Trustee True said there needs to be a clear goal, and that the Board and the college need to reorganize around what has been lost. There needs to be a clear sense of purpose about what all the committees and processes are for, and determine where it is most meaningful to have input.

One of the goals of the grant is to develop a Faculty Inquiry System to allow faculty to have real time access to data on student outcomes. The grant allocates funds for a SQL programmer to develop this system. The Title V budget allocates $158,000 in funding for the SQL programmer. Both IT and PRO are supporting this project and two contractors have been hired to address the project programming needs. Several milestones have been reached and an initial set of beta testing is scheduled for December and January. In order to complete the major portion of the programming for the Faculty Inquiry System, Title V is providing funding for a contract with Vinod Verma, who has developed a similar system for the Chancellor’s Office, and who understands the faculty inquiry needs of educators, and whose system will meet our Title V goals. The new Faculty Inquiry System (nicknamed SOFIA for Student Outcomes for Faculty Inquiry and Analysis) will allow faculty to examine outcomes for the students they teach. The system will also allow learning communities to examine student outcomes both short term and longitudinally. The new system is expected to facilitate curriculum development, program planning, and the evaluation of student outcomes with easy to access, real time data. Fiscal Impact: Expenditures of $158,000 funded by the Title V grant for Professional Services Contracts, with a contract of up to $81,500 in one year to Vinod Verma.

Administrator Initiating Item: Graciano Mendoza Victoria Lewis Academic and Professional Matter If yes, Faculty Senate Agreement Senate President Signature No Final Disposition 56 12/13/11 Colleagues, Today, Governor Brown and the Department of Finance announced that revenues for the 2011-12 fiscal year were estimated to fall $2.2 billion below the budget assumptions made in June. Per statutory agreement reached by the Legislature and the Governor with the passage of the 2011 Budget Act, this shortfall will “trigger” both the Tier 1 and Tier 2 current year reductions outlined in statute and detailed in earlier communications. For the California Community Colleges, the impacts are as follows: · A $102 million reduction to base apportionments. · An fee increase from $36 to $46 per unit commencing in the summer of 2012. The Chancellor’s Office is preparing a memo to district chief business officials that will provide greater detail on the implementation of these reductions, but we thought it best to get the word out as soon as possible. In addition to the news about the triggers, today’s press conference revealed some other interesting information. · The Governor again indicated his intention to put an initiative on the November ballot to increase annual revenues by $7B. He indicated that he is communicating with those proposing competing proposals in an effort to “clear the field” in November, though no agreements have yet been reached. · He indicated that more cuts were coming in January, and that his budget proposal would again include midyear trigger reductions should the ballot initiative be rejected by the voters (so the $7B in approved revenues will be assumed in his budget). · Despite the bad news, the Governor did suggest that the economy is improving, just not enough to erase the deficit. · Notably, the Department of Finance’s forecast is more optimistic than was the Legislative Analyst Office’s November forecast (they estimated a $3.7 billion shortfall). Director Matosantos suggested this was due to higher November sales taxes and more up-to-date income information on 2010 incomes than had been available to the LAO at that time. · All Tier 1 and Tier 2 reductions are fully enacted, with the sole exception of K-12 revenue limit cuts. While K-12 revenue limits could have been reduced up to $1.5 billion if the forecasted shortfall had been $4 billion or more, the actual cut will only be $79.6 million. K-12 did also lose $248 million in transportation funding as part of the Tier 2 trigger, though. Attached is the letter from the Department of Finance informing the Legislature of the midyear reductions. Again, we’ll have more information out to CBOs about the implementation of the cuts, soon, and, of course, we will keep you posted on updates related to the January budget as they become available.

One change order remains to be approved by DSA. Staff will submit the complete closeout package to DSA for final certification upon receipt of final change order. Current Status Update: Waiting on final change order approval to submit for final certification from DSA. Health and Wellness Project The Allied Health project consists of two buildings totaling 57,000 square feet, and is the new home for programs such as Nursing, Radiology Technology, Medical Assisting, Dental Hygiene, Health and Wellness, and the Stroke Center. RMW is the architect and Soltek Pacific is the contractor. Construction began in May 2008 and the buildings are 100% complete. Staff is in the process of closing out the project. All remaining issues have been resolved with the contractor. Current Status Update: The majority of the equipment for the building has been purchased and installed. There are additional items to be purchased. Construction of an ADA ramp and sidewalk from parking lot J to the center of the two buildings is complete. The two ADA accessible parking spaces and adjoining ramp are complete. The installation of carpet in rooms H.W. 2212 and H.W. 2214 are expected to accomplish final acoustical corrections. The project is being closed out and unused funding is reverting back to the bond fund. Building 300 Renovation On February 1, 2010 the Governing Board approved an award of bid to Tombleson Construction of Salinas in the amount of $1,560,136 to renovate the 300 building. 12,523 square feet was remodeled and reconstructed to provide ten general purpose classrooms, two large assembly/classrooms and nine BELA division offices in spring 2010. The renovation is substantially complete. Current Status Update: The building has been occupied beginning spring semester 2011. The project is being closed out and unused funding is reverting back to the bond fund. DSA is currently processing requests for project closeout they received in the month of February 2011. The District is awaiting final closeout and certification from DSA. Some of the equipment has been purchased and installed. Watsonville Green Technology Center The District and the City of Watsonville closed escrow on the purchase of the Watsonville Library on July 15, 2008. Since then, the college has demolished the building in order to construct a 14,000 square foot Community Education Center. The District received a grant for $2.5 million from Economic Development Agency for the project, and the grant was augmented by $865,000 to help fund an upgrade to a Platinum Level LEED certified “green” building. The Division of State Architect (DSA) approved the plans in June of 2010 and EDA approved the plans and specifications in July 2010. The project went to bid in August 2010. In October, the Board approved Dilbeck and Sons as well as an augmentation to 60 the budget of $517,000. A deductive change order for the value engineering items discussed at the October Board meeting was approved at the November Board Meeting. The District has received a generous donation from the Ley Family of $100,000 for construction to add back some of the items that were placed on hold. Current Status Update: Staff is working on creating the punch List with the design team. Buildings will be substantially complete in January 2012. Data wiring and data connection to the existing campus network is in progress. Awards of Informal Bids under the Uniform Construction Cost Accounting System (UCC): By adopting the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting System, the Board authorized the President or his/her designee to enter into agreements with low bidders using the informal bidding process with the provision that the successful awards would be presented to the Board as an information item. This system enables the District to 1) informally bid projects under $175,000 to prequalified contractors, 2) more efficiently and effectively manage small to medium sized projects, and 3) contract with local contractors who are deemed “qualified” bidders.

