The "Examination of the Costs of Texas Community Colleges" study examined the funding levels necessary for community colleges to meet their promise of providing an affordable and accessible pathway to a postsecondary certificate or degree. The study involved three types of analyses: a needs analysis, an equity analysis, and a cost function analysis. The findings from this study can inform Texas policymakers' efforts to distribute funding for community colleges to support equitable opportunities for all students to succeed in college. This document presents the following three appendixes that accompany the study: (1) Texas' Student Success Points performance-based funding system; (2) Data and methods; and (3) Supporting analyses.
