BOARD REPORT JULY 19, 2018 SPECIAL REPORT TO THE PUBLIC Trustee Mary Graham, Peter Zschiesche, and Maria Nieto Senour reported on their participation in the San Diego Pride Parade, at which the District was well-represented and well-received. Trustee Rich Grosch reported that he, along with Vice Chancellor of Student Services Lynn Neault, attended an event at Petco Park where scholarships were offered to student-athletes who have overcome drug problems and suggested that the District collaborate with the San Diego Sports Association to inform students about scholarship opportunities with the SDCCD. Trustee Bernie Rhinerson reported that he attended an Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) Board retreat in Seattle, Washington, where preparations were being made for the ACCT Leadership Congress which will be held in New York in October. He specifically referenced a new honor for students that he hopes to see included among other ACCT annual awards, as well as his efforts to strengthen the ACCT’s support of the community college baccalaureate. Trustee Peter Zschiesche commented on the fact that the University of California (UC) System has accepted more transfer students for the coming academic year, which he credits to increased political support at the state level. He also reported that he attended the Census 2020 Regional Convening at the Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation and emphasized the importance for people, especially immigrants, to participate in the census to ensure an accurate count, as this determines how congressional seats are apportioned and how state and federal dollars are distributed. Trustee Maria Nieto Senour said that she participated in the Student Trustees Orientation, the Proposition S and N Citizens’ Oversight Committee meeting, the Management Association luncheon, and the San Diego Promise press conference recently held at Mesa College. Chancellor Constance Carroll provided information about the new state funding formula for community colleges, which includes three basic budget allocation factors: 1) FTES Enrollment/ Apportionment; 2) Supplemental Allocation for specific economic factors; and 3) Student Success (metrics) Allocation. Dr. Carroll noted that the details of the final allocation are still being sorted out. However, the San Diego Community College District fares better under the latest iteration and is slated to receive a 6.78% increase for $16,869,282 in new revenue. The Chancellor also noted that the baccalaureate extension bill, SB 1406, is scheduled to be heard at the Assembly Appropriations Committee meeting on August 8, which is the final step in the Assembly committee process. She is urging all supporters to convey their support to members of the committee. Last, Chancellor Carroll complimented City, Mesa, and Miramar colleges, the District Office, and College Police for the float and the more than 200 students and staff who marched with the SDCCD contingent in the San Diego Pride Parade. Student Trustee Susana Molina-Bibian reported that she and her fellow student trustees were honored to take part in the Pride Parade. She also reported that at City College the Associated Student Government (ASG) is participating in training in preparation for the fall semester. At Miramar College, the ASG is holding reusable bag drives. Both Miramar and Mesa are promoting and expanding their food pantries and farmers markets.
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.
