The Pathway to HB8 Success: Predictive Modeling Meets Improvement Science

Thursday\, February 26  \;•\;  \;11:30 AM - 12:15 AM CT

 \;

This session examines how improvement scie nce methods can strengthen institutional forecasting under Texas House Bil l 8’\;s performance-based funding model. Using Northeast Texas Commun ity College as a case study\, I will share how iterative PDSA cycles\, inc luding integrated reporting calendars\, cross-department collaboration\, a nd predictive modeling\, are being used to reduce funding uncertainty and improve planning accuracy.

 \;

Attendees will learn strategies to identify r oot causes of budget forecasting errors\, prioritize high-impact change id eas\, and balance equity with accountability. Key takeaways include how ru ral-serving colleges can adapt to policy volatility\, embed forecasting in to strategic planning\, and sustain continuous improvement processes that protect student success.
