BOARD REPORT SEPTEMBER 27, 2018 SPECIAL REPORT TO THE PUBLIC Trustees Mary Graham, Rich Grosch, Bernie Rhinerson, Peter Zschiesche, and Maria Nieto Senour attended the San Diego Promise gala, which all agreed was excellent. Each of the Board members shared their compliments on the event and thanked those responsible for the event’s success. Trustee Mary Graham reported that she, along with Trustee Bernie Rhinerson, co-chaired the Board subcommittee for the evaluation of the Chancellor, which has completed its work. Both trustees complimented Chancellor Carroll on her effectiveness and leadership, particularly with the success of the San Diego Promise and Senate Bill 1406. Trustee Rich Grosch shared that he and Trustee Peter Zschiesche served on the subcommittee, which recently completed the Board’s self-evaluation and established the Board’s goals for the coming year, including a special focus on the state’s new Student Centered Funding Formula, the San Diego Promise, and expanding Open Educational Resources. He described his participation in a tour of City College’s A, D, and T buildings and reflected that the bond construction program is a continuing source of pride. Trustee Bernie Rhinerson reported that he also participated in the tour of the City College A, D, and T buildings and was impressed by how City College is meeting local workforce demand. Trustee Peter Zschiesche recounted that he attended a San Diego Foundation reception, is exploring opportunities for Continuing Education students who work to secure low-interest auto loans so they can meet their transportation needs, and thanked those who provided feedback for the recently completed Board of Trustees self-evaluation. Chancellor Constance Carroll reported that Governor Brown signed SB 1406 into law, thereby extending the community college baccalaureate pilot until 2026, allowing more students to attend and time for further programmatic development and information to be provided to the Legislative Analyst’s Office. The governor also signed SB 577, which allows for selected community college/university partnerships to provide teaching credentials. The Chancellor reported that the District’s San Diego Promise fundraising gala, headlined by actor and Mesa College alumna Annette Bening, was an enormous success, featuring Promise students and speakers, and netting over $203,000, which is more than 100% of the fundraising goal. Of particular note was the Mesa College/Mesa College Foundation check in the amount of $75,000, which was presented at the event. Dr. Carroll indicated that fall enrollment was somewhat less than the previous fall but on target with the goals set under the new statewide funding formula. Student Trustee Susana Molina-Bibian reported on various student activities, including that at City College, the Associated Student Government (ASG) is at full capacity and is developing programming to enhance student life and engagement, including voter registration. Mesa College held a successful homecoming game and tailgate event, and is planning for a leadership retreat in November. At Miramar College, the ASG is promoting club participation, hosting Latinx Heritage Month events, and the college will host a free farmers market on October 10.
