Board Policy – Divison E E.1.2 Salary Range Conditions (R 10/96) [AP E 2.1] Initial Placement and Promotion To ensure minimum eligibility requirements are met, an applicant's qualifications for a position will be evaluated thoroughly by Human Resources and a College officer, or his/her designee, before a recommendation for employment is made. Qualifications must be documented on the College's employment application form. All undergraduate and graduate degrees and semester hours must be earned at accredited institutions. Credit for graduate work completed at foreign universities may be given at the discretion of the College. The stated minimum eligibility requirements for appointment may be waived at the discretion of the Board, upon the recommendation of the Chancellor. Initial appointments will normally be at the minimum salary of the range which applies to the position as classified by the College. However, an amount above the minimum may be recommended by the Chancellor for prior experience above the minimum required for that position. College employees who are promoted will be placed at the appropriate salary range commensurate with their qualifications. Such placement may exceed the minimum for that range. Unless superseded by Board action on an annual basis, those whose current salaries are at or above the established maximum salaries for the job classification and range assigned will receive no salary increase unless and until such time as the maximum for their range exceeds their salary.

Board Policy Division G G.8 Persons with Disabilities (R 9/96) [AP B 7 & G 6] Access to programs, courses and services will be provided in compliance with relevant laws. G.8.1 Grievance Process for Students with Disabilities (4/04) [AP B 7, G 6 & G 6.1] The College is committed to the elimination of legally impressible, arbitrary or unreasonable practices which result in discrimination. All groups operating under the policies of the College, including all employees, student governments, and programs sponsored by the College are governed by this policy of nondiscrimination. In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Board policy, the College does not discriminate on the basis of disability. a. Purpose and Scope The purpose of this procedure is to provide College applicants/students with disabilities an opportunity to resolve complaints alleging discrimination based on disability (in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.). It also allows for complaints from employees who are asked to provide the accommodation(s). However, if the accommodation is approved by the Access oOffice, the employee will provide the accommodation(s) while he/she is appealing the requested accommodation(s). It is the intent of this procedure that complaints would be resolved, if at all possible WHEN POSSIBLE, in the area or department where the alleged violation occurred. Because each grievance must be judged on a case-bycase basis, it would be impossible to state or limit within this procedure the type of relief which might be afforded. If the ADA Hearing Committee finds in favor of the applicant/student with a disability(s), the reparation for such complaint must be consistent with the authority delegated to that body. This procedure does not apply to the following types of complaints as other appeals procedures exist: • Administrative Withdrawal - In order to remove a failing semester grade, a written appeal must be received by the executive dean. Extenuating circumstances should be clearly explained, and any relevant supporting documentation should accompany the withdrawal request. • Employee Grievances - Complaints of College employees except student employees should be processed through the appropriate ADA Personnel Grievance Procedure. • Grade Appeals - When the appeal involves a final grade, within 10 working days of receipt of the written response from the dean, the student or the faculty member must file a written request with the president for a hearing of the campus Academic Appeals Hearing Committee. Within 10 working days of receipt of the student’s or faculty member’s request, the campus president will designate the Hearing Committee and provide the committee with the original allegations and written responses. The committee will have 15 working days to conduct the hearing. The committee’s decision will be final. • Student Discipline - All students, including students with disabilities, are expected to follow the rules as stated in the College’s Student Rights and Responsibilities handbook, and violation of student conduct is subject to the hearing procedures stated in such handbook. • Student Record Challenges - In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, students may challenge their record as being inappropriate, misleading, inaccurate, or in violation of their privacy. A student/applicant may review his/her official educational records by submitting a written request to the Admissions, Registration and Records office. b. Definitions • District COLLEGE ADA Coordinator - The individual designated to oversee the investigation, mediation and processing of complaints brought under this procedure. This person will act as a resource to the Cosand Centers /campuses' EMPLOYMENT AND CAMPUS ADA Compliance Officers and the ADA coordinator for employment by researching necessary information, providing awareness, and establishing consistent policies under the ADA. This person