Approval of Notes –January 18, 2021 notes were approved with adding "DASG reported the Finance Committee was conducting budget deliberations".

DASG Report: Fiza reported DASG is considering a resolution to mandate online classes for the remainder of January. Students enrolled in Chemistry classes felt their participation in on-campus labs posed a COVID safety risk. DASG approved converting 1 out of 2 of senator office hours into replying to comments on social media. Budget has been finalized by DASG Finance Committee.

Program Review: Meeting attendees broke into groups to complete the update of Program Review Questions by section. Feedback from the breakout rooms indicated all had sufficient time to update questions. Streamlining of the questions was requested on behalf of the department chairs. Any data required for answering the questions should be accessible and prefilled if possible. After Program Reviews are submitted feedback should be given to each department. Due date for the Program Review will be in Spring quarter.

Strong Workforce Program and Perkin’s Funds Updates: Deans have updated their resource request lists removing requests for facilities and personnel cost since these cannot be funded by Enhanced Lottery and Instructional Equipment funds. Randy presented summary of Round 6 Strong Workforce Program funds to be allocated to divisions. He also showed the allocations broken down both by department and by local versus regional funds. These budgets were presented to CTE programs at the CTE Quarterly Meeting. Eighteen of the twenty-three CTE programs were represented. Unanimously they voted to approve the budgets. Randy commented that there is a long-range desire is to move one Nursing position out of CTE per year to allow for more funds to individual departments/divisions. SWP and Perkins timelines are not in sync. Thus, during Spring quarter the CTE Division will be asking for approval on the upcoming cycle of Perkins funds.

IPBT members were asked to take these budget allocations to their constituency groups. Vote to approve will be taken next week. There is a CTE Office Hour 1/26 from 1:00 – 2:00 pm. Questions and input are welcome.

Khoa shared the desire of his constituency to adopt processes when allocating resources that would base decisions on Program Review responses and not only on brief justification statements in the resource request spreadsheet.
