2. Special Admission of K-12 Student

Ricardo Navarrette gave the history of the high school enrichment at SRJC and shared the concerns raised within the college about high school student enrollments. (The Spring '99 enrollment of high school students was near 2,400.)

Ed Buckley and Ricardo Navarrette have drafted specific ideas towards a solution of some of the present concerns. One idea is to adopt a uniform procedure for degree-applicable courses. A lively discussion followed among the EPCC members particularly addressing the possibility of creating more barriers for the students. The decision was made to continue this discussion at the next EPCC meeting.

3. GE Models Update

Kris Futrell shared the ongoing dialogue in the Academic Senate regarding the GE models. Model A was presented at the October 20th meeting and Model B will be introduced at the November 3rd meeting. Kris invited questions and comments from EPCC members.

EDUCATIONAL PLANNING & COORDINATING COUNCIL

Minutes of September 14, 2000

3:15 - 4:00 PM

Senate Chambers<DIR>

Attending:	Ed Buckley, Kris Futrell, Renee LoPilato, Warren Ruud, Stephanie Thompson, Janet McCulloch, Joan Scarborough, Rosemary Ward

1.	Introduction of members and new chair

New Chair Rosemary Ward, noting that she had not been on the Council before and is now chair, quoted Henry David Thoreau: "We sit as many risks as we run."

2.	Overview and discussion of history and function of EPCC

EPCC is the prime, multi-constituency council that addresses educational issues. Once the Educational Policy Council, it became the Educational Planning and Coordinating Council as the Academic Senate, under AB 1725, assumed primary responsibility for educational matters. Functioning as a forum and clearinghouse, EPCC works closely with the Academic Senate, Academic Affairs and Student Services to develop policies, procedures and guidelines affecting primarily the instructional and student services. In 1999-2000, for example, its agenda included the American Cultures requirement, the revised general education pattern, the strengthening of majors, uniform start times and the revised schedule template, KnowledgeWorks, the proposed "first day attendance" policy, P4E goal projections, the 1996 Self Study plans and mid-term report, educational technology, and reports of the LODE study and the Developmental Task Force. The future will see closer ties between EPCC and IPC as the college's planning process improves and as EPCC reviews the proposed Educational Master Plan.

3.	Agenda suggestions for 2000-01

A "brainstorm" session produced the following unexpurgated suggestions (in no particular order):<DIR>

Cr/NCr policy

Audit policy

Repeat code guidelines

Continuing education mission

Need for updating faculty re selected sections of Title 5

Implications of the new schedule template

Final examination policy and schedule

Budget process for academic programs

PEPs and planning

The upcoming accreditation self-study and visit (F 2002)

Developmental education and retention

Research and accountability issues

Educational Master Plan</DIR>

4.	Review of the plan for the Educational Master Plan

Kris Futrell reviewed the plans to date for developing the Educational Master Plan. Administrative responsibility for developing the plan falls to Academic Affairs, with EPCC being the primary college review body. The Master Plan eventually will go to IPC and then the Board. There was discussion regarding the function of the Master Plan and its relationship to the other planning in the district. This will be a continuing item on EPCC's agenda.
