IPBM - A Collaborative Process

III. A Collaborative Process

The IPB process outlines the partnership between the district and the Colleges in order to identify budget guidelines derived from several planning documents.  These planning documents include the colleges' educational master plans, colleges/district technology plans, facility plans, strategic goals established by the Board of Trustees, as well as other goals or board priorities that may require resource allocations that do not fall under one specific category.  In developing the budget, resources will be allocated to the extent that funds are available taking a conservative approach to allocation of funds.

In developing the final budget the first priority is to allocate sufficient resources to maintain those functions that support the mission of the colleges and the district so that high quality instructional services can be offered to students. The district recognizes that there are a number of permanent fixed costs that exist, these expenditures are identified in "STEP #3A" which represents those commitments and contractual obligations that support district-wide commitments:
