1. Revised Partnership Agreement – Revised Organizational Chart. The combined
Provost/CEO position will now be a CEO position. The CEO will report to the Special
Trustee and Compton Board. District operations – business services, human resources,
facility planning and development, and maintenance operations will report to the CEO.
The Administrative Dean, Academic Affairs position will be eliminated. There will
now be an El Camino Vice President, Compton Center who will report to ECC President
and will be located at Compton. Academic affairs and student services will report to the
El Camino Vice President, Compton Center.
2. Compton Accreditation. We put in the agreement that if we were able to be ready in
2010 with FCMAT scores, etc. we might be into a 2012 eligibility and it might take four
years after that. We are not ready. FCMAT affects our readiness. FCMAT has not
been into the district three times and the scores were not sustainable in any area. Some
people think that the Compton Board controls the application, they do not. The El
Camino Community College District applies for the center.
3. Five-Year Budget Assumption & Projection Details – ECC was distributed. Five-year
planning is required by the Accrediting Commission. This document was reviewed by
PBC on 12/3/09 and will go to the Board for information. All numbers are educated
estimates with the exception of the PERS employer rate. The PERS employer rate came
from a PERS circular dated 11/19/09. These assumptions and projections will change
frequently. We have assumed no increase in student fees and what affect that might
have. We don’t know about mid-year cuts. With the money we have had in reserves we
have consistently protected full-time employees. We are fairly confident on that through
2010-2011.
