BOARD REPORT JUNE 13, 2019 SPECIAL REPORT TO THE PUBLIC Trustee Sean Elo reported that he enjoyed attending the commencement ceremonies and other events celebrating District employees. He thanked those advocating for students along with Chancellor Constance Carroll whom he credited with leading and addressing these issues in an excellent manner. Trustee Mary Graham shared that she attended the commencements and other end-of-year events which were inspiring. She also attended the Summer Institute which was focused on student success and included participation by six local institutions. Trustee Craig Milgrim reported that the commencement ceremonies were moving. He also shared that he was impressed by the openness and transparency of the District’s budget process as well as efforts to minimize the impact of budget reductions on students. Trustee Bernie Rhinerson complimented the District on its budget communications and encouraged continued legislative advocacy. He shared his disappointment that the state budget has underfunded the Student Centered Funding Formula in spite of the fact that it was a legislative priority of the Community College League of California’s Advisory Committee on Legislation, which he chairs. He also reported today is International Albinism Awareness Day which emphasizes the importance of promoting education and celebrating the human rights of persons with albinism worldwide. Trustee Maria Nieto Senour reported that she attended the commencements and other celebrations which she described as important examples of how students and families take advantage of community college opportunities to transform their lives. Chancellor Constance Carroll reported that the Legislative Budget Conference Committee completed its work with mixed results for community colleges. While some items for which the SDCCD and other districts advocated were approved (e.g., deferred maintenance, instructional equipment, delaying further changes in the Student Centered Funding Formula, etc.), others were not (e.g., more full-time faculty positions and adjunct faculty support). The Chancellor has sent a message to all District faculty, administrators, staff, and governance leaders outlining the budget impact of these decisions for the SDCCD, and the developing plan for addressing the impact. Dr. Carroll also indicated that the new software system, Campus Solutions, is now “live” and processing summer session registration. In terms of summer enrollment, the good news is that the District is at 93% of the colleges’ target of 3,664 FTES; Continuing Education enrollment has a later start date and it is too soon to make a determination. Student Trustee Andrew Leal reported that there are no student government meetings over the summer but that planning is underway through the United Student Council.