Scheduled events include a kick-off Breakfast with Brian on Monday morning, January 30, featuring an informal dialog on student success. Flex also provides opportunities for College-wide discussion on such initiatives as the Accreditation Self-Study, Chancellor’s Office regulations affecting curriculum and student matriculation, and using statistics to evaluate student success related to transfer and degree completion. Additionally, the Basic Skills and Learning Communities programs, in conjunction with the Planning and Research Office, will look at strategies to track student cohorts through math, English, ESL, and reading. Several sessions address issues that arise with our diverse student population. Topics include strategies to support foster youth, effective teaching of students with disabilities, and understanding the impact of gangs, and the educational struggles of students with language barriers. The first annual Cabrillo Reads project will discuss issues of identity, social justice, race and politics raised in the book “Invisible Man.” The focus will be on ways to integrate these topics across the curriculum. The Spring 2012 Flex Calendar was approved by the Staff Development Committee on November 17, 2010 and approved by Faculty Senate on November 29, 2010.

Forum 450 8:30–10am Brian King Creating and Sustaining a Culture of Civility in the Health Care Professions and Beyond Incivility and bullying are a major problem in the health care professions and in our communities. The costs are dramatic in terms of depleting vitality and effectiveness in work environments, with a direct cost to patient safety. This presentation draws from data and work within academia and the nursing profession, and is applicable to all areas where civility and responsible exchange of ideas is critical. We will discuss how incivility and bullying is defined, when it is most likely to occur, how we do it, the cost, and a call to action. Strategies will be presented that mitigate incivility and bullying and promote civility and quality discourse. College policy and campus resources for confronting tough situations will be presented. Everyone is welcome—bring your concerns, experiences, and ideas.

Room 1091 10am–12noon Deborah Shulman and Laurie Shipley Moneyball—Can stats show if your students are getting On Base? When a new way of looking at athletes’ performance allowed one of the poorest baseball teams to topple teams with famous players and much larger payrolls, it signaled the beginning of a new era. Are we in education at a point – like professional baseball in the eighties and nineties – where we could benefit from a fresh look at our core statistics? Success rates, completion rates, retention rates, transfer rates…all seem to have something important to tell us, but are we overlooking or undervaluing something that is right in front of us? In an effort to move beyond our traditional data sources, newly developed data such as Campus Climate data on student engagement, technology use, service usage, and cognitive activities will be presented and potential new data sources will be considered and discussed. Examples (including grade inflation) of four information inefficiencies that may be interfering with our potential will be discussed. Note: you do not need to know anything about baseball to participate in this session! Room 312 10–11:30am Craig Hayward and Natalia Cordoba-Velasquez Deepening Our Understanding of the Impact of Gangs and Other Forms of Social Violence on Our Students’ Lives It is well known that many of our students who are “at risk”—due to class or racial inequalities, educational struggles, immigration status, language barriers, etc.—enter at the basic skills level, facing a real uphill challenge in completing their math, English, and other college requirements. But what about our basic skills students who are “high risk”—meaning, students who present ultra “risk” factors such as: incarceration, gang affiliations, substance abuse, and more? Featuring community leader Jaime Molina and Cabrillo College students, this workshop will explore gangs/social violence in our community, its impact on our youth, and realistic strategies for Cabrillo faculty and others on what we can do to help. SAC West 202 10am–12noon Gail West, Cathy Diaz, and Victoria Banales CCEU Fall Luncheon The Cabrillo Classified Employees Union will discuss current challenges ahead and build some solidarity— all together in one place.

Though designed especially for these departments, the workshop is open to all. Room 508 1–3pm Marcy Alancraig and Rick Fillman Basic Skills and Learning Communities Advisory Council (BSLCAC) Born out of the California Basic Skills Initiative, BSLCAC was created at Cabrillo as a way for faculty and staff to meet and discuss best ways to serve our basic skills (pre-transfer level) students and programs. This meeting is divided into two parts: in the first hour, PRO will demonstrate a powerful new tool that allows faculty to track cohorts of students through the basic skills sequence in math, English, ESL and reading; the second hour will be devoted to learning communities.
