It was noted that the decision to have a meeting June 7, 2012 as recorded in the minutes did not occur due to the decision of the co-chairs.<\/p>\n It was also requested to include and list action items from the previous meeting\u2019s minutes on the new agenda.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Vision for Future Education and Facilities Master Plans <\/strong><\/p>\n (Led by Dena Maloney, Superintendent & Co-Chair) <\/em><\/p>\n Dena discussed the important link between the District\u2019s Facilities Master Plan and the Educational Master Plan and the importance of tying the two together. She stated tying the two plans together would help line-up the types of facilities and instructional space with the needs of the District\u2019s educational programs. The District needs to be evaluating future space needs regarding labs, classrooms, meeting space, and student and support services space to meet our future needs. Currently, Brock along with AP Architects and the Facilities Committee are addressing these needs and assisting in this process regarding Measure A funds. Dena stated the District needs a long term view and plan based on data and campus and community-wide input. The District also needs to evaluate current facilities and determine what is and isn\u2019t working for the needs of the District before moving forward with new plans. She suggested that a task-force be organized to work with the Facilities Committee to assist the District in plan for the future to meet educational and student needs. Below are members who volunteered to serve on the task-force along with Dena:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Governance Council <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n August 22, 2012 <\/strong><\/p>\n Page 2<\/p>\n Dena asked if there were other individuals interested on working on this project to please contact Brock McMurray.<\/p>\n Prioritized Goals from Last Year\u2019s Program Review Reports <\/strong><\/p>\n (Led by Eric B\u00e9rub\u00e9, Coordinator of Institutional Assessment, Research, & Planning) <\/em><\/p>\n Eric distributed a handout titled \u201cPrioritization Worksheet Fall 2012\u201d (copy attached to official minutes). In May 2012, goals requesting resources were ranked first by leads, then by Division Chairs, and finally by the Vice Presidents. The \u201cPrioritization Worksheet Fall 2012\u201d identifies the program goals by department and lists the goals in order of highest importance to lowest importance. Eric stated complete copies of program goals are also on the website for review. The Budget Committee has been given this list to review the associated costs and availability of funds for these goals. The Budget Committee will present their work back to the Governance Council.<\/p>\n Eric also distributed a recommended ranking scale to be utilized to rank the order of all submitted annual program goals. It was noted in a past Governance Council meeting held on November 18, 2012, the Governance Council accepted by consensus to use the Mt.

The process is in place and our progress is on-going. At the course-level, Vicki stated 81%of SLOs have been written and 66% have had assessments. Also, a total of 76 programs have SLOs. Vicki stated student and support services activities still need to develop SLOs. The District has identified five institutional outcomes.

There is still work to be done and on-going communication needs to be taking place at Division Chair meeting, in-service, and any other opportunities regarding the importance of SLO to the District as a whole. Continuing work is being done to involve adjunct in the SLO development process such as virtual training. Vicki is currently working on finalizing the report gathering documentation, evidence, and comprehensive reports which demonstrate accomplishment of SLOs and understanding of SLOs.

Each packet contained the following:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Eric stated the \u201cInstructions on How to Identify and Write Non-Instructional Program Effectiveness Measures\u201d is a new guide this year. Non-Instructional programs need to collect real data to which measures their program\u2019s effectiveness.
