CPC Update

I appreciate everyone that was able to take advantage of the professional development opportunities this week. I hope you found them beneficial and learned at least one thing! Be sure to share your knowledge with your teammates that were unable to attend!

I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend. We're down in Texas at Cedar Creek Lake for the weekend, spending time with the in-laws. I'm looking forward to watching the cousins play together and having some quiet time outdoors, enjoying the weather. See you Tuesday!

Please renew and/or register no later than May 31st!

Remember: The district pays for dues and registration, but other costs like PAC and scholarship contributions are not covered by the FTTC.

Stipend Information was emailed out this week. For those attending, please download a copy of the Stipend Worksheet and save for August.

New federal regulations going into effect for next school year require that we post indirect cost components on any webpage or publication that describes tuition and fees for career majors that are eligible for Federal Financial Aid. We aren’t allowed to link to a separate webpage with those indirect costs, as we’ve done in the past.

Kurt is working to gather all the data elements that need to be published for each career major. For these indirect cost components, the Financial Aid Office uses averages that are based on the College Board’s research for our area. These amounts are less than the national averages that most of the tech centers use.

Example:

Housing for students living with parents: $248 per month

Housing and food for students not living with parents: $993 per month

Transportation: $206 per month

Personal and miscellaneous expenses: $674 per month

The intent of these regulations is to give students a clear idea of how much it costs to attend school so they can make informed decisions and budget accordingly. Andrew suggests we make it very clear that these are estimated indirect costs, not costs the student has to pay to Francis Tuttle.

More to come on this, I'm sure!

We have begun testing the application and reviewing the data fields. We are also revising the emails that are sent upon account creation and applicatio submission.
