Madam Chair moved to approve the September 10, 2020 minutes. Motion was seconded by Dr. Melanie Kay-Wyatt.

Introduction of SGA President and Treasurer – Dr. Tiffany Ray

Dr. Tiffany Ray began by introducing two members of the Student Government Association (SGA): Ms. Lydia Burke, SGA President, and Ms. Katelynn Southworth, SGA Treasurer. She invited each of them to introduce themselves and to speak on their priorities for the association.

Ms. Lydia Burke mentioned that she’s in her third semester majoring in Business Administration. After graduating, her goal is to be employed by the police force and subsequently the CIA or FBI. She added that the SGA recently hosted activities to increase student engagement and ultimately encourage more involvement from the student body. Although hosting virtual activities is challenging, the activities hosted were successful.

Ms. Burke proposed partially opening the library, allowing students to have a quiet space to study, for those experiencing challenges studying at home, and revisited the possibility of having a basketball court at the Fredericksburg campus. She believes that having a basketball court provides an outlet for students to stay active while having fun with their classmates and friends. Meanwhile, the association is planning to provide more activities virtually until the college reopens. Ms. Burke thanked Dr. Ray for the opportunity to present to the Board.

Dr. Tiffany Ray invited Ms. Katelynn Southworth to introduce herself to the body.

Ms. Katelynn Southworth mentioned that she’s in her fourth semester majoring in General Studies. After graduating, she plans to transfer to VCU to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and subsequently her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy. Her main goal is becoming an Occupational Therapist who specializes in animal-assisted therapy.

Ms. Ann Tidball thanked Ms. Burke and Ms. Southworth for the introductions and invited Mr. Lydell Fortune to present the Academic Affairs Committee discussion/actions.

COMITTEEE DISCUSSION/ACTION

3. Academic Affairs/Workforce/Student Success

Mr. Lydell Fortune made a statement that there is a new curriculum as well as some 2

5

curriculum changes. The changes included a) A change to amend the wording for the new pre-calculus option for the Science AAS Degree Program precalculus requirement, allowing students who do not place directly into Math 167 or Math 263 to transfer credits from Math 161/162 to fulfill the pre-calculus requirement. b) A new curriculum – Advanced Accounting Career Studies Certificate, providing students with the accounting courses needed to meet the education requirements of the Board for Accountancy to sit for the CPA examination and c) Changes to ITN154, ITN155, ITN 156 and deletion of ITN 157. He mentioned that due to the recent changes made by the Cisco Networking Academy to update their program and align with changes in technology, there’s been a course reduction from four courses to three courses and to accommodate this requirement, ITN 157 will be discontinued.

Mr. Fortune also requested that the second reading be waived due to the immediacy of the request. Chair Ann Tidball moved that the Board adopt the recommendations from the staff regarding these changes.

Motion carried.

Dr. Janet Gullickson asked Dr. Tiffany Ray to provide an update for enrollment.

Dr. Ray was pleased to announce that enrollment numbers have increased and stated that enrollment was up by 28% at the end of Summer . She attributed the increase to students that enrolled in dual enrollment classes and students from four-year institutions who are taking advantage of lower tuition costs.

Chair Tidball invited Ms. Laurie Bourne to present on The Great Colleges to Work For survey results.

3. Executive/Human Resources

Ms. Bourne began with discussing the survey results. She compared the response rates from 2016 and mentioned that this year’s results were mostly positive. Ms. Bourne added that this year’s results also identified areas for improvement in the categories of communication, fairness, respect and appreciation. She added that movement towards improving these goals will be accomplished, as updates to incorporate these areas of concern are aligned with Germanna’s overall goals of being one of the best colleges to work for by 2022.

Ms. Tidball invited Dr. Gullickson to present on the Legislative update

Dr. Janet Gullickson began with a statement that bonuses may be a possibility if the revenue forecast meets projections for FY21. She added that there are other funds that are available such as monies for the FastForward program and the REV program, made specifically to help underemployed and unemployed individuals receive the training needed to get back to work.

Ms. Tidball invited Mr. Davis to provide an update on Give Day.

Mr. Bruce Davis began by thanking the Board for their support during Give Day. He was pleased to 3

6

announce that the funds raised on Give Day exceeded the $300,000 goal, totaling over $500,00 with donations ongoing. Mr. Davis discussed how the money will be spent and expressed gratitude for the impact that Germanna is making in the community by being able to provide for students in need.

Chair Tidball invited Dr. Victor Gehman to present on Finance/Facilities.

4. Finance/Facilities

Dr. Victor Gehman moved to approve the local financials through October 31st, 2020 and the localities funding request.

Motion was carried.

Dr. Gullickson encouraged everyone to reach out to members of their constituents and to locality leadership to approve Germanna’s locality request by sending emails detailing the needs of the college.

Dr. Gehman also mentioned that the committee is requesting the Virginia Community College System Board’s permission to apply for easements at the Daniel Technology Center. Mr. Garland Fenwick further explained that previously, fiber optic lines were going to be installed onto the buildings of the Culpeper, FAC and DTC locations however, the installation can be completed using a less invasive method which minimizes interference. Therefore, easements are needed to accomplish the task.

Dr. Gullickson invited Dr. John Davis to present on the naming situations for all the properties.

Dr. Davis spoke on the actions taken due to the Black Lives Matter movement that resulted in VCCS requesting all institutions research the names of their building and rooms to provide any recommended changes if historical issues were found. Dr. Davis requested that the Board accepted the findings of historical research presented. This research indicated that, with the pending destruction of the Locust Grove facility, no other issues require remedy.

