He believes that the state has adequate reserves and trust funds with the anticipation of another federal bailout. We received some relief from the governor in form of executive orders one was budget flexibility. He reported on the successful move to online instruction. He reported that communication has remained strong, which has aid in the online transition. Student feedback has also been positive. He updated the board on the nesting of Pine Crest Academy at the South Lake Campus. Thom Kieft is working with them and developing a partnership for their students to join the Health Science Collegiate Academy. We are still in discussion with Academia with placing a Charter School on the Leesburg Campus. They are still interested and the next step is to get a group together and outline an agreement. He also reported that incoming Senate President Simpson stated there is full intent for students to return to campus this fall. Claire Brady Dr. Brady reported that we have moved all off student services remotely and students are responding positively. Some of the remote services has allowed us an opportunity to try new things that otherwise we may not have done. We are launching an enrollment coaching model for the summer that will humanize the enrollment process. We have launched virtual lobbies developing a one stop shop to assist students by placing them with who they need to assist them. We have been processing and conferring degrees with the highest number this spring of 640 compared to 568 last year. We have scheduled spring commencement for July 29th in Leesburg and July 30th in South Lake. For the summer term we are down 1% but we are up by 4% in FTE. Currently, we are down about 2% in head count but up 3% in FTE for the fall term. We have had over 600 student students apply for the emergency funds. We also have loaner laptops to students and loaner mobile hotspots. We are offering townhalls for students to hear their concerns. We have been chosen as one of two colleges in the State of Florida to participate in the Hope Center student needs survey around Covid-19. We are waiting for the results of that data. We do have a robust plan for marketing for the fall. 4 Doug Wymer Dr. Wymer reported that the LSSC Workforce Team participated in the Tour Latino on February 23. This event is held in the Clermont area and attracts hundreds from the surrounding community for a cycling event as well as providing information on community resources. LSSC sponsored a booth and provided information about our workforce programs, admissions procedures, and scholarship opportunities. Sumter County School District and LSSC math faculty met on February 28 in Sumterville for the annual Joint Professional Development Day. The math faculty shared updated from their respective institutions and engaged in curriculum alignment activities. The HSCA has nearly completed admissions for the next four-year program cohort. Fifty students were accepted from East Ridge and Lake Minneola High Schools and 46 were accepted from South Lake High School for a total of 146 students. Accepted students were evaluated against the HSCA Admissions Rubric. Virtual parent/student sessions are ongoing before the school year
