people in attendance at each campus.
First module to be rolled out will be admissions in Oct. 2014
Paul McKenna – brought up a discussion that TPPC take a
discussion on the unexpected funds that will come to LACCD
this summer from the state, and just as the board has created
minimum admin staffing for colleges based on FTE’s
(allocation model), we should request an allocation model for
IT.

motion that we should look at minimum staffing levels at

Goal for 2014 – look at standard 3c – will focus on collectively
instead of individually since all the colleges will be going
through accreditation at same time.
Map Digital Literacy standards and how our technology
standards are doing to link to digital literacy.