Mr. William Thomas recommended additions to the D. French Slaughter, Jr. building name findings. The additions include listing Mr. French Slaughter as one of the fathers of Virginia Community College Systems, a Purple Heart recipient and a World War II veteran.

Chair Tidball moved to accept the findings of the committee that reviewed the building and room names providing that the recommended change is added.

Motion carried.

5. President’s Report, Dr. Janet Gullickson

Dr. Janet Gullickson started by making a statement that Germanna was recognized in an essay written recently by the President of the Federal Reserve Branch of Richmond. She praised Cabinet and mentioned that she’s proud that Germanna is getting that kind of recognition.

Dr. Gullickson also added that she recently presented to site locators event hosted by the 4

7

Fredericksburg Regional Alliance and some of the site locators mentioned that what is taking place at Germanna is not happening anywhere else in the country. Germanna’s work on racial equity was also recognized and it was mentioned that they believe more businesses are going to pay attention to the work that’s being done to address racial equity.

Dr. Gullickson spoke about the Community First Scholarships that are available for specific workforce programs. The scholarship was designed for students to learn a specific skill set who will ultimately obtain a training certificate or degree. She encouraged everyone to visit the website for additional information.

Dr. Gullickson also spoke about the Dr. Frank and Nancy Turnage Health Sciences Building. Although disappointed that the funds were not included in the 2020 state budget, she’s staying optimistic. She encouraged everyone to reach out to their legislators to ensure that the funding request for the building is on their expenditure list for capital this legislative session and to remind everyone of the decision made at the last legislative which consequently excluded Germanna’s request.

Dr. Gullickson concluded her report by reminding the Board to read her weekly thoughts email detailing additional information and initiatives that take place at the college. She also encouraged the Board members whose terms expire next year to submit recommendations for replacements considering the need for diversity representation. She added that Ms. Pendleton can also solicit recommendations from each of the board of supervisors or city council members to help fill the upcoming vacancies.

6. Other Business

Dr. Gullickson mentioned that it was a pleasure attending the Veterans Day event at the college and, despite inclement weather, the event was successful. She added that they were able to deliver pizzas and pay respect to Vets and their service.

Dr. Ray praised Mr. Lynell Fortune for his work advocating for racial justice in Caroline County. She encouraged everyone to donate to assist with student needs and suggested donations be made specifically for cold weather items, hygiene products and food for the drive-thru option at the Fredericksburg campus. Pick up for donations can also be arranged at other campuses.

Mr. Lydell Fortune thanked Dr. Davis and Mr. Garland Fenwick for facilitating the tour of the Caroline County location for the Board of Supervisors and the School Board. He added that the boards will be collaborating in strategic ways to better use the facility that will benefit the county and future Germanna students.

Hi everyone,

Attached you will find five Curriculum Change Request forms for your review and email approval. They involve adding BUS 226, Computer Business Applications as an option for students to take addition to ITE 115 for Business Admin, Business Management, the Entrepreneurship CSC and the Supervision CSC In addition, a change request is to add it to the transfer list for Germanna.

BUS 226, Computer Business Applications is in the VCCS master course catalog and was added to the Germanna Community College catalog on November 22, 2019. This course provides a practical application of software packages, including spreadsheets, word processing, database management and presentation graphics. This includes the use of programs in accounting techniques, word processing and management science application. It is currently being taught by myself this semester. Local businesses have requested that our students not only understand how to prepare spreadsheets, word documents, presentations and manage data, but to do it within a business context.

I verified the transferability with BUS 226 and it transfers to many colleges in Virginia. Several of them include: University of Mary Washington/MIST201, Virginia Tech/Elective, Old Dorninion/BUSN135, Radford University/lTECl00 and Liberty/IN FT 110.

Will you please respond to this email with your approval or disapproval for each of the following Curriculum Change Requests:

1. Add BUS 226, Computer Business Applications to the Germanna Community College transfer list 2.

Proposed by: Harry Schoeller

Effective year: ☒ Fall 2021 ☐ Spring Choose an item. ☐ Immediate

Proposal title: Add Engineering A.S. – 5 Specializations

Date: 11/9/2020

1. PROPOSED CHANGE - select from these categories, click on the appropriate box and attach required documents according to the Curriculum Committee Procedures:

☐ New Course

 New Curriculum

☐ Changes to Existing Curriculum

☐ Add to the Transfer List

☐Add/Change Prerequisites

☐ Delete Course

☐ Other/Informational Item

☐ Credit for Prior Learning (AP and CLEP)

RATIONALE

The Engineering A.S. with 5 specializations expands the number of offerings and adds flexibility to the current engineering program. It prepares students for transfer to the following baccalaureate degree programs: Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical, Biological, Biomedical and others. Additional specializations can be added to the program as warranted. J Sargent Reynolds Community College has a similar “specialization” engineering program.

2. IMPACT of PROPOSED CHANGE ON (Please describe if there is an impact)

CURRICULUM: The current engineering program which has two separate degrees: Engineering A.S. Mechanical Concentration, Engineering A.S. Electrical Concentration, will be replaced with the Engineering A.S. with 5 specializations. INSTRUCTIONAL LOAD: We do not expect many of the new tracks to impact instructional load at first. Current engineering offerings should be able to absorb a small increase in enrollment. MTH 266 will be impacted. It is an elective or required course in every track. Low impact to chemistry and biology courses added to the program. SCHEDULING: MTH 266 will be impacted.

