2 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DECEMBER 12, INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS 6. CALL FOR REQUESTS FROM THE AUDIENCE TO SPEAK TO ANY ITEM ON THE AGENDA 7.1 FACULTY ASSOCIATION REPORT Dr. Treadway noted that Cassandra Ryan is the newly elected president of the governing board for the Shasta Union High School District. Mr. Thompson asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak to any item on the agenda. There was no response. Nick Rogers wished the Board a Merry Christmas. He said that they are finishing another fiscal year and noted that the tradition continued with yet another great Board. Mr. Rogers said that the faculty association position of President is a great deal of work, but that it was interesting. He said that he understood that the Board is considering Don Spellman as interim President for a few months. Mr. Rogers noted that Dr. Spellman is a good administrator and a really good choice. 7.2 ACADEMIC SENATE REPORT Cathy Anderson, Academic Senate President, said that the Board has a policy about granting retreat rights to administrators. The Senate has been working on tightening up the procedures. They will be recommending a new procedure on retreat rights. Ms. Anderson said they will insist that all administrators be interviewed as if they are applying for a teaching job. They have to be a candidate that the Senate would normally recommend to the president as a teaching candidate. Mr. Lucas asked what was meant that every person hired would have to be interviewed as if applying for a teaching assignment. Cathy Anderson stated that it is an administrator s option to request retreat rights. Mr. Lucas asked if they could request the rights at a later date. Pat Demo explained that they may request retreat rights within six months of being hired. Mr. Lucas said that they might be a great administrator, but not be a good instructor. Dr. Treadway stated that there are situations where the decisions could be in tandem if they were coming here with

3 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DECEMBER 12, ACADEMIC SENATE REPORT (Continued) tenure. Sometimes people have jettisoned a great deal of academic security in coming to an administrative position. Mr. Lucas clarified saying that they can ask right when they are hired or in 6 months. Nick Rogers said he was on the committee that made the recommendation. Mr. W.G. Garland has retreat rights. He is presently teaching a class. It has to be a certificated administrator, not classified, to apply for retreat rights. Classified administrators are not faculty but instead supervisory. Dr. Treadway said that it is the contract as an administrator that grants them those rights. The Board relies primarily upon the advice of the Senate about granting the retreat rights to the administrator. They already have to have a master s degree or doctorate. Mr. Lucas asked if the administrator must apply to the Senate to approve the retreat rights. Dr. Treadway said that the administrator goes to the Senate to request retreat rights. Mr. Lucas noted that it sounds like there can be some pitfalls and recommended that newly hired or about-to-be hired administrators be apprised of this. Cathy Anderson said that there are pitfalls in the Board policy, but that they will bring changes to the Board. 7.3 CLASSIFIED EMPLOY- EES ASSOCIATION 7.4 ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY REPORT Sue Brix, CSEA Chapter President, wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a great New Year. Janine Wallan, ASB President, reported that there were 150 participants in the giving tree and there were 120 secret Santas. The ASB only had to buy around 30 gifts. Usually the ASB has to take money out of its account to purchase these gifts, but this year, because of donations, they didn t have to use any of the ASB money. ASB discussed the ASB/Trustee position but they have not reached a decision yet. Ms. Wallan noted that this was discussed at the Board retreat and then taken to the ASB meeting.

