Commissioner Susan Anderson MOVED TO APPROVE the motion, and Commissioner Clayton Christian SECONDED. During discussion, Commissioner Larry Tidemann asked for a correction to the minutes. He attended the videoconference in August and needs to be listed as an attendee; former Commissioner James Hansen did not attend. Chair Preus requested the correction to the minutes and asked for any additional discussion. Hearing none, she called for the vote. The motion was approved unanimously. INFORMATION ITEM Budget Update President Demarée Michelau reported the current WICHE audit is progressing well and is on target to be completed on time. The budget numbers presented during the August Executive Committee meeting are essentially the same and spending is on track. The WICHE Audit Committee will convene on October 13 to review the audit results with the audit firm RubinBrown. The Audit Committee will present the results of the audit to the WICHE Commission during the Fall Commission meeting on November 12, and the Commission will vote whether to approve the audit. President Michelau gave a dues update and noted she is satisfied with the current status of paid dues with 10 states fully paid to date. This time last year, 12 states had paid. There are plans to contact states that have not yet paid. Chair Preus asked for questions and discussion and there were none. Videoconference 1-3 INFORMATION ITEM Update on External Support for Key Initiatives President Michelau gave a status report on external funding. Staff continue to be diligent with efforts to secure continued funding for key initiatives. The Educational Credit Management Corp. (ECMC) Foundation invited WICHE to submit a proposal for $500,000 to support Interstate Passport. This grant work would include recruiting and enrolling 20 new member institutions. WICHE, in collaboration with New Mexico State University, is applying within the National Science Foundation’s IUSE: EHR, Institutional and Community Transformation, capacity-level track. If funded, the capacity-building work will test the feasibility of using sets of lower-division student learning outcomes (SLOs) as the basis of block transfer into engineering programs. WCET and the Policy Analysis and Research unit are coordinating an effort with the four regional compacts to develop regionally coordinated networks of state and institutional partners to scale up the usage of Open Educational Resources (OER) course materials that are openly licensed and accessible to students and faculty. The Hewlett Foundation extended an invitation to submit a full proposal for a potential grant awarding $1.2 million to further this OER work. Commissioner Anderson asked if the minority-serving institutions (MSIs) have been identified to be

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

  • Black Hills Bridges Therapeutic Foster Homes Take Shape
    2020 VOLUME 69 - ISSUE 1 Black Hills Bridges Therapeutic Foster Homes Take Shape The Black Hills Building Bridges of Hope and Healing capital campaign to build two therapeutic foster homes (one for six boys and one for six girls) and four double-occupancy independent living apartments is well underway. The first home, seen above, will be a home for girls. The home is scheduled to open during the summer of 2020. To date we have raised $2,213,687.03 of the $3 million campaign. We need to raise an additional $300,000 to begin construction on the second home. Foster Homes are Building Bridges for Meet Our New Board Changing Lives Boys in Mitchell Members Pg. 2 Pg. 3 Pg. 5 605-996-2486 www.abbotthouse.org A glimpse into an abused child’s mind Recently, the world has been awakened again to the reality of our vulnerability. The Coronavirus outbreak reminds us that we are not in control, and it has left many of us feeling anxious or even scared about our future. Although the facts and opinions seem to change daily, I think most would agree that we all have thought about loved ones, our investments and what tomorrow may bring. At Abbott House, we are helping children who have lived with this feeling of vulnerability for much of their lives. Not about this virus, but about their lives. You see, children who have lived through abuse, neglect, and other negative events understand this feeling of not being in control. Not knowing if you will eat today or who might end up at your house tonight are things some children have to deal with.
