1. Program Plans

Fast Track to Work: Catherine presented the FTTW program review. A few
suggestions were made for edits, but otherwise feedback was that the plan was
very detailed and well done. Catherine will forward the final document to Sandi
to post on the web site.
Counseling: Barbara presented the Counseling program review. Again, a few
suggestions were made for edits, but overall feedback was very good. Barbara
will make the changes and send the final document to Sandi to post on the web
site.
Student Health Services: Katie presented the SHS program review. No edits were
recommended. Sandi will post on the web site.
Dennis thanked everyone for their hard work on the program plans. Student Services
has now completed a major recommendation from the college’s last accreditation.
2. BP/AP 5035 – Tama
The committee reviewed the policy on withholding student records. Tama will revise the
BP and AP with the recommended changes and send to Dennis and Sandi.
3. Budget Update
With Phase 4 reductions, the college is about halfway to meeting the $2 million target.
(If the November ballot measure does not pass, this target will increase.) Student
Services has given up approximately $286,000; Instruction has given up approximately
$700,000; and Administrative Services has given up approximately $200,000. The
Phase 4 Student Services reductions include:
• A&R assistant position eliminated.
• Financial Aid Program Specialist position eliminated.
• Two new Financial Aid Advisors hired (replacing two vacant positions; one due to
a retirement).
•
•
One month reduction (to 11 months) for the Student Affairs Program Specialist
(at the Operator Console) position and for the Student Employment Coordinator.
Their schedules to reflect the reduction will be announced.
Dennis has swept all remaining general fund balances for the deficit, excluding
equipment and software accounts. The total is approximately $80,000. The 14
and 17 account balances remain.
Phase 5 will address the second half of the $2 million (or more) target.
4. Staff Development Day
August 2 has been designated a staff development day for classified, confidential,
management, and some faculty staff. Offices will be closed so that staff can attend.
There will be a welcome at 11:30, followed by lunch. A schedule of morning, afternoon,
and some all-day workshops will be sent out soon.
