BSI Planning for 2009-2010

I want to invite everyone a Palo Verde College to participate in planning for next year's activities for the basic skills grant.

Our funding is expected to continue at $100,000 for the academic year. Our 2008-2009 activities and expenditure expectations are as follows:

1. Develop and maintain highly coordinated schedule of classes resolving conflicts: Associated cost: $15,000 - additional responsibilities assigned to Lisa Holmes
2. Partial reassign for Louise - $15,000 (no additional salary or benefits replaces Title 5 grant portion of her salary).
3. Research costs billed to BSI $1,000
4. Retention and follow-up with Callista and part-time peer counselors $14,000
5. Counseling services 7 hours a week for Spring Street $12,500
6. Counseling and tutorial services for Needles - $15,000
7. Regional conferences and activities $3000
8. New curricula training and activities - Reading Apprentiship $8000
9. Insure Basic Skills clases not cancelled- partial funding for low enrollment Basic Skills Classes where minimum student not met $8000
10. Partial funding for writing lab where minimum enrollment not met $7500
11. Increased supplemental instruction in math, English and ESL $1000


Please comment on any of the items as well as additional needs that you forecast for 2009-2010.

Ooops! I forgot to include Basic Skills funding for mental health issues/services. Initially in 2008-2009 I hope to include training (Flex day) and a few hours on campus for a professional services for students. Because we still don't have an MOU signed (and its March), this year we will probably only have minimal expenditures of less than $3000. I think we should consider allocating $10,000 for this activity for 2009-10? What do you think>