Curriculum Committee—Revised 4/15/16 78 Page 1

TRANSFERABILITY: Students who complete the program will likely attain junior status at the following transfer institutions VT, VCU, UVA, GMU, JMU, ODU depending on degree and specialization. ACCREDITATION IMPACT: none

PROPOSED CHANGE - select from these categories and attach required documents according to the Curriculum Committee Procedures: o New Course o New Curriculum X Changes to Existing Curriculum o Add to the Transfer List o Add/Change Prerequisites o Other/Informational Item o Credit for Prior Learning (AP and CLEP)

RATIONALE

Human Growth and Development (EDU 207) is a course in the VCCS master course file.

It is proposed that EDU 207 - Human Growth and Development be added to the education programs both Education AA&S and Education AA&S (K8- Specialization) with the option for students to choose between EDU 207 and PSY 230 depending on their transfer pathway.

The education department at GCC has partnered with several public-school systems to offer credit for the Teachers for Tomorrow high school program in an effort to circumvent the teacher shortage in our state and to encourage students to stay and teach in their local communities. It was proposed that EDU 200 and EDU 207 be offered for dual enrollment credit to align with the Teachers for Tomorrow program. This partnership will enable high school students seeking to enter the teaching field to seamlessly gain credits that are transferable to both GCC and UMW as well as other colleges.

Course Description: Provides an overview of the physical, intellectual, cognitive, language, social, and emotional development of human beings from birth to adolescence. Emphasizes how hereditary and environmental influences impact the development of the whole child. Lecture 3 hours. Total 3 hours per week.

General Course Purpose: The purpose of this course is to provide K-12 classroom teachers with knowledge and understanding of theories of human development, including genetic and environmental influences. Students will learn to create classroom environments by analyzing various developmental stages, including sensory, cognitive, language and social stages.

Curriculum Committee—Revised 9/5/19 95 Page 1 Dual Enrollment Partnership - Teachers for Tomorrow: A partnership was formed with the local school systems to provide credits for the Teachers for Tomorrow program being implemented in public schools to help circumvent the teacher shortage and encourage students to enter the teaching field and stay in their local communities. We worked with UMW faculty and created a teacher preparation pathway for dual enrollment students to attend Teachers for Tomorrow in high school and move forward to GCC and UMW. Credit will be given for EDU 200 and EDU 207. This partnership has been formed with Stafford county schools and an MOU been finalized. We are also working with other school systems such as – Spotsylvania, Culpeper, Orange, Madison and Caroline to form similar dual enrollment partnerships with the same pathway.

Co-enrollment UMW We are expanding the education program to include co-enrollment options in primary and secondary education with UMW. EDU 207 is a core course for UMWs new four-year degree in elementary education and for secondary education. This course will transfer to both options at UMW.

Hello Everyone, I am submitting documents to the Curriculum Committee for a new course to be added to the education programs at GCC. The course is already on the VCCS master course list. The course is EDU 207 – Human Growth and Development. We have worked in partnership with local school systems and UMW to offer EDU 207 for dual enrollment credit along with EDU 200 for the Teachers for Tomorrow program being implemented in the public-school systems to circumvent the teacher shortage and encourage students to remain in their local communities. This is an incredible new pathway for our DE students into the teaching field and offers them exposure to our education programs while in high school. This course will also benefit students already in the education programs as it is a good foundation course in development across the lifespan specifically infancy to adolescence. The content is critical for students to understand when doing child observations, lesson plans and practicum experiences. We are currently working on co-enrollment options with UMW and this course will be a transfer course to UMW as one of their core courses in both their elementary and secondary education programs. It will also transfer to other universities, as well. I have attached change forms to add the course to the education programs noting students can choose to take either PSY 230 (Developmental PSY) or EDU 207 (Human Growth and Dev.) depending on their pathway. I have also attached change forms to add this course to the transfer list and catalog. Please consider reviewing these documents and signing the attached forms by sending me an email with your approval so I can submit these documents to the Curriculum Committee in November. We hope to offer this course in spring 2021. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you for your time and consideration.

This course will also benefit students already in the education programs as it is a good foundation course in development across the lifespan specifically infancy to adolescence. The content is critical for students to understand when doing child observations, lesson plans and practicum experiences. We are currently working on co-enrollment options with UMW and this course will be a transfer course to UMW as one of their core courses in both their elementary and secondary education programs. It will also transfer to other universities, as well. I have attached change forms to add the course to the education programs noting students can choose to take either PSY 230 (Developmental PSY) or EDU 207 (Human Growth and Dev.) depending on their pathway. I have also attached change forms to add this course to the transfer list and catalog. Please consider reviewing these documents and signing the attached forms by sending me an email with your approval so I can submit these documents to the Curriculum Committee in November. We hope to offer this course in spring 2021. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello Everyone,

I am submitting documents to the Curriculum Committee for a new course to be added to the education programs at GCC. The course is already on the VCCS master course list.

116 The course is EDU 207 – Human Growth and Development. We have worked in partnership with local school systems and UMW to offer EDU 207 for dual enrollment credit along with EDU 200 for the Teachers for Tomorrow program being implemented in the public-school systems to circumvent the teacher shortage and encourage students to remain in their local communities.

This is an incredible new pathway for our DE students into the teaching field and offers them exposure to our education programs while in high school.

This course will also benefit students already in the education programs as it is a good foundation course in development across the lifespan specifically infancy to adolescence. The content is critical for students to understand when doing child observations, lesson plans and practicum experiences.

We are currently working on co-enrollment options with UMW and this course will be a transfer course to UMW as one of their core courses in both their elementary and secondary education programs. It will also transfer to other universities, as well.

I have attached change forms to add the course to the education programs noting students can choose to take either PSY 230 (Developmental PSY) or EDU 207 (Human Growth and Dev.) depending on their pathway. I have also attached change forms to add this course to the transfer list and catalog.

