Erica introduced Xavier Corona, the new ASG President for 1998-99, and Oscar Lopez, the new Executive Vice President for 1998-99.

Katrina Baughman reported that the election of ASG officers for the coming year was held recently and announced the names of those elected. Voter turnout increased by 48 percent over last year.

Tomorrow will be the last meeting of the ASG for the 1997-98 school year. ASG has worked hard this year and accomplished two of their main goals: approval of the student center and increased communication with the students at the satellite centers.

Erica thanked everyone for working with her. She stated that she enjoyed the year and learned a great deal. She wished good luck to the new ASG officers.

6. INFORMATION

Report of Superintendent

Dr. Boggs congratulated Xavier and Oscar on their election and also congratulated the new Senators. He thanked Erica for her good work this year representing the students and congratulated her on a very successful year for the students.

Dr. Boggs reported that he had just received an E-mail from Tom Nussbaum, our state Chancellor, regarding a press release stating that the Governor is going to make a major investment in education, including over $500 million over the Proposition 98 guarantee. That means we will receive an additional $69 million over the Governor’s January budget, $50 million of which would go into "Partnership for Excellence," making that a $100 million total, which is what the Chancellor had requested; $12.8 million would be for economic development. Dr. Boggs stated that this sounds like relatively good news, but we will have to wait and see.

Dr. Boggs congratulated Dr. Robert Barr on being selected to receive the Practitioners Award from the National Council for Research and Planning. He hopes to present this award to Bob at the June 12 Administrative Association retreat.

Joe Madrigal has been named to membership in the new consortium, U.S.-Mexico Collaborative Network of Borderlands Higher Education Institutions, which is funded by the Ford Foundation.

The Cabinet and Furniture Technology Program was recently selected by the Woodworking Machinery Industry Association Education Forum as a test pilot site because of the strong relationships between the program, local high schools, and the regional wood products industries. The Forum will promote careers in the wood industry. Dr. Boggs stated that we have a very strong program, which is deserving of this kind of recognition.

 

Dr. Boggs again recognized and congratulated the Palomar College nominees for the All-USA Academic Team, Jimmie Kahler and Karmi Minor-Flores.

The Student Art Exhibit is currently in the gallery and will be on display until Friday.

Commencement is Friday, May 22, 6 p.m. Board members were asked to meet in the Board Room at 5:30 p.m. We are hoping for good weather for this outdoor event.

As the Accreditation Commission, of which Dr. Boggs is a member, is going to be meeting June 7-10 in San Francisco, he will be unable to attend the June 9 Board meeting. He has asked Diane Michael to represent him at the Board meeting.
