3. Area C: I-15 Corridor
“Need for a Center: Examining the population present and growing in the I-15 corridor, the college should pursue site selection and state approval for the construction of a 37370 A.S.F. facility. While only a ’staging campus’, the needs of the population already present could easily and rapidly enroll such a campus to capacity, generating over 1,600 FTES annually.”
4. Area D: San Gorgonio Pass
“Speed of Development: In the population projections, data are referenced which would result in over 3,800 enrollees by 2025, assuming 39 enrollments per 1,000 adults.
“The college should pursue state funds for the design stage of a permanent center on the site.”

A Pass campus is years out (2025) with current head count enrollment at 400. Asking taxpayers for $47,000,000 WITHOUT access to state matching grants and center approval status is counter to district’s own plan. Administrative recommendation to build Banning now, is politics, not leadership.

Building a campus without State approval results in zero operating funds. The State only funds projects that they approve. How will the Board address that issue? And why is the Pass Area more important than Temecula where thousands of stundents have been educated in rented facilities for decades? This project just doesn’t make sense.
Let me get this correct. If we divide the 47 million by 400 we get $1.175 million ; 47 million by 3800 we get roughly $12,400. Average these two values and divide by 15 (for the 15 years) we get $39,578 per student/year.
If my math is correct, our district is asking to spend 47 million in tax dollars which amounts to an average of $39,578 per student per year over the next 15 years so that they can save a 12 mile commute to the San Jacinto Campus?
My math could be wrong, but I wonder what this will accomplish for the Banning/Beaumont district other than a diversion or increase in tax dollars to save a pittance in gas costs.
I certainly hope our district at least uses the campus to expand upon green energy and tech programs that will give back to that community over time and make that expenditure somewhat palatable and in the end rewarding. Truthfully, we should be partnering with UCR and alternative energy companies in the private sector that will develop job training for the community college students and research grants for the university students in that area.
Jason - When you add in interest on the bonds all your values are about double.
I’m an out of work flooring contractor. of course I get no help from the government because I’m self employed. How will I pay all these extra taxes at 53 yearsn of age and living in banning?