Virginia Community College System 2021 General Assembly Planning and Preliminary Approval of Priorities

I. BACKGROUND

The top priority for the VCCS in Special Session I was maintaining the current FY 2021 funding level in order to avoid tuition increases for all VCCS students. The budget adopted on October 16 was positive, with the current funding level maintained and with an additional $2 million for Fast Forward workforce credentials in partnership with the VA Ready program, and $15 million for affordable access to support operations, enhance financial aid, or for other programs to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

II. 2021 GENERAL ASSEMBLY PRIORITIES

Overarching Priority

Fully Fund G3 (Get Skilled, Get a Job, Give Back)

The Governor’s budget introduced in December 2019 for the 2020-2022 biennium recommended $72.5 million in FY 2021 and $72.5 million in FY 2022 to launch the G3 program. The amount included in the budget conference report approved in March 2020, and subsequently un-allotted because of the anticipated revenue shortfall related to COVID-19 in May 2020 was $ 34.5 million per year. Eligibility criteria and other conditions contained in the March 2020 biennial budget for G3 are listed in Appendix A.

Governor Northam provided an initial allocation of $4.9 million to the VCCS in June 2020 as part of the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) allocation that Virginia received under the CARES Act; $3.6 million was set aside to launch G3.

New: Legislative Priorities from the Criminal Justice Curriculum Task Force

. The VCCS should form an alliance with the Virginia Sheriffs Association, the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police, and the Virginia Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators to advocate the General Assembly to support full funding of § 23.1-602 of the Code of Virginia for the Department of Criminal Justice Services to provide reimbursement for tuition, books, and mandatory fees for any law-enforcement officer of the Commonwealth or its political subdivisions, departments, or authorities or any locality of the Commonwealth who is enrolled on a full-time or part-time basis in courses included in an undergraduate or graduate program that leads to a degree or certificate in an area relating to law enforcement.

. The VCCS should develop any other legislative priorities that would support additional training for law enforcement officers leading to a career studies certificate or associate 1

degree, or transfer of an associate degree to a baccalaureate degree. Page

135

Previously approved: June 2020 and August 2020

Increase funding to make community college more affordable for students

. Continue to increase funding for Fast Forward/New Economy Credential Grants

. Join four-year public universities in advocating for need-based financial aid

Increase resources to help all Virginians succeed

. Increase funding and modify eligibility requirements for two-year transfer grants in high- demand fields that are pathways to an associate degree after obtaining G3 stackable credentials

. Pursue a state supplement to underwrite dual enrollment costs, allowing for a uniform tuition rate for all dual enrollment students, regardless of community college provider or school division

. Provide funding for students to access mental health services (delivered directly or via a subscription service)

. Pursue funding for career navigators to guide students through community college into a well-paying job

. Explore a partnership with “Single Stop” or similar non-profit entity to coordinate access to students for benefits screening, community resources, and financial counseling so that they can better achieve financial self-sufficiency

Helping Students Succeed through Online Learning

. Pursue funding to ensure that all VCCS faculty receive training and are prepared to teach online courses at the highest level of quality

. Enhance online student support so that one-on-one advising is available in real time

. Lend support to statewide initiatives that provide more broadband access to Virginians who lack it

Federal Dollars and Alternative Uses

Explore partnership with Department of Social Services on additional flexibility for TANF

funds and targeted direction to eligible VCCS Students. 2 Page

D. 1. Out of this appropriation, $34,500,000 each year from the general fund is designated for the Get Skilled, Get a Job, Give Back Program (G3 Program). The G3 Program will offer financial assistance to low- and middle-income Virginia residents who are eligible for in-state tuition pursuant to § 23.1, Code of Virginia, and who are enrolled in a program at a Virginia public associate degree-granting institution that leads to an occupation in a high-demand field. The programs covered under the G3 Program by Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) Codes are as follows:

142 G3 Talking Points December 17, 2020

Support the Governor’s introduced $34.5 million for G-3 in FY 2022! Urge your delegates and senators to protect that budget investment throughout the 2021 General Assembly session! G3 – a win-win solution for Virginia Families and Businesses.

• The G3 proposal addresses two pressing yet connected needs: o Assisting those whose careers have been interrupted by the global COVID-19 pandemic; and o Expediting talent development, the #1 need expressed by Virginia businesses. G3 makes high-demand careers more accessible for struggling Virginians.

o G3 invests in community college degree programs specifically designed to meet the high-demand needs of Virginia businesses and make those programs low- or no-cost to qualifying students. o G3 programs are designed in stackable segments that help individuals quickly earn the skills needed to begin new careers and work while learning additional skills leading to a college degree and career advancement opportunities. Talent development is the #1 concern of Virginia businesses.

• The Virginia Chamber of Commerce, in its Blueprint Virginia 2025 plan, says talent development is the top concern of Virginia business leaders who need people with the right skills and credentials. • Virginia’s Community Colleges offer nearly 4,000 programs leading directly to Virginia’s workforce. More than 1.1 million Virginians have filed for unemployment benefits. Many of their jobs will be slow to return if they ever do.

• More than 40,000 Virginians sought education and training from Virginia’s Community Colleges following the announcement of the Re-Employing Virginians (REV) Grants in early November. Unfortunately, only about 4,000 met the narrowly drawn eligibility guidelines for the federally funded training vouchers. • The stories they shared demonstrate the real-life challenges they face as they seek to persevere, upskill, change careers, and even heed a calling for public service. PERSEVERANCE: Many Virginians are seeking an opportunity to move forward despite having limited resources.

