SECTION 1.9

Final Environmental Impact Report (CCR title 5, § 55181, 55184)

Shasta College followed the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) process for legal environmental entitlement for the Tehama Campus (referred to as the Tehama College Center Project in the EIR documents). Shasta College initiated the CEQA process in February of 2006 by issuing a Notice of Preparation to the State Clearinghouse. The District circulated a draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) on February 3, 2007. A Revised Partial Draft Environmental Impact Report (RPDEIR) was published on November 19, 2007, in response to public agencies and community feedback. The District circulated the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) on February 11, 2008. The Shasta College Board of Trustees adopted the Resolution for the Tehama College Center, approved the proposed project, and adopted the FEIR on February 27, 2008. The FEIR included some mitigation measures for the 40-acre site. All mitigation measures were completed. Appendix G contains the FEIR and all related documents.

Economic Efficiency (CCR title 5, § 55181, 55184)

1.10A – Priority Given to Centers That Create No Financial Burden for the State

There is no immediate anticipated financial impact for the State in approving the Tehama Campus as an Educational Center. Shasta College will continue receiving the same amount of apportionment through FTES and the Student Funding formula, with the only increases related to ongoing growth. The funds from the locally approved Measure H bond and the relatively new campus facilities limit any potential capital-outlay funding needs from the State. With the 10-year enrollment projections (Exhibits 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, and 2.05) for the Tehama Campus remaining under 1,000 FTES, there are no immediate financial implications for the State.

1.10B – Similar Priority Given to Centers That Engage in Collaborative Efforts with Other Segments to Expand Educational Access in Underserved Regions of the State

Shasta College remains committed to serving and meeting the needs of its tri-county district by incorporating all extended sites into its enrollment plan and distributing student services and programs appropriately. This commitment has been established in Tehama County since 1970 when courses were first offered at local high schools. The creation of an independent presence in the community in 1991 and the eventual opening of the current Tehama Campus in 2009 provides further evidence of this commitment. Shasta College’s investments have resulted in steady FTES growth in Tehama County and district-wide support of the Tehama Campus attaining Educational Center status.

There is an established history of the Tehama Campus engaging in collaboration with various segments of the community. The Tehama Campus has actively worked to support the local K–12 school districts, attended annual community educational events, participated in Chamber of Commerce meetings and events, and contributed to the Tehama Education Foundation at the Board level. Some community groups that have partnered with or used resources of the Tehama Campus include: Tehama County Community Action Agency, Berrendos Middle School, Tehama County SERRF, Red Bluff Elementary School District, Tehama County Department of Social Services, and Expect More Tehama. Official recognition of the Tehama Campus into an Educational Center will further enhance collaboration with local community groups.

Community support for the Tehama Campus transitioning into an Educational Center has been overwhelmingly positive, and the process has not received opposition from any institution, community group, or entity. Shasta College has received letters of support from College of the Siskiyous, Butte College, College of the Redwoods, Feather River College, Simpson College, California State University, Chico, and Lassen Community College District. Local supporters include the City of Red Bluff, Corning High School, the Job Training Center, Los Molinos Unified School District, the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians, St. Elizabeth Hospital, the Tehama County Sheriff's Office, Red Bluff High School District, the Tehama County Board of Supervisors, the Tehama County Department of Education, the Tehama County Library, and the Tehama County Department of Social Services. The letters from local supporters verify that the community has been consulted, there is no anticipated negative impact, and the Tehama Campus achieving Center Status is viewed positively.

Shasta College has effectively provided educational opportunities for underserved populations, which is reflected when comparing Tehama Campus student demographics with those of Tehama County. Tehama Campus students identified their race and ethnicity as follows: White (44.5% compared to 68.3% county), Hispanic or Latino (37.7% compared to 25% county), some other race (9.6% compared to 0.02% county), two or more races (3.6% compared to 3% county), Asian (1.8% compared to 1.5 % county), American Indian or Native Alaskan (1.4% compared to 1.4% county), Black or African American (1.1% compared to 0.7% county), and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander (0.4% compared to 0.02% county). Tehama Campus

students identified their gender as follows: female (72.2% compared to 50.2% county), male (24.4% compared to 49.8% county), and unreported or other (3.4% compared 0% county). The Tehama Campus serves higher percentages of underserved populations compared to county demographic percentages.

The Tehama Campus serves a low socio-economic area. Tehama County is a rural community in which 22% of households fell below the poverty line in 2019 compared to the State average of 9.6%. The Tehama County average per capita income ($17,617) was less than half of the State average ($36,955). While the Tehama Campus serves all of Tehama County, it is centered in the areas with the highest poverty rates and lowest incomes, with 31.4% of households below the poverty line.

The Tehama Campus provides local opportunities to help individuals reach their next level of education including GED attainment, workforce training, certificates, associate degrees, university transfer degrees, and four-year university general education completion. Most Tehama County adult residents (76.1%) do not have a college degree and are categorized as: 30.5% (13,361) having some college and no degree, 30.1% (13,212) are high school graduates or equivalent, 8.3% (3,626) having completed somewhere between 9th and 12th grade but not earning a diploma, and 7.2% (3,154) having completed less than 9th grade.

The Tehama Campus has been successfully reducing equity gaps in Tehama County’s underserved populations for 12 years with significant investments in programs, facilities, and services. Tehama County’s low incomes, high poverty rates, low educational attainment, and limited local employment opportunities are compounded by its limited transportation options, large geographic area, and lack of technology infrastructure. The Tehama Campus continues to evaluate and address educational barriers that are prevalent in the community.

Conclusion

The transition of the Tehama Campus to an Educational Center is a positive step to increase local higher educational opportunities, address labor market needs, provide additional access and outreach services to underserved populations, and expand collaboration with community partners. As noted in section 1.1A, California Education Code (5 CCR § 55180) outlines the five requirements for an approved Educational Center. The Tehama Campus satisfies the first four requirements as it: A) has operated for more than 10 years and plans to continue serving future generations, B) generates above 500 FTES annually, C) has an on-site administrator, and D) offers programs leading to certificates and degrees conferred by Shasta College. This Needs Assessment provides information in support of approval by the Board of Governors, which will satisfy the final requirement (E).

The 500 FTES requirement for an Educational Center has continually been met since the Tehama Campus was built in 2009. The Department of Finance approved the 10-year FTES projections (Exhibit 2.10), demonstrating FTES stability of the Tehama Campus. The Tehama Campus has an on-site administrator, assigned faculty, counselors, and classified staff. The Tehama Campus provides a variety of courses with outcomes resulting in transfer degrees, associate degrees, certificates, basic skills, and lifelong learning. A total of 21 certificates, 27 local degrees, and 35 transfer degrees are currently attainable by Tehama students and conferred by Shasta College.

There is a concerted effort at Shasta College to strategically manage resources in order to create efficiencies, address potential issues, and provide the most educational opportunities for all students within the District. Shasta College will continue to mitigate potential negative impacts through careful coordination at all District locations, employing mindful consideration of the types of programs and services offered. The Tehama Campus is as committed to these principles today as it has been for the last 12 years.

Shasta College decided in 1970 to actively serve and be a catalyst for positive change within Tehama County. As evidence of its deep appreciation for the residents of Tehama County, Shasta College has invested in building programs and services that culminated in the current Tehama Campus. Shasta College’s commitment embodies the essence of the California Community Colleges System and its purpose for creating Educational Centers. The information in this Needs Assessment demonstrates the need and provides justification for the transition of the Tehama Campus into a comprehensive Educational Center. Approval would reaffirm Shasta College’s historic and continued commitment to serving its district.
