TBA Saga – Still TBA…
Other CTE areas that use TBA
hours
What constitutes sufficiently
“robust” student tracking?
CTE
 If TBA hours are being used for
fieldwork or internships, isn’t there
another option?
 Why not internship or fieldwork?
 What “rules” apply?
Tracking – “Guidance” coming
 Guidance will be drafted regarding the interpretation of the term
“regularly scheduled” when applied to TBA hours attached to a
weekly census or daily census course section.
 …students would be required to participate for the same number
of stated hours per week for each week that the class is
scheduled, and documentation would demonstrate that enrolled
students have done so.
 Audit language will include requirements for regular monitoring
of student participation in TBA activities and criteria and
conditions that, if not met, would result in invalidation for
apportionment purposes of TBA hours for a course. For
example, if an audit determined that all students or a significant
number of students enrolled in a section did not fulfill the TBA
obligation, then the TBA hours would be invalidated for
apportionment purposes.
Proposed Title 5 Changes
 Language to “fix” withdrawal and
repetition issues scheduled to have
a 1st reading at BoG in May
 Also includes language with
respect to Early Childhood
Education

awarded in all areas not included in part (a).