4 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DECEMBER 12, SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT REPORT Dr. Treadway said that there are four new faculty appointments. These four individuals are of the highest quality in terms of searches. Dr. Treadway announced the hires as: Charles Cort, Dental Hygiene; Perry Gee, Associate Degree Nursing; Lorraine Haas, Early Childhood Edu- cation; and Andres Schloss, Electronics/Computer. He noted that these were stellar searches and he is very pleased. There is one more hire in engineering but it is not ready for the Board tonight. Ten faculty positions will be advertised for Three are new positions and seven are replacements. The three new positions are predicated on growth funding and PFE funding. These new positions include Anthropology, Women s Volleyball Head Coach/PE faculty, and Men s Basketball Head Coach/PE faculty. The seven replacement positions are: Business, English-Red Bluff, Environmental Technology, Fire Technology/Fire Chief, Math-Red Bluff, Natural Resources, and Psychology. Listings will indicate that the hirings are contingent upon budget resources. Dr. Treadway thanked Cathy Anderson and the Deans for working through this process. Dr. Treadway stated that he submitted his annual article to the Shasta Business Journal. He believes that it is good to get the information out to the community. In this year s article, he focused on the economic recession, which is producing more community college students, in addition to population growth, and the dilemma of reduced state finances in face of this growth. In the 2001 Fall semester, enrollment was up 9% and the Spring semester enrollment may increase 10%. At the same time, the state universities are talking about an increase in tuition. Because of growth factors and then the drop in the state budget, we may be hard pressed to serve the students. We will emphasize early enrollment based on lower resources but higher demand. As was reported in the recent higher education study, Dr. Treadway said he also cited the trend of employers wanting more training delivered to their work sites and three out of five firms surveyed stressed on-the-job training as more critical than receiving new employees straight out of college. Our role in responding to shortages

5 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DECEMBER 12, SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT REPORT (Continued) of nurses and technical careers as well as the aging population and their needs were also cited in the article. Dr. Treadway asked Ellen Peres to give an update on several projects. Ellen Peres spoke on the architecture barriers, remodeled restrooms, handles and signage, and possible remaining funds. She mentioned that the work on the warehouse has begun and that the county wants a certificate stating that we are a state agency or we will have to have approvals done which are accompanied by fees. Ellen Peres said that according to the parking lot bids, we should be able to have the parking lot done by the first of the term. The architect is working with the staff on the design of the remodel for the Student Center, which is still on track to begin in the summer. We have the preliminary drawings for the Learning Research Center. The funding for the working drawings and construction will be on the November 2002 ballot. The PE remodel is in full force and should be finished in the spring. The bookstore proposal will be brought to the Board in January. Dr. Treadway stated that The McConnell Foundation released a study of higher education needs in the north state. The grant from CPEC has begun as a follow up so there can be specific plans made. President Treadway said he will meet with CPEC officials next week to tie everything together. This may be a good tie in to our bond as well. Dr. Treadway said the CEO Technology Conference provided prospects for Shasta College and the private sector. On October 27, we participated in the National Make a Difference Day, which was designated as an annual day of service across the nation. A canvas banner was created in honor and in concern for those affected by the September 11 terrorist acts. On November 6, Renee Snyder of our staff delivered the banner to the Corporation for National Service in Washington, D.C. Shasta College was in-

6 MEETING OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DECEMBER 12, SUPERINTENDENT/ PRESIDENT REPORT (Continued) formed that the newly appointed CEO of the Corporation for National Service has asked our consent to hang the banner in the entry of their offices in Washington, D.C. Yesterday afternoon at 3:40 p.m. the college held an evacuation drill to test our recent training and procedures for emergency crisis response. A command center was established in the Board Room, and within 10 minutes a safe, complete, and orderly evacuation was confirmed for all campus facilities. The drill was videotaped as a training resource, especially for part-time and evening faculty and staff. We continue to get advisories from our law enforcement liaisons and continue our vigilance for campus safety and security. After the first of the year, we will be implementing a mandatory and ongoing training program for all administrative staff and key support staff in first aid and CPR. While a common practice in many organizations, we have found that Shasta College did not have administrative procedures in place to ensure current training for the staff in a consistent and ongoing manner. 7.6 BOARD MEMBER REPORTS 8.1 INFORMATIVE REPORT - CENTER FOR FINE ARTS AND COMMUNICATION Mrs. Cheri Beck commented that the band concert was wonderful. She also noted that The McConnell Foundation meeting last week resulted in some interesting comments, which she is sure Dr. Treadway will address. Ron Johnson, Dean of the Center for Fine Arts and Communication, introduced Larry Grandy and Richard Fiske, Music Department faculty. Larry Grandy and Richard Fiske updated the Board on their music performance classes. Ron Johnson stated that Elizabeth Waterbury is in her third year at Shasta College. She had family commitments so she couldn t be at the Board meeting tonight. A brief video was shown regarding her program.
