Meeting Called to Order:

The meeting was called to order at 4:05 p.m.

  1. Review Minutes from September 8, 2020
  • The committee reviewed and approved the minutes from the September 8, 2020 ITC meeting as written.

2. Review Updated Committee Charter (From September meeting)

  • The committee continued the Charter update discussion from last meeting. There were some minor modifications made including correction to the High-Tech representation title: High Tech Access Specialist or designee. Leslie also suggested to list the VP Instruction membership to be listed as “VP Instruction or designee.”
  • There was a brief discussion for Balason to look into additional representation from various Student Services areas. At conclusion of discussion the decision was made for Balason not to proceed with bringing additional representation in order to keep committee membership to a minimum.
  • Xiaohong will reach out to ASO for student representation.
  • The committee approved the remaining Charter sections with no further modifications.
  •  Charter will be forwarded to Governance Council for approval.

     3. Committee Annual Review

     a. Establish goals for 2020-2021 (based on Committee Charter, aligned with ACCJC Standards and the Strategic Action Plan    [SAP])

     b. Complete the ITC Annual Committee Review Self-Evaluation form

  •  The committee discussed some of the goals they wanted to establish as they reviewed the Self-Evaluation form.
  •  Some of the of the discussion covered topics such as:
    • Meeting date when charter was last reviewed for 2019-2020: 9/20/2019
    •  Status of 2019-2020 Goals:
      • Data Security improvements: Data Security was discussed very briefly in 2019 and is continuously in progress. Eveland asked if there is any data that can be provided for review – per Gibson, no but data can be gathered if requested.
      •  Classroom Audio Visual improvements: AV improvements was discussed very briefly in 2019 with plans for more discussion in 2020-2021. Lack of funds has always been an issue for improvements and was also why this goal was not addressed in 2019-2020. Classroom AV improvements was moved last year to be included as part of infrastructure projects instead of a stand-alone project. Reynolds inquired why the goal for Classroom AV was moved to be part of Infrastructure improvements and per Gibson, no known reason.
      •  A discussion about funding sources began based on the comment regarding lack of funding being an issue for any improvements. There are little to no additional funding sources available for this year due to the current budget state, but there should be funds built into the General account, otherwise there will be trouble. Li commented there are some funds reserved however not sufficient for current project needs. Li also stated that the top five program goals are IT related and will be reviewed by Dr. Daniels. Eveland reiterated Li’s statement about Dr. Daniels making infrastructure a top priority.
      •  The Committee also discussed the Goals for 2020-2021 based on the charter and aligned with ACCJC Standards and the SAP. One goal discussed was improving data security as part of Cybersecurity improvements, aligning with #16 of the SAP. This goal is also part of the Technology Master Plan. IT staff is continuously making data security improvements without direction by the Committee. 
  1. Classroom Project Review
  • Li briefly spoke of the project review and indicated everything looks good. Li advised that if anyone has any further input to forward to her. 

The meeting concluded at 5:02 p.m.
