The items already funded have been highlighted in dark gray. The next step is to send this document to the Budget Committee for review.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n STUDENT SUCCESS AND ACCESS COMMITTEE INFORMATION <\/strong><\/p>\n (Led by Darcy Bogle, VP of Student Services, and Mark Williams, VP of Instruction) <\/em><\/p>\n Darcy reported the Student Success committee had met and discussed upcoming funding issues. They will attempt to meet at least twice a year.<\/p>\n Mark reported the Access Committee is scheduled to meet next week the week of January 13th<\/sup>. Five people have expressed interest in serving on the committee.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ACCJC REPORT ON STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES <\/strong><\/p>\n (Led by Victoria Jacobi) <\/em><\/p>\n Vicki shared with the committee the Status Report which was submitted to the ACCJC on Student Learning Outcomes implementation. The report advised the accrediting commission on Taft College\u2019s progress towards proficiency according to the Commission\u2019s rubric. ! copy of the Commission\u2019s<\/p>\n assessment addressing our progress was received in November 2013 (attached to official minutes.)<\/p>\n According to the feedback received from ACCJC our overall score was below the average for all colleges. Vicki was disappointed with the report, however, she feels we are doing what we should be doing as a college but are falling short providing evidence and documenting action.<\/p>\n Governance Council Meeting January 10, 2014 Page 2 of 3 <\/strong><\/p>\n According to !CCJC we should be at sustainability and their report indicated we aren\u2019t yet proficient. Dena, Vicki, Mark and Eric have been meeting on this topic and suggest that Vicki begin sharing the report with a variety of campus committees. The committees will be invited to develop<\/p>\n recommendations on how to strengthen the college\u2019s SLO sustainability efforts.<\/p>\n Dena feels we are on the right track. She recommends that once the committees have done their work, we bring the recommendations back to the Governance Council for review and dialogue. The final step is to share the ACCJC report and our recommendations\/action plan with the Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n INDUSTRY INTEREST IN OFF CAMPUS EDUCATIONAL FACILITY <\/strong><\/p>\n (Led by Dena Maloney) <\/em><\/p>\n A few years ago there was an interest from oil company representatives for us to look at a training facility in Alberta Canada due to a need of skilled workers in the state. Recently Dena was approached by an individual owner of an oil company in regards to the industry building and donating to TC a facility to do some of the more specialized programs that the industry needs.<\/p>\n Questions\/Comments:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dena will continue discussions with the interested parties and bring back information as she receives it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n AB86 ADULT EDUCATION CONSORTIUM PLANNING GRANT <\/strong><\/p>\n (Led by Dena Maloney) <\/em><\/p>\n The Governors\u2019 proposal is to move adult education from the high school to the community colleges. It morphed from $300 million fund to a $22 million to offer planning grants. Taft College will receive approximately $158,000 to work with the high schools to develop a program. If we don\u2019t take advantage of this opportunity, the neighboring community colleges can plan for us. We would have Taft Union High School and Maricopa High School as partners. March 2014 \u2013 June 2015 has been established as the planning period. We need to submit a one-page Certification of Eligibility Cover Sheet by the end of the month. By the end of February, we will need to submit an 8-page plan and budget.<\/p>\n Governance Council Meeting January 10, 2014 Page 3 of 3 <\/strong><\/p>\n Dena isn\u2019t sure who will be involved in the planning activity, but recommends this go to the Division Chairs and Student Services for feedback and recommendations for a group to serve on the plan development committee.<\/p>\n Facilitator: Bruce Ferguson Recorder: Brandi Cramer Timekeeper: Kanoe Bandy<\/p>\n Next Meeting: January 24, 2014 Meeting Adjourned: 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.<\/p>\n Respectfully submitted by:<\/p>\n Debbie Hegeman<\/p>\n 0014.01.10-ACCJC-Rep.on-College-Imple-of-SLO-Assessment1<\/a><\/p>\n 2014.02.28-Access-Committee-Proposal<\/a> 2014.01.10-GC.Minutes<\/a><\/p>\n 2014.01.10-Memo-reg.-Status-Report-on-SLO2<\/a><\/p>\n 2014.01.10-Updated-Prioritization-worksheet<\/a><\/p>\n 2014.01.10-ACCJC-Status-Report-on-SLOs1<\/a><\/p>\n 2014.01.10-ACCJC-Feedback-on-Status-Rep.-SLO-implementation1<\/a><\/p>\n 2014.01.10-AB86-Adult.Ed_.Reg_.Consortium-Key.points1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
