Eric gave a Scorecard presentation. He went through the Scorecard data—what it looks like and how we compare to other schools. Most indicators on the Scorecard were slightly below average or we were in the average range on everything. He talked about perhaps using that as a benchmark for some of the things we do here at Taft College.
There are two proposed grants—one Career Pathway Grant Opportunities, a $6 million grant that we’re proceeding with and due on March 31st. There is another $600,000 grant in combination with the Kern Community College District and then we’re doing something with Taft Union High School and Maricopa High School regarding STEM focused activities to try to get a pipeline of students from the lower grades into college in the STEM field.
Tony talked about the Governance Council Retreat. Members were asked for suggested themes for the retreat and were also given the option of emailing Debbie Hegeman with suggestions if they thought of something after the meeting.
