On Tuesday, April 18, 2017, the governing boards of the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) and the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) held their fourth annual joint meeting at the Educational Cultural Complex (ECC) Performing Arts Theatre. Following the Call to Order at 5:00 p.m., SDCCD Trustees Maria Nieto Senour (president), Mary Graham, Rich Grosch, Bernie Rhinerson, Peter Zschiesche, and Chancellor Constance M. Carroll, and SDUSD Board of Education Members Richard Barrera (president), Kevin Beiser, John Lee Evans, Michael McQuary, Sharon Whitehurst-Payne, and Superintendent Cindy Marten began the public meeting. The meeting was conducted in the form of a workshop and was facilitated by Dr. Joseph Johnson, dean of the College of Education at San Diego State University.
Below are some of the highlights: • College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) Act Partnership Agreements (Dual Enrollment) o Concurrent Enrollment increased 26% in 2016-2017 to 2,807 students, including a 35% increase in concurrent enrollment in classes on the high school campuses (2,227) due to the College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) agreements. In addition, on average, approximately one-third of SDUSD graduates enroll annually at City, Mesa or Miramar colleges within one year following their high school graduation. o Placement Levels and Outcomes. Transfer placement levels saw a significant increase in 2015-16 largely due to the adoption of the Multiple Measures Assessment Project (MMAP), which is a statewide comprehensive evidence-based set of measures of student capacity in an English or math course using high school transcript data and standardized assessment results for placement. Data showed that MMAP led to overall increases in retention and success compared to students who only took the ACCUPLACER test.
The governing board of the San Diego Community College District is composed of 5 elected members and 1 student trustee position. The student trustee position is filled on a rotating basis.

o Pathway to Health Information Management Baccalaureate Degree. Kearny High School will identify 30-35 concurrently enrolled students as part of a CCAP agreement, who will select the Allied Health Pathway as their major area of emphasis. The cohort will satisfy prerequisites for the Health Information Technology associate degree and the four-year baccalaureate program. Mesa College will designate a number of admissions spaces for students in this pathway. • San Diego Promise Update. The 2017-2018 cohort includes 600 participants selected by San Diego Unified School District, six participants selected by the Monarch School, and 75 participants selected by San Diego Continuing Education who will begin in Fall 2017. 89% of students in this cohort are students of color, including 53% Latino, and 10.2% African-American. • Career Technical Education Update.
