Trustee Rich Grosch reported on his attendance at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Parade and added that the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) was well represented at all of the events honoring Dr. King.

Trustee Bernie Rhinerson reported that he attended the San Diego MLK Educators’ Breakfast where Dr. Elliot Hirshman, president of San Diego State University and keynote speaker, gave an insightful and well-researched speech that speculated about the influence and strategies Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., would have if he were alive today. Trustee Rhinerson also reported that he will be attending the Community College League of California (CCLC) Legislative Conference in Sacramento in January, as well as the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) National Legislative Summit in Washington, D.C., in February.

Trustee Peter Zschiesche shared the latest issue of the ACCT Advisor, in which Trustee Rhinerson is featured on the cover as one of four new ACCT board members. Trustee Zschiesche congratulated him on his election and thanked him for representing the SDCCD in that capacity. He also reported on his attendance at an event held at City College, hosted by The San Diego Foundation Center for Civic Engagement, where the topic of reducing recidivism in the criminal justice system was discussed by California Community Colleges Board of Governors member Scott Budnick. Trustee Zschiesche also suggested the possibility of a partnership between City College and the City of San Diego’s Economic Development office.

Trustee Maria Nieto Senour congratulated Chancellor Carroll for being honored with the “Moving San Diego Forward” award by the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce at its 145th Anniversary Celebration. Trustee Senour also shared news that Senator Marty Block will not be seeking re-election to the Senate and requested that Chancellor Carroll develop a commendation for the Board to adopt that recognizes Senator Block’s accomplishments, especially his years of service and support for the San Diego Community College District and higher education in California.

Chancellor Constance Carroll reported on the Governor’s proposed budget, which was announced subsequent to the previous Board meeting. She indicated that the $122.6 billion state funding plan would provide $18.7 million as a direct allocation of increased funds to the District and potentially millions more via competitive grants and other allocations. The Chancellor said that all members of the Board of Trustees, several Presidents and other administrators, and the Student Trustees would be attending the CCLC Legislative Conference and meeting with legislators, January 30 through February 1, in Sacramento. Four funding priorities top the advocacy list: a Basic Allocation increase; a COLA increase; an increase in FTES growth; and full-time faculty positions. Dr. Carroll noted that the spring semester began on January 25. Enrollment in the first week is up about 1% and the District is on track to achieve its 3% growth target for the year. The Chancellor also commended Continuing Education and City College on the awards they received for their floats in the MLK parade: Continuing Education (first place, Education Category); City College (third place, Education, and second place, Floats Category).

Student Trustee Igor Burgos Maron reported that Miramar College was featured on the front page of the San Diego Union-Tribune for their participation in the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade.