143 G3 Talking Points December 17, 2020

• “I barely have time for nursing school because I'm working 40-50 hours a week to keep my kids insured since my husband lost their health insurance when he was laid off due to lack of work… I hate 2020.” • “Even with strict budgeting money is tight. I donate plasma when I can, and I work as many hours permitted at Walmart while balancing school and family.” • “Recently my mother, who also was unemployed with me in March 2020 and has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and I have been helping her with her appointments and other needs meaning any money we have goes to the bills.” • “I lost my part-time work study job on campus at the library because of COVID. That was the only job I could have being a single mother and fulltime student.” UPSKILLING: Many Virginians seek a chance to enhance their skills to qualify for available job openings.

• “I am a 59-year-old woman who has worked in retail management for over 30 years.” • “I am caring for my father now that he is legally blind and desperately need to have a more stable life.” • “Working as a school bus driver means limited pay. There is no chance of advancement. I would love to change my career right now.”

CAREER CHANGE: Many cannot afford to wait for their industry to recover.

• “Being a restaurant industry employee for nearly 20 years, it's difficult to find employment even with the network of people I have.” • “Because I have been a meeting planner for 20 years, COVID has basically crippled me.” • “I have worked in the special events industry for 20 years and that does not seem to be coming back anytime soon.”

PUBLIC SERVICE: Some seek a life-reset with a priority on public service.

• “I am currently working at the hospital but can barely pay the expenses of living let alone my nursing program. I want to be able to help save lives and be a hero in this country, but I really need help to accomplish my dream.” • “I want to do something new and fresh. I’d love to start an education with the early childhood education program.” • “I never want to be home and feel helpless again. I want to save lives. I want to inspire. I want to live a life greater than my own. I don't know where this career will take me, but as the semester wraps up, I find myself slowly, but surely figuring out what that means for me.”

Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act Institutional Funding – Frequently Asked Questions

On December 21, Congress passed the CRRSA as part of a massive, year-end bill that also included federal funding for the remainder of FY 21 and a host of other measures. The CRRSA is largely based on a bill crafted by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, which in turn borrows much from the CARES Act enacted in March. However, there are key differences between the final legislation and both of those bills. The FAQs below cover the higher education funding contained in CRRSA and select other issues. In some cases, final answers to common questions will depend on the Department of Education’s (ED) interpretation of the statutory text. ED guidance on key issues, such as which students may receive support, could also change along with the change in administrations. Please note that this document is AACC’s best assessment as of December 23, and while many fundamental aspects of the new law are set, other elements related to its implementation are not.

1. How much does the CRRSA provide to education overall? Of the bill’s approximately $900 billion price tag, $81.8 billion would be provided for education, with the same three large pots (after a 1% set aside for the Outlying Areas and Native American institutions) as the CARES Act: • Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF): $22.7 billion • Elementary and Secondary Education Emergency Relief Fund: $53.4 billion • Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEERF): $4 billion

2. How is the HEERF funding divided? • 89% of the higher education pot, or $20.2 billion, would be distributed to public and non-profit institutions of higher education via an allocation formula (the “main formula”). This compares to approximately $12.5 billion under the CARES Act, so the CRRSA provides substantially more money to institutions. Generally, individual community colleges can expect to receive at least a proportionate increased allocation relative to CARES, but this will not apply universally. • 7.5% ($1.7 billion) will be distributed to Higher Education Act (HEA) Title III- and Title V-eligible institutions. As in the CARES Act, the funds will be allocated between the

December 23, 2020 158 individual programs based on their relative share of FY 20 appropriations. These programs will each receive about 62% more than they did through CARES. Funds will be distributed to eligible colleges using the “main formula” outlined below. Monies will be provided in addition to the larger formula grant program. • .5% ($113 million) for graduate and other institutions with the greatest need not met by the other funding streams. • 3% ($680 million) to for-profit institutions, also distributed under the same formula used for the main pot of funds. All this money must be used for student grants.

3. How is the main formula allocated among institutions? As under the CARES Act, the main formula would allocate 75% of funds based on an institution’s relative share of Pell grant recipients. The rest would be based 23% on its non-Pell students and 2% on its share of Pell recipients who were enrolled exclusively in online education prior to the pandemic. Each one of these categories, in turn, is based 50% on headcount and 50% on full-time equivalent students, making the total formula:

• 37.5% Pell FTE • 37.5% Pell headcount • 11.5% non-Pell FTE • 11.5% non-Pell headcount • 1% exclusively online Pell FTE • 1% exclusively online Pell headcount

4. Is there a requirement to use a portion of the funds for student grants? Each institution must dedicate at least the same dollar amount to students with the new funds that it was required to provide in student emergency grants under CARES. However, since institutions will be receiving more funding under the new legislation than under CARES, the percentage of funds an institution is required to dedicate to student grants will be lower than the 50% required by CARES. Preliminary calculations indicate that percentage to be about 30% or a little less. Any money received by an institution based on its online students, per the above formula, must be used entirely for student grants.

5. How may institutional funds be used? Institutions may use their funds to “defray expenses associated with coronavirus,” including lost revenue and expenses already incurred, as well as wages, though this last term is not clarified. These uses are significantly broader than corresponding provisions in the CARES Act, which were limited to prospective expenses directly related to the disruption of campus operations due to the pandemic. One question that CRRSA does not clearly resolve is whether state and local budget cuts count as “lost revenue.” It is possible, but not certain, at this time that enrollment drops that can directly be tied to the coronavirus can be categorized as lost

December 23, 2020 2 159 revenue. CRRSA also authorizes institutions to use funds to “carry out student support activities authorized by the HEA that address needs related to coronavirus.” It is unclear how this vague language would be implemented.

