1. Partnership For Excellence: Draft Local Targets Report: A full ranging discussion was held on the working draft of the Partnership For Excellence Local Targets Report which is due to the Chancellor's Office by November 19th.

The component administrators, Baba Adam, and Marty Lee, have been working on this draft report, which is in response to the Chancellor's August 31st directive. It is clear from the Chancellor's assumptions and guidelines that the Partnership For Excellence performance goals will form the basis for system and individual college accountability.

The following represents the assumptions and guidelines that were driven by State guidelines which the component administrators utilized:

1. Assumption of real sustained FTES growth (3 1/2%) in instructional programs at SRJC.

2. Acceptance of the Chancellor's local target numbers for SRJC. Additionally, the Chancellor assumes the colleges will grow at a three and one-half percent increase (3 1/2%) per year and that a COLA will be received each year..

3. That Partnership For Excellence activities will be fully funded for a three year period (i.e. $100 million for each of three years) and then folded into the district revenue base annually thereafter.

4. Cooperation from local high schools in respect to several action strategies.

5. Cooperation from transfer institutions. This assumes both CSU and UC will have the capacity and will accept SRJC transfer students at an acceptable rate in line with our tentative goal.

If one or more of the above do not occur, the accomplishment of the performance goals may be impeded, both locally and systemwide.

Ricardo Navarrette reviewed Performance Goal Targets #1 (Transfer)/Transfer Prepared) and #2 (Degrees & Certificates). IPC members asked a number of clarifying questions as to the College's rationale and speed of target attainment. As in Goals #3-5, the College has chosen a conservative approach given the difficulty of predicting the future (funding, economy, enrollment, transfer institution cooperation, etc).

Ed Buckley reviewed Performance Goal Targets #3 (Successful Course Completions), #4 (Workforce Development) and #5 (Basic Skills Improvement). Again a number of clarifying questions were raised regarding the College's attainment strategies. Considerable dialogue ensued. Members with further questions were encouraged to contact the component administrators directly.

It was stressed that the information presented to IPC was an internal working document from which State forms on Partnership For Excellence must be completed. This information was to provide IPC and the College community with internal benchmarks and documentation for reference and future planning purposes.

It was agreed the component administrators would provide a copy of the final November 19th report to the Institutional Planning Council as it is submitted to the Chancellor's Office.

2. 2000/2001 Institutional Goals Development: After a brief discussion, it was decided to appoint a sub-committee (Deborah Sweitzer, Joe Friedman, Alex Drake and Genevieve Taylor) to meet and come back with recommendations prior to the November 8th meeting. Curt will have Christine Nora coordinate the meeting.
