Explore the possibility of re- In Progress None Revised October 22, 2012 YES ASCC Student Senate has increased their line-item budget for Student Employment at the Student Affairs Desk by $4,000 for a total of $20,000. This, with a reduction in service hours will provide for a balanced budget to operate the Student Affairs Office. A request for augmentation of funds from the VPSS has been denied. The Office will operate with a new and restructured budget which includes a reduction in service to students. The main area of concern is data collection for student IP reports/referrals made to the SSCT. The current system is time-consuming and inefficient. Dennis has confirmed support from IT and funding for software from Ellucian. Planning for the implementation of this data collection software is scheduled to begin in June 2014. A recent webinar sponsored from Foothill College has given us a link to a bus pass program that may be adaptable to Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz County. IP negotiating a new bus pass program. The data collected measures only 1 of the 3 areas referenced in the SLO (service is addressed, information and referrals are not addressed). Goal 4. Develop a data collection system to collect information and referrals information. In Progress None No data is provided on the effectiveness of the “Relationships with Other Departments”. Goal 5. Evaluate the effectiveness of collaborating with other departments. In Progress None Considering the recently announced retirement of the CEO of the Santa Cruz Metro District, soon it will be time to attempt to re-negotiate a new Cabrillo Bus Pass program with the Santa Cruz County Metro District. Referral data will be addressed with the adaption of the Ellucian software planned for summer and fall of 2014. Collection of this student data will require the development of a survey or other info data collection system. This is in process. The survey will be developed and completed by the end of the fall 2014 semester. IP IP New Goals and Recommendations Since Last Program Plan List any new goals and recommendations identified by the department Goal/Recommendation (include timeline) Goal 6 (new goal from spring 2014) Provide ongoing funding for a behavior intervention team (BIT) to promote early identification and early intervention with a “See something, say something” philosophy in an effort to prevent tragedy and promote student success. Revised October 22, 2012 Cost $12,000 Explanation/Evidence of Need (indicate how this need was assessed) We have developed a behavior intervention team named, SSCT, Student Support Conference Team. This team is composed of representation as follows: Dean of Student Services Admin. Asst. for the Dean of SS Director of the Student Health Center Psychological Counselor from SHC Director of ASC (formerly DSPS) Status (Comment on progress of new goals/recommendations listed in last annual update) The SSCT has been in operation since February 2013. This group needs funding resources for training regarding threat assessment and best practices for addressing reports on student concerns, disruptions and academic dishonesty. The VP of SS has already committed funds to implement a much needed software program. Funding is now County Mental Health Law Enforcement Faculty Senate Counseling Allied Health Learning Centers needed for conference attendance and other workshops/trainings to form an effective and efficient team. The Dean of SS has allocated $12,000 of one-time funds but this support needs to be ongoing if we are to be successful as preventing tragedy such as happened at Virginia Tech.