6. How may student grants be used? Student grants, which are now dubbed financial aid grants, may be used for any component of the cost of attendance (a student financial aid term - https://studentaid.gov/help- center/answers/article/what-does-cost-of-attendance-mean) at the institution or for “emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus.” Like the institutional funds, this language is broader than that in the CARES Act. Among other things, it clearly allows grants to be used for tuition and related expenses. Here, too, ED may play a role in further defining these provisions and exactly how funds can be spent.

7. What students may receive grants? Like the CARES Act, the CRRSA does not define “student” for purposes of who is eligible for grants, so nothing in the bill requires ED to interpret “student” as “Title IV-eligible student,” as was done, amidst controversy, with CARES. (There also appears to be nothing that would prevent ED from doing so.) This is critical because the Title IV definition would prevent undocumented and non-credit students from receiving funding. Also, institutions “shall prioritize grants to students with exceptional need, such as students who receive Pell Grants.” This does imply some form of needs assessment that would generally, if not necessarily, be associated with Title IV. Unlike under the CARES Act, grants may be awarded to students who are exclusively enrolled in distance education.

8. How and when will funding be distributed? CRRSA directs ED to use the Title IV aid system to distribute funds to institutions, as was done with CARES. ED is required to distribute the main formula funds within 30 days of enactment and Title III and V funds within 60 days, “to the extent practicable.” Institutions that had a CARES Act application approved need not reapply for CRRSA funds. Other institutions must apply for funding within 90 days. Funds are available until September 30, 2022.

9. What about unspent CARES Act funds? The broader “uses of funds” language described in Q6 applies retroactively (for both institutional and student funds) to unspent CARES Act funds. However, as under CARES, 50% of all CARES funds must go to student grants. 10. What are the odds of my college receiving funds from the Governor’s fund through this legislation? Of the $4 billion GEERF funds, $1.25 billion is provided for education, which is considerably less than the $3 billion provided under the CARES Act. (Private K-12 school students receive $2.75

December 23, 2020 3 160 billion.) This smaller amount of funds may make it harder for community colleges to access these funds.

11. Are states subject to a maintenance of effort (MOE) requirement? Yes. To receive K-12 or GEERF funds, states must dedicate at least the same proportion of the state budget in FY 22 that K-12 and higher education each received on average in FYs 2017-19. However, states may apply to ED for a waiver if they have experienced a “precipitous decline in financial resources.” 12. Were states given more time to spend unspent CARES Act funds? Yes, states were given a one-year extension (until December 31, 2021) to expend funds provided under the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund.

Deadline: Dec. 18, 2020; 5 p.m. Noncompliance with completion of form in its entirety will result in no funding SUBMISSION DOCUMENT STATUS (Check status-a copy of each must be on file to qualify for funding) 501c3 IRS Determination Letter: On file Articles of Incorporation-VA: N/A – State Agency Financial Data (3 yrs-Rev & Exp, Tax The latest audited financial statements can be viewed at: records, Salaries by Category):: https://www.vccs.edu/governance/#Public-Accountability

Files attached.

Budget: Most funds are provided by State appropriations and tuition/fees. State appropriations per Annual Full Time Equivalent Student have failed to keep pace with inflation. The reduction in real dollars must be offset by tuition increases or increases from outside funding sources. College affordability is an issue for students and parents alike. Local funding is a supplement to State funding and tuition which provides for student centered spending in the areas of student development, student projects, student recognition, student wellness programs, and student activities. Germanna did not raise tuition and fees for the last two academic years. However, the need exists to contend with increased costs for student services to promote student success, particularly with respect to underserved populations.

The local budget includes Operating funds (Student Services and Career Coaches shown separately) and Construction funds.

FY22 Locality Requests All Localities Culpeper Operating Funds 228,810 28,158 Career Coach Program 400,000 25,000 Maintenance Reserve 252,134 0 Construction 400,000 50,000 Totals 1,280,944 103,158

Supplemental funding for one career coach for each high school in our service region is being requested from localities in FY22 requests. Studies and our own experience indicate students who utilize career coaching services are more likely to attend either community college or a four-year school and are more likely to have a career that matches their goals.

The request for Construction funds is for the new Allied Health Building to be constructed on the Locust Grove campus. Design is ongoing, but construction has been delayed due to the pandemic response. While the State provides funding for the building itself, Germanna is required to fund infrastructure and site improvements from local funds. This state-of-the- art health technology building will train health care professionals for the entire service region. (Refer to separate document for further information on the Allied Health Building Project.)

NARRATIVE-PROGRAM

164 Organizational Capacity and For the past 50 years, Germanna Community College has offered Experience: educational enrichment and advancement to the residents of our service Please describe your organization’s experience area. The college provides transfer programs, occupational/technical (yrs in business, how many served, current or past collaborators/partners), accomplishments programs, and workforce development programs leading to associate and any current programs or activities serving degrees, certificates, career studies certificates, and continuing education Culpeper units. In addition to courses and programs for college credit, Germanna’s Workforce and Community Education Center advances the quality of life in the community by providing life-long learning opportunities intended to enhance personal, economic, and regional development. Germanna enrolls over 11,000 in credit programs annually and provides them with opportunities to obtain an associate degree in many fields of study. Another 3,000 students enroll in non-credit programs for vocational training and industry credentials. For FY20, 845 credit and 349 non-credit students were from Culpeper County. Another 366 Culpeper County high school students were dual enrolled with Germanna.

