and certificate completion, a departure from the traditional enrollment-based approach.
