Giovannini, Ed.D. Chancellor December 14, 2018 To the Board of Trustees: I am pleased to share the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report with you and with our commu- nity. Through this report, you will get a detailed picture of the District’s financial operations for fis- cal year 2018, which ended on August 31, 2018. Embarking upon my third year as TCC’s fifth chancellor, I am more confident than ever about the pivotal role Tarrant County College plays in our community. Given the ever-increasing tuition rates of four-year institutions and the long-term effects of student debt on the overall economy, communi- ty colleges have never been more vital than they are today. For a disproportionately large segment of our population, TCC represents the one viable path to a college degree or a skills credential, both of which profoundly affect an individual’s ability to obtain a meaningful job and live above the pov- erty line. Consider this: an individual with an associate degree will earn a median salary that is ap- proximately 17 percent higher than an individual with only a high school diploma. That’s why the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board – the governmental agency tasked with overseeing all post-secondary education in the state – instituted its Texas 60x30 plan in 2015. Under this aggressive, but mission-critical plan designed to protect the state’s long-term financial vitality through a well-educated, well-prepared workforce, 60 percent of all Texas residents are expected to have a college degree or certificate by 2030. According to the Coordinating Board, “Sixty percent of Texans will need a certificate or degree for the state to stay competitive in the global economy. Right now, not nearly enough Texas students are completing the levels of education needed to fill the jobs that will be available.” We call those “new collar jobs” and we probably cannot predict what many of those jobs may look like. We just know that the state has hundreds of thousands of job openings that require training beyond high school, but not necessarily a baccalaureate degree… and that’s today. Texas 60x30 tasks us to meet this challenge while preparing for the future. i To the Board of Trustees Tarrant County College District Clearly, a plan of this magnitude requires collaboration and cooperation, and these are two of Tar- rant County College’s greatest assets. Data support what we already know to be true: the sooner we can get children onto the higher education path, the greatest their chances for continued educa- tional attainment will be. Through our robust Dual Credit program, which now includes more than 8,500 high school students throughout 16 Tarrant County school districts, high school students are taking college-level courses and earning transferable credits that will give them a significant head start – financially and academically – once they are matriculated.