Germanna operates the Daniel Technology Center campus in Culpeper County. The Daniel Technology Center hosts the Germanna Scholar program which enables high school students to obtain an associate degree while concurrently enrolled in high school. The Daniel Technology Center is at the center of the new VECAT training program which is a partnership between the Virginia Asphalt Association, the Virginia Department of Transportation, and the Virginia Community College System led by Germanna Community College’s Center for Workforce in Culpeper. Virginia’s asphalt industry employs over 10,000 people throughout the Commonwealth.

Germanna’s Counseling Services also provide a career coach at Culpeper High School and EVHS. Career Coaches empower students to make informed decisions about their career and educational plans and to prepare for success in postsecondary education and training.

Taxpayers receive a return on their investment. Taxpayer expense for GCC can be interpreted as the investment for educating students in college. This investment will bring future benefit as graduating college students become more productive in the workforce. A more productive workforce can earn higher income, which in turn will benefit taxpayers in the form of incremental future income and sales tax. After leaving GCC with an associate degree, certificate, or simply some college experience, graduates are expected to earn higher wages. Chmura estimated that a GCC student would earn $4,147 more per year than a high school graduate in 2015.

The additional incremental income can bring in additional tax for all governments. In this calculation, it is assumed that the federal income tax rate is 18.5% while the federal payroll tax rate (for social security and Medicare) is 15.3%. The Virginia individual income tax rate averages 5.5%. Increased income also implies increased spending on items subject to sales tax. Incremental income can also lead to additional local tax revenue in the form of meals and BPOL taxes. After adding these taxes together, an individual attending GCC can contribute $1,555 more tax revenue each year than can a high school graduate. The return on investment for taxpayers is 6% per year for taxpayers. Investing in GCC pays a whole host of positive economic and social dividends.

165 Need: The operating fund request ($28,158) will be used to support our local funds Please outline how awarding of these funds operating budget which covers student activities, student development, would respond to a need or needs in Culpeper student wellness programs, student recruitment, and student projects. and how residents would benefit from awarding of this support. Student-centered spending specifically provides services that benefit students from the localities. A report issued by the Joint Legislative Audit Review Commission (JLARC) from September of 2017 confirms that community colleges are the most affordable higher education option in Virginia. It also confirms that our colleges operate efficiently, compared to institutions in our region and across the nation. The students serviced by community colleges are typically older, poorer, attend only part-time, and are often the first in their family to go to college. The students served by community colleges often require a higher level of service and support than traditional 4-year students. Local funding helps sustain these efforts.

The additional operating fund request ($25,000) will be used to fund the expansion of the career coaching program to every high school in our service region. Please refer to the separate document outlining the purpose, need, and goals for this program.

This request includes a request for capital funds for the construction of a new Allied Health Building on the Locust Grove Campus. This building is currently in the design phase with construction anticipated to begin in when the pandemic situation is resolved. This center will train health professionals to fill jobs in health occupations across all the localities that Germanna serves.

The nursing and health technologies programs provide qualified graduates the opportunity to work in medical fields in the service region in careers in nursing, as physical therapy assistants, and as dental hygienists. Graduates also have the opportunity to work toward bachelor’s degrees and other advanced degrees in the medical field. Human Resource executives at the region's hospitals have expressed concern about the shortage of qualified allied health professionals. An Economic Overview published by Chmura Economics and Analytics projects the healthcare and social assistance industry sector will need more than 11,000 new workers over a ten-year period within the Germanna service area alone. In the past several years, GCC has doubled the size of its RN cohorts in order to meet the growing demand for nurses. We will continue to grow our Allied Health programs but have been limited by resource constraints.

Although the Commonwealth will be responsible for the cost of the building itself, Germanna must fund all infrastructure and land improvement including lighting, storm water management, utilities, parking and sidewalks. Additionally, state of the art medical equipment will be required to simulate real-life environment in labs, hospitals and clinics. This request anticipates spending the projected $2.29 million investment over a five-year commitment for localities served by the College. The request from Culpeper County is a commitment of $50,000 per year over five years.

166 Design/Implementation: Please outline how you intend to use these funds Germanna Strategic Goals: (project, event, etc.) and include any applicable • implementation information (time frames, Nurture a culture of high performance, innovation, and partnerships, goals, etc.) appreciation; • Transform teaching and learning to meet the needs of all students; • Construct an educational and career pipeline for all students from connection through completion; • Eliminate barriers to access and success for all students; and • Build a sustainable infrastructure for mission fulfillment.

These funds will be used to attain Germanna’s strategic goals. Funds will support student services provided to construct an educational and career pipeline, eliminate barriers to access and success, and transform teaching and learning to meet the needs of all students in our service area.

Evaluation & Impact: We evaluate success using objectives which are organized using the Loss- Please explain how you will gather data to Momentum Framework for Student Success. Ultimately, the goal is for evaluate success of your program/project and student learners to successfully transition to a four-year institution or to how the use of these funds will help “build a better Culpeper” obtain employment or advance within the workforce. The metrics are organized around connection, entry, progression, and completion. This framework evaluates progress along every step of the student’s pathway with the end goal in mind – completion and student success.

Germanna directly helps to build a better Culpeper by offering a cost- effective option for training and higher education. This training produces higher tax revenue due to higher wages and salaries. Indirect societal benefits include reduced crime rates, reduced public assistance cost, and increased health benefits associated employment and wage growth.

1. Program Purpose/Description: (the following description should not exceed 10 lines of text) The operating budget funded by localities supports programs not funded by state appropriations and tuition. This includes student activities, student projects, strudent recruitment, student development, and institutional effectiveness projects. These programs are necessary to meet the strategic goals of the college; which are: 1. Nurture a culture of high performance, innovation and appreciation; 2. Transform teaching and learning to meet the needs of all students; 3. Construct an educational and career pipeline for all students from connection through completion; 4. Eliminate barriers to access and success for all students; and 5. Build a sustainable infrastructure for mission fulfillment.