will attend all formal grievance hearings, but will not be a voting member of such hearing. The district COLLEGE ADA coordinator (with the help of general counsel) will be responsible for providing an annual in-service for new campus/Cosand Center ADA Hearing Committee members. • Campus/ Cosand Center EMPLOYMENT ADA Compliance Officers The individual(s) designated to receive the formal ADA grievance form. The ADA Compliance Officer(s) will meet with the grievant and necessary employees, conduct an investigation and attempt to resolve the grievance. The ADA Compliance Officer will issue a decision based on the relevant information and interviews. He/she will be responsible for notifying the grievant of his/her decision within 10 working days after the grievance is filed. He/she will be responsible for notifying the chair of the ADA Hearing Committee when the grievant wishes to appeal his/her decision. • District Coordinator for Employment –EMPLOYMENT ADA COMPLIANCE OFFICER The individual designated by Human Resources to oversee the College’s response to requirements under Title I of the ADA. He/she will hear all formal ADA complaints brought forth by employees of the College and applicants/students at the Cosand Center. • Chair(s)/ADA Hearing Committee(s) - The chair of the ADA Hearing Committee and its members will be appointed by the appropriate campus president or vice Chancellor. The campus committee will be composed of a faculty member from each division, four professional employees (or two professional and two classified employees) and two students with two alternates for each group. Alternates will serve in case of illness or conflict of interest. The district COLLEGEADA Coordinator and campus/Cosand Center EMPLOYMENT compliance officerS will act as ex officio members of the committee. Members will serve alternating two-year terms except for students, who will serve one-year terms. At least one voting member of the committee should have a disability. The charge of the committee will be to hear grievance appeals of applicants/students with disabilities only after the grievant has exhausted all informal channels, and the ADA compliance officer has attempted to resolve the grievance. • Applicant - A member of the public with a disability who has applied for admission to a program, activity or service provided by the College. • Student - an individual with a disability who has been accepted to the College and is enrolled in classes. • Employee who has been asked to provide the accommodation(s) - An employee who has been asked to provide an accommodation(s) for a student/applicant with a disability. An employee who has received notice from the Access Office that a person with a disability is entitled to an accommodation(s) based on presented documentation must provide the accommodation(s) while he/she is appealing the requested accommodation(s). c. Summary of ADA Grievance Procedure The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that public entities with 50 or more employees adopt a grievance procedure which provides for prompt and equitable resolution of grievances which arise from Title II requirements (which covers students and applicants to a College program, activity or service). This procedure does not cover student record challenges, grade appeals, student discipline or employee grievances since other procedures have been established for these instances. • Informal Grievance - The student/applicant or the employee who is being asked to provide the accommodation(s) who wishes to appeal College action regarding accommodation(s) for a disability should do so informally by requesting a conference with a member of the Access Office and other appropriate employees; i.e., this includes the instructor when the complaint is about a classroom accommodation that was or was not provided. If the matter is not resolved, an appeal may be made through the normal administrative channels (department chair, dean or executive dean as appropriate). An ADA/504 Informal Grievance form must be completed and submitted to the ADA Compliance Officer before the conference. STEPS FOR INFORMAL GRIEVANCE Step 1 Resolved or go to step 2 Student/applicant or employee contacts instructor to discuss academic adjustments Resolved or go to step 3 Step 2 Student/applicant or employee requests conference with Access Office and employee.

The Compliance Officer will conduct an investigation and attempt to resolve the grievance. If the student/applicant or the employee is unsatisfied with the outcome of the Compliance Officer’s decision, the Compliance Officer will notify the district COLLEGE ADA Coordinator and the chair of the campus ADA Hearing Committee. The chair of the committee will convene the committee within 10 working days of receipt of the formal grievance. The student/applicant or the faculty/staff member may request an appeal to the committee in person or have the committee act on the written materials submitted. If the student asks other people to represent him/her at the hearing, the student must also participate. The committee will render its decision within five working days following conclusion of the hearing. The chair will notify all parties concerned of the committee’s decision. If the student/applicant or the employee is dissatisfied with the committee’s decision, he/she may appeal to the campus president APPROPRIATE COLLEGE OFFICER, (SEE BOARD POLICY B.2) whose decision will be final.

