reported on various legislative issues that affect the College. She called the Board's
attention particularly to the following bills: AB 425 (Baldwin) would exempt us from the
Field Act; AB 521 (Lempert) would have an impact on our students and staff by providing an
electronic method of submitting applications for admissions; SB 836 (McPherson) would
allow the State Controller to automatically transfer funds to the State Schools Fund if
the local property tax revenue is less than had been anticipated; AB 1714 (Wildman) and SB
877 (Vasconcellos) would increase the number of full-time faculty members; and SB 1472
(Alpert) would allow transfer students who do not complete the general education transfer
curriculum to finish our transfer package, rather than being required to finish the
transfer package of the CSU or UC that they are entering, which often requires our
students to take additional courses.

statement: "Yesterday afternoon, as President of the CCE/AFT, I had to perform one of
my most difficult tasks to date. The CCE has filed Unfair Practice Charges against the
Palomar Community College District. The primary basis for these charges is a document
dated February 9, 1998, which was distributed by the District to all employees. This
document, which has been commonly referred to as the "green sheet," contained
information that pertained to negotiations between the CCE/AFT and the District. It is my
sincere hope that this unfortunate position that we find ourselves in will soon come to
pass. Thank you."
5. INFORMATION
Report of the Associated Student Government
There was no report.
6. INFORMATION
Report of Superintendent
Dr. Boggs reported that he had the pleasure of going to Sacramento
yesterday to see Barbara Schnelker receive her Hayward Award. It was a very nice occasion,
and she was a very deserving faculty member. He thanked the Faculty Senate for nominating
such a deserving candidate. Barbara was also recently included in the 1998 edition of Who's
Who Among America's Teachers. Only five percent of the nation's teachers are named to
this journal. Only high school and college students who have been cited for academic
excellence themselves in Who's Who Among American High School Students or the
National Dean's List are invited to nominate one teacher from their entire academic
experience. We are proud of Barbara.
At the last meeting, it was mentioned that the Learning Paradigm
video had won an award. The award was the "Best Video in the Instructional Category
for Large Institutions." It was given to us by the Community College Association for
Instruction and Technology, which is a subset of the Association for Educational
Communications and Technology. Lisa Faas from our ETV Department accepted the award at the
national conference in St. Louis.
Dr. Boggs reported that John Woods, Director of Athletics, is being
inducted into the Division 2 NCAA Wrestling Hall of Fame on Thursday in Pueblo, Colorado.
John was a wrestler for Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo, and he won the national title for
Division 2 in 1969. He was also the runner-up for Division 1 that year. John was a Coach
at Palomar prior to becoming Athletic Director. His record in coaching wrestling at
Palomar is 179 wins, 19 losses, and three ties, for a career record. Our teams have won
five state titles and John was selected four times as the national community college Coach
of the Year. We are proud of John.
One of our students, Eric Neitzel, has been named the 1997 Disabled
Athlete of the Year by the San Diego Hall of Champions. Eric is a 21-year-old Graphic
Communications student. In 1997, he was the first American finisher in the Wheelchair
Division of the Boston Marathon. He has won 23 wheelchair races in which he competed,
including the San Diego Marathon. He has been all over the world competing in races. We
are very proud of Eric for receiving this honor.
Dr. Boggs notified the Board that we have been informed by the State
that July 4, which is a Saturday this year, is not a holiday. July 3 is the official
holiday for the State this year. We had assumed that the fourth would be holiday when we
developed our calendar, so we will need to make up some time this summer. It has been
decided to add Saturday, June 20, at the start of summer session.
Dr. Boggs reported that he has a complimentary registration for the
ACCT Western Pacific Region Seminar, June 3-6, which will be held in Sun Valley, Idaho,
which he is unable to use. He asked that if a Board member would be interested in using
it.
The District and CCE/AFT had a mediation session scheduled for March
20, but that has been postponed at the request of CCE because their field rep has a
previously scheduled appointment for that day. The session will be rescheduled, probably
for mid-April.
Report of Other Organizations and/or Individuals
There were none.

M. ITEMS PENDING
N. COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS
Mr. Jensen welcomed Dr. Mitchell.
Ms. Hughes stated that she enjoyed the President's Associates
reception last week.
Dr. White welcomed Dr. Mitchell.
Dr. Dougherty reported that he had met with Diane Michael, Mark
Vernoy, and Bruce Bishop today to discuss plus/minus grading. The subject seems to be more
complex than he at first thought. Some students are nervous about how the possibility may
affect them. There seem to be many pros and cons to this subject.
Dr. Dougherty recently met with representatives from GEICO, who are
moving to Poway. Two of the reasons they want to be in Poway are the excellence of the
Poway Unified School District and the excellence of the Palomar Community College
District. They are aware that we are planning a Poway campus. They are very community
minded and interested in working with the College because we have so much to offer them.
He told them we could put on classes at their facility or ours in classes such as
computers, Spanish, etc. They seem like the kind of company that will be good for us. Dr.
Boggs noted that the groundbreaking ceremony for the new GEICO building is Wednesday,
March 18, at 10:30 a.m.
Mr. Scofield noted that plus/minus grading has its pluses and it has
its minuses.
