community college district contracts with a public or private entity
for the purposes of providing instruction or services or both by the
community college.
(b) "Credit" refers to any class offered for community college
credit, regardless of whether the class generates state
apportionments.

apportionment pursuant to Section 84757.

educational programs or training to meet the specific needs of these
bodies.
(b) The contracting community college district or districts shall
recover, from all revenue sources, including, but not necessarily
limited to, public and private sources, or any combination thereof,
an amount equal to, but not less than, the actual costs, including
administrative costs, incurred in providing these programs or
training.
(c) The attendance of students in these contract education