2. Justification of Need: (Please state clearly why this service should be provided to the citizens of Orange County and why the Board of Supervisors should consider this funding request. If this is a new program, be sure to include the benefit to the County for funding a new request. The following should not exceed 10 lines of text, and should include the most recent data available.)

Germanna relies on contributions from localities to provide services not otherwise funded from State appropriations and tuition. These services range from supporting student activities to providing funds necessary to expand or tailor couse offerings to the community. Without local support, the college would be unable to continue many student programs and would have to restrict community focused programs. State appropriation based on Annual Full Time Equivalent Students has not kept pace with inflation. This gap must be funded by tuition increases and/or increases from outside funding sources. Student-centered spending specifically helps to provide services that benefit students from the service area by helping them develop knowledge and skills that lead to success in the workplace which benefits local employers and the local economy.

3. Target Audience: (The following should describe the specific population targeted by the program and should not exceed 5 lines of text.)

Individuals seeking higher education; whether in the form of a credential, apprenticeship, degree, dual enrollment or training to meet specific employer needs.

4. Service Area: (Please describe the program's intended geographic service area. This may include entire regions, localities, or specific schools, neighborhoods, etc.) Counties of Orange, Spotsylvania, Culpeper, Madison, Stafford, Caroline, and King George; City of Fredericksburg

5. Service Delivery: (Please state the geographic location of the service, the duration and frequency offered to the clients. If service area includes other municipalities please indicate what amount of funding ($ or %) is received from that locality.)

The Locust Grove Campus is situated within Orange County, and is the primary campus for Allied Health program instruction. During FY20, 562 Orange County Students enrolled in credit classes and another 174 were dual-enrolled high school students. Another 182 Orange County learners were enrolled in vocational or non-credit programs. The operating fund request represents 8% of the total funding requested from localities served by Germanna.

6. Client Fees: (Please describe the fees clients must pay for the services provided in this program, and how those fees are determined.)

Tuition and fees as approved by the State Board of Higher Education.

Please indicate, in detail, reasons for increases or decreases in the amounts requested for FY2022. Include whether these changes come from increases in personnel, benefits, or operating expenses. If an increase is being requested, please describe the impact not receiving an increase would have on the program.

The FY22 funds request of $16,931 is the same as the request for FY21.

169 Program Name: Career Coaching Program Is this a new program? Yes X No Program Contact: Dr. Tiffany Ray Title: VP of Administrative Services Telephone 540-891-3037 Email: [email protected]

1. Program Purpose/Description: (the following description should not exceed 10 lines of text) Community College employees based in local high schools help high school students define their career aspirations and to recognize community college and postsecondary programs (including apprenticeships and workforce training) that can help students achieve their educational and financial goals. The fundamental objectives of the High School Career Coaching Program are to empower students to make informed decisions about their career and educational plans and to prepare students for success in postsecondary education and training. The Student Survey of Career Coaching conducted by Virginia Tech as an assessment of the Virginia Career Coach program found that almost all (92%) students view their coaching experience as valuable to extremely valuable. Students report that coaches help them with planning early, setting goals, and learning about community college. Because of their experience with career coaches, nearly all students (94%) indicate some change regarding college, career, or job.

2. Justification of Need: (Please state clearly why this service should be provided to the citizens of Orange County and why the Board of Supervisors should consider this funding request. If this is a new program, be sure to include the benefit to the County for funding a new request. The following should not exceed 10 lines of text, and should include the most recent data available.)

The career pathways model in K-12 education was developed and implemented collaboratively among the VDOE, SCHEV, VCCS, the Department of Labor and Industry, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, Virginia’s Workforce Council, and the Governor’s Office. Career coaches utilize the career pathways model to engage those students most in need of career planning services, sometimes referred to as the “middle majority”. These are the students who are the mainstay of the emerging workforce and may otherwise graduate from high school without any identified career goals or plans for postsecondary education. Career coaches facilitate the career planning process and equip high school graduates with information and skills to successfully transition into adulthood. Career Coaching helps Virginia residents engage in education and training opportunities that allow them to develop and adapt their skills to contribute to a changing economy. Germanna currently provides Career Coaches at specific high schools in the service area. Based on the results and feedback of those coaches, students, and their families the local economy will ultimately benefit from offering these services at all high schools within the service area. However, state funding is not sufficient to expand these services without support from localities. Germanna currently funds six career coaches (part time at 1,450 hours each) at a total cost of $235,000. Eleven additional coaches will be required to provide career coaching services at every high school in the region. This requires additional funding of $25,000 per high school.

3. Target Audience: (The following should describe the specific population targeted by the program and should not exceed 5 lines of text.)

High school students and their parents with a focus on students most in need of career planning services.

4. Service Area: (Please describe the program's intended geographic service area. This may include entire regions, localities, or specific schools, neighborhoods, etc.) Counties of Orange, Spotsylvania, Culpeper, Madison, Stafford, Caroline, and King George; City of Fredericksburg

5. Service Delivery: (Please state the geographic location of the service, the duration and frequency offered to the clients. If service area includes other municipalities please indicate what amount of funding ($ or %) is received from that locality.)

Career Coaches empower high school students to make informed decisions about career and educational plans and to prepare them for success in postsecondary education or training. Career Coaching increases the number and percentage of high school graduates who enter postsecondary education or workforce training prepared for success. 6.C Client h Fees: b (Please d i l describe l hi the h fees h clients l must d pay k for l the l services ith provided l in this dprogram, t h and t how those fees t dare tdetermined.) h d
