As part of the integrated planning process for SBCC, the Budget Resource Allocation Committee will ensure that an open, equitable and orderly budget process is instituted and followed in establishing the operational budget of Santa Barbara City College.

Budget Resource Allocation Committee
Committee Charge
Welcome!
As an operational committee that reports to the President, the purpose of the Budget Resource Allocation Committee (BRAC) is to ensure that the District’s strategic planning is tied to resource allocation in a demonstrable, collaborative, transparent, and sustainable decision-making process. Accessibility is not just physical access, such as adding a ramp where steps exist. Accessibility requires looking at how programs, services, and activities are delivered. The Budget Resource Allocation Committee was created to provide a shared governance process for reviewing all District budgets in detail and make budget recommendations to the College Planning Council (CPC). BRAC does not report to CPC.
