The Strategic Plan Overall Goals and Current objectives/funding priorities were reviewed, in
light of the need to allocate $60,000 of remaining funds for 2013-14. Several edits were made
to the objectives, since we have completed some of them, and for some we have gone on to
the next step. During this discussion, we identified some funding needs, such as PSCN 25
sections, ESL learning support, and early enrollment in math.
We then had 5 minutes to discuss funding priorities or process. Several ideas were thrown out,
such as dividing funds between program review requests and BSC – identified needs, or
splitting between Matric, learning connection, and bottlenecks, but we decided we were too
rushed and had too few people to decide. Will continue discussion on April 9th. Then, we will
have a chance to review the program review requests for learning support and basic-skillsrelated initiatives.
