The Higher Education Coordinating has indicated that they will need resources in the professional services and travel categories to develop the plan. Professional service contracts will be awarded to assist full-time staff with data collection and research necessary to develop the plan. Travel resources will be needed for staff travel to regional meetings with institutions of higher education to collect data and feedback for the plan.
The Higher Education Coordinating Board would require $75,000 for professional service contracts for fiscal year 2010 and $75,000 for fiscal year 2011. These costs were based on the average contracts for data collection, research, and meeting facilitation for similar efforts by the Higher Education Coordinating Board. The estimated cost for two professional service contracts will range from $35,000-$38,000 each.
The Higher Education Coordinating Board would require $10,000 for staff travel for fiscal year 2010 and $10,000 for fiscal year 2011. The estimated cost for travel is based upon $1,000 for two full-time staff persons to travel to ten regional one-day meetings held with institutions of higher education regarding required components of the developmental education plan.
