On May 17th Vice Chancellor Mary Lee and
probably Andy Dunn are coming out to visit in anticipation of the bond measure
passing. Dr. Spink would like a
subcommittee to meet with them. Those
named were: Nabeel Barakat, Sally
Fasteau, Jim Stanbery, Sam Sandt, Mark Wood and the three vice presidents. Mark White indicated he will get a student
representative. The meeting will be
held in the President's Conference Room.
People in District K are looking for another high
school site in the San Pedro area. Some
community people are not happy with the site they have selected downtown. They would just like to pursue the
possibility of a high school on our campus.
If they do lease the San Pedro space, they would like to look at Harbor
College for an international trade high school academy. If the bond measure passes, we could use
some of the parking lot area. About
1,500 students would be served at the trade academy.
Dr. Spink asked for a committee to be willing to
meet with them if this is a possibility.
Mrs. Hollis suggested that a longtime division chair be on the
committee. Ms. Ricci described an
academy of junior and senior high school students where she worked before at
CCSN. We should also look at the middle
college models used at LA Southwest and East LA. Dr. Oakes endorsed the idea.
We could also start a teacher preparation academy. There are concerns that need to be addressed
because of the current South Gate High School program and the previous Bell
High School problems that occurred. It
was agreed to form a committee if negotiations are to continue.
We have seven goals and several strategies for each
of the goals. We are working on
revising the mission. There was
consensus on the goals and strategies.
The vision and the mission will be discussed at the next PAC
Meeting. Some of the items on the KPI
form need to be defined, as they are not clear. No vote on this will take place until another format is brought
in.
Mr. Stanbery passed out a draft of the Senate's
comments. The Senate is having a
Special Senate Retreat next Monday at June Smith's home during the spring
recess. Their goal is to have a
recommended governance structure ready by April 26th.
Discussion took place on Version 4 of the
Participatory Governance Model. There was
a question on Page 2 as to whether the word “students” after governance
belonged in #2, “under the president shall reach mutual agreement with the
college academic senate on the following policies.”
The following changes were suggested:

Staff
Staff representation will be made by the “four”
classified groups together. However,
the contracts should be checked.

Administration
Appointments will be made jointly by the
