BOARD REPORT JUNE 7, 2018 SPECIAL REPORT TO THE PUBLIC Trustee Mary Graham commended the Academic Senates for their hard work this academic year. She also reported that she attended the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in American Higher Education held May 29 through June 2 in New Orleans, Louisiana, where she was pleased to see all of the District’s institutions were represented. Trustee Rich Grosch also praised the Academic Senates for their efforts. He stated that he, along with other Board members, participated in commencement ceremonies districtwide. He thanked those involved with coordinating such well-attended events. Following Tuesday’s primary election, Trustee Grosch also reflected on his 16 years of service on the Board of Trustees, as this will be his last year of service. Trustee Maria Nieto Senour reported that she attended the San Diego and Imperial Counties Community Colleges Association (SDICCCA) Board Alliance meeting and that her proposal to have SDICCCA sponsor a workshop featuring Linda Hardy, an expert on cultural competency, is moving forward.
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.
Chancellor Constance Carroll reported that at the state level the most important issue is the California budget. Even though community colleges are required to file their Tentative Budgets by June 15, there is still no resolution on what the state funding formula will be for community colleges. The funding formula is one of many items currently being addressed by the Budget Conference Committee and will probably need to be resolved by the “Big Three” (Governor, Senate President Pro Tempore, and Speaker of the Assembly).
