Board Meeting

due to the budget cuts. No one reports any extraordinary interest in the board meeting at
this time. If this changes, College Council members are instructed to notify the
President’s office to make necessary accommodations.

Harold Tyler
Mr. Tyler attended a meeting chaired by the Vice President from Los Angeles Valley
College, which consisted of the Los Angeles Community College District and area single
districts. They are planning on doing a march on the Governor’s office March 28th. They
are requesting that all single district campuses be involved. They would like each school
to bring at least 300 students, get ASO’s and other combinations to pay for buses, and
donate $500-$1000 towards the cost of the event. Mr. Tyler will provide Dr. Caldwell
with paperwork he received. They would like stories from students on how the budget
cuts have impacted them. It was decided that we would support if the students want to
participate. Mr. Tyler will verify if any students want to participate and we will go from
there.
