Statement of Purpose


The Resource and Planning Council (RPC) at Renton Technical College (RTC) was rebranded in 2021 as the primary body to lead the college’s institutional effectiveness including strategic planning and resource allocation. RPC will ensure that our actions reflect our mission, vision, and values so that we may better serve our students and communities. It also addresses college performance in an equitable way so that we are able to provide quality programs and services to our students. 

RPC was formerly known as College Council, and was historically the recommending body to Cabinet. It was rebranded in 2021 to align with our strategic goals and accreditation standards. 

Scope of Work / Charter

The scope of work for which RPC operates under is as follows:

  • Provide feedback to Cabinet and the President in alignment with the college’s mission, vision and strategic direction
  • Lead college planning
  • Review past plans to make decisions on future planning based on data (strategic indicator assessment) and subject matter expertise
  • Review budget requests and make recommendations to Cabinet, per policy 
  • Support RTC accreditation preparation and processes, when necessary
  • Communicate the work of RPC
