BOT Meeting 6.11.2015

NVC President’s Report

State Perspectives

Governor’s May Budget Revision

The Governor's revised budget proposal for the CA system, according to the

Chancellor of the California community colleges is the best he has seen in nearly 25

years in California. Over the coming weeks constituency groups and stakeholders of

the system will make their presentations and propose changes to the Chancellor's

budget which will be debated in the legislature. We don't expect significant changes

to the governor's proposal but the legislature will surely make some changes. Napa

Valley College is in alignment with the state Chancellor's system in our support of

restoration for categorical programs, increased support for adjunct faculty, improved

funding for adult education. The Chancellor has made it clear (and has reminded

CEOs in the system) that there are many in the public sector of education who

believe that community colleges are being treated "too well" and that some of the

proposition 98 resources should be transferred to other state priorities.

It should be noted that NVC has still not recovered the purchasing power we lost

during the recession, and as we have all understood here at the college during our

recent budget discussions there are significant financial headwinds facing both the

system and our college with the increasing costs of STRS and PERS.

UC Initiatives

The University of California made two important commitments in recent weeks

related to community colleges. First is a commitment to meeting an annual goal of

having one-third of their new admissions come from committee colleges. Although

the UC system has had this plan for some time, President Napolitano has made

clear her intention for the UCs to increase transfer enrollment. Second, the UC has

also committed to bringing online 20 new transfer pathways the most sought-after

majors over the next two years. These pathways will be built on our associate degree

for transfer programs with the California State University, in some cases adding a

course or two to the degrees and in some cases requiring fewer courses. These

developments are a major step forward and should result in increasingly smooth

transition for students between Napa Valley College and the UC system.

High-speed rail

The Chancellor's office shared they had recently participated in a briefing for state

educators and labor about the high-speed rail Authority (HSR). The briefing was

hosted by senior advisers to Gov. Brown and was organized to raise awareness of

HSR and to generate discussion among education and labor groups on how to

maximize the economic benefits of this project. According to the Chancellor, it was

clear from the briefing and the conversation that followed, that the implications of

this project for California community colleges – and perhaps for Napa Valley College

–are huge; beginning with the need to train thousands of individuals to assist in the

design and construction of the new infrastructure system. The Chancellor and the

board of governors has asked that those of us in the system who have high interest

or programs related to the project's workforce and those along the line itself want to

track this activity carefully. More can be found at www.HSR.ca.gov

Baccalaureate programs

The Chancellor's office also recently selected the final approval list for the pilot

program allowing community colleges to offer bachelor's degrees and vocational

fields. Solano community college was selected to offer a degree in biotechnology.

Under the law the 4-year degree programs must be up and running by the 2017-18

academic year. The legislation sunsets after the 2022-23 school year, after which the

legislature and governor may renew it.

College Updates

Planning

The Board is scheduled for a retreat for self-assessment and goal setting for July 23,

2015 at the Upper Valley Campus, St Helena. More information will be available

soon.

Leadership

The President's Office in collaboration with the administrative Senate, offered a

successful leadership training course on campus this semester. This initial pilot

program was designed as a “leadership academy” to assist managers and other

leaders at the college in sharpening their skills, developing a network of peer

managers, and interacting with experts in the field of management and leadership.

The inaugural group for this pilot included Christina Rivera, Jessica Millikan,

Mechele Manno and Ramon Salceda. Special thanks go to Ken Arnold who

coordinated and provided the important and essential logistics. The group was

outstanding, and a follow-up session for continued development of the program is

being completed. It is anticipated the second cohort will begin training Spring 2016.

Accreditation

At tonight's meeting the board will be asked to approve and certify the reaffirmation

of accreditation. Of course our accreditation is a critical part of the success and

mission building capacity of the college. I want to thank the college community at

large for their dedication, input, collaboration, and preparation of the materials for

inclusion in the report. I want to especially thank Dr. Robyn Wornall, Eric Shearer,

and the accreditation steering committee for their wonderful work. An important

part of the accreditation review process includes an opportunity for submission of

third party comments. Later during the accreditation report at tonight's meeting I'll

be presenting the language about how the college is creating an opportunity for

third-party comments related to our institutional compliance.

Bookstore

At a meeting late last month the college bookstore, operated by Barnes & Noble,

presented their year in review for 2015. I have included in the materials a two-page

review, but the overarching results were very positive for the year, with the

bookstore total sales posting 16% above the prior year’s revenue. This year's total

was $1,624 281.

California's high-speed rail program will do more than provide an efficient,

economical, environmentally-friendly and safe way to travel around the state.

Building and operating the high-speed rail system will directly employ

thousands of Californians while indirectly providing more job opportunities

throughout the larger economy.

CONSTRUCTION JOBS NOW

Construction on the high-speed rail initial operating section (lOS) started in 2014, and is putting

Californians to work, especially in the Central Valley. This area ofthe state recently faced challeng-

es to economic recovery, including an unemployment rate in the construction industry of over 30

percent. High-speed rail construction will create 20,000 construction j obs annually for the next five

years. These jobs will go to the people who need them most, providing a significant boost California's

economy as a whole.

TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITIES AS SYSTEM EXPANDS

As high-speed rail continues to expand service from the Bay Area to the los Angeles area, it will gen

erate an additional estimated 67,000 jobs annually for 15 years. Expansion will continue to create jobs

in the construction industry, but will also promote growth in several other sectors of the economy.

Permanent public and private sector employees will be responsible for operating and maintaining the

high-speed rail system. From train operators and maintenance yard workers to station managers and

operations planners, high-speed rail will create permanent California jobs that will always remain in

the state.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES . APR IL 2 0 15 A CALIFORNIA V H1gh·Speed Roil Authority

The lOS, once fully operational, will directly create an estimated 1,450 jobs. Most employees will work

aboard the trains and at stations, while many others will be located at the heavy maintenance facility

currently planned for the Central Valley. The full Phase 1 system will directly employ an estimated total

of 3,400 people.

INDIRECT JOB CREATION

The high-speed rail system will provide greatly improved connectivity between California's major

economic regions while reducing congestion in ports, on freight lines and along our highway system.

As a result, the Golden State's economy will become more efficient and competitive as goods move

more freely and less time is wasted in cars and at airports. The increased economic activity associated

with the development and implementation of the high-speed rail system could indirectly generate up

to an additional400,000 long-term, permanent jobs statewide.

CREATING JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR DISADVANTAGED WORKERS

The Authority has taken steps to ensure that the jobs created by the high-speed rail program will

benefit disadvantaged populations through its Community Benefits Agreement. This agreement

along with ensuring 30 percent small business participation in the program, also contains a Targeted

Worker Program. This program ensures that 30 percent of all project work hours are performed

by National Targeted Workers and at least 10 percent of those work hours shall be performed by

Disadvantaged Workers.

A Targeted Workers is an individual whose primary place of residence is within an Economically

Disadvantaged Area or an Extremely Economically Disadvantaged Area in the United States, or a

Disadvantaged Worker.

A Disadvantaged Worker is an individual who, prior to commencing work on the high-speed rail

project, meets the income requirements of a Targeted Worker and faces at least one of the following

barriers to employment:

Being a veteran;

Being a custodial single parent;

Receiving public assistance;

Lacking aGED or high school diploma;

Having a criminal record or other involvement with the criminal justice system;

Suffering from chronic unemployment;

Emancipated from the foster care system;

Being homeless; or
