9.0 INFORMATION REPORTS and Items for Future Board Consideration
9.1 TRUSTEE COMMENTS
Trustee Adrienne Grey said she had recently attended the CCLC’s Effective Trustee Workshop and the Legislative Conference. Both conferences were very informative. She particularly mentioned a discussion regarding that amount of federal financial aid that goes unused because students do not fill out the FAFSA forms, which are very complicated. Even though it takes considerable staff resources to assist students in completing the form, it is worth the time.
Trustee Chad Walsh provided an update on the Board’s Ad Hoc STEM Committee. The Committee, consisting of Trustees Walsh, Watanabe, and Owens, met with staff at Mission College. The topic of ‘2 + 2’ was discussed, including strategies for moving forward and steps to define demand for such a product. It will be a long process, but it can be done. Mr. Walsh indicated that there will be some costs involved in the areas of data gathering and research, but the team is very excited by the concept.
Board President Lucas adjourned the meeting at 8:05 p.m.
