Strategic Budget Reductions and Future Planning
In light of ongoing financial uncertainty, Seattle Colleges has formed a Strategic Budget Reductions and Future Planning Task Force (SBR&FP). The group is charged with “reviewing all relevant financial data and making recommendations on reducing operational cost, raising efficiency, and identifying opportunities for future investment.” (See the chancellor's memo). This website will be used to keep the district informed and serve as a repository for meeting materials and other information. (See Resources and Documents below.)