G.9.11 Satisfactory Academic Progress for Students Receiving Federal Higher Education Act (HEA) Title IV Financial Aid (R 9/96) [AP G 7.10] The College has established qualitative and quantitative measures for evaluating the efforts of Title IV aid recipients to achieve an educational goal, degree or certificate. An assessment of these efforts will occur at the end of the fall, spring and summer sessions. a. A student pursuing an associate degree that requires 64 or more credit hours for completion, must be able to complete that degree within a maximum of 96 credit hours. A student pursuing a Certificate of Proficiency that requires 30 or more credit hours for completion, may attempt up to a maximum of 48 credit hours. At the end of each semester or summer session, the student must have earned a passing b. c. d. e. f. g. h. grade in at least two-thirds of all credit hours transcripted through that semester or summer session. A student receiving Title IV aid is required to meet the standards of satisfactory academic progress as defined in the Board policy “Satisfactory Academic Progress.” A student who fails to meet the above criteria will be placed on financial warning for the next semester of enrollment. Title IV aid eligibility may be continued during the financial warning semester. However, a student who fails, withdraws, or receives I, PR or U grades for all courses in a given semester will not be eligible for Title IV aid the next semester. A student on financial warning must meet the criteria in items a and b. Failure to do so will result in ineligibility for Title IV aid in the next semester of enrollment. A student who fails to meet the standards for Title IV aid eligibility may continue to enroll at his/her own expense. A student may become eligible again for Title IV aid when the criteria in items a and b have been satisfied. A student may receive Title IV aid for a one-time repeat of a course in which a required grade was not attained. (Refer to Board policy "Repeated Courses.") A student receiving Title IV aid must enroll in courses that fulfill his/her educational goals. These courses should follow published degree/certificate requirements either as AS EITHER general education requirements, program requirements, electives, or prerequisite developmental courses. A student may appeal the denial of Title IV assistance by writing the manager of Student Aid documenting all extenuating circumstances. The appeal will proceed through normal administrative channels ending with the administrator responsible for Student Financial Aid. Board Policy Division H H.2 Fiscal Budget (R 5/97) [AP H 1] The Chancellor will each year prepare or cause to be prepared an estimate of the income and revenue available for expenses to be incurred in the forthcoming fiscal year and will at the same time prepare or cause to be prepared an estimated budget for the operation of the College in the forthcoming fiscal year. The estimated budget will be divided into those specific subdivisions deemed necessary for fiscal control. The Chancellor will file the report of estimated revenues and EXPENSES, submit the estimated budget to the Board not later than June 1 of each year, and the Board will normally adopt a budget at the regular June Board meeting of each year. The estimated budget will be deemed the operating budget for the forthcoming fiscal year when approved by a majority of all of the members of the Board of Trustees. Upon such approval all sums set forth in the budget will be deemed appropriated for the purposes therein set out. No expenditure will be made which is not authorized by the budget. After the adoption of the budget, no report or resolution will be adopted calling for the expenditure of money unless it states specifically the fund or sub-fund from which the appropriation is to be made and is accompanied by a statement of the treasurer that there is a balance in such fund available for such expenditure. If the Board fails to adopt a budget by the end of the fiscal year, it will thereafter appropriate on a monthly basis such funds as will be necessary to operate the College until a budget is adopted. The budget may be amended after adoption only by a majority vote of all members of the Board.

LOUIS COMMUNITY COLLEGE AT FLORISSANT VALLEY to the sole source bidder, JOHNSON CONTROLS, for $84,926.00.

As mentioned last month, the College anticipated that it would have a larger amount of total revenue, specifically local taxes, by this time in the fiscal year. The College has been waiting for one of the taxing jurisdictions to release approximately $5.0 million of taxes paid under protest. However, since the $5.0 million in taxes was not received until March 3rd, that revenue will be reflected in next month’s Board report. Expenditures Expenditures are $83.3 million or 63.4% of the budgeted expenditures as compared to $78.3 million or 60.7% for the prior year. Increases in all three of the main categories of expenditures are causing this year’s expenditures to be greater than the prior year’s. Transfers Transfers are at $15.1 million or 90.5% of the budgeted transfers as compared to $14.5 million or 90.4% of the budgeted transfers for the prior period. The increase in the transfer amount is due primarily to the increase in additional planned leasehold bond payments.
