9101 EAST LOWRY BOULEVARD, DENVER, CO 80230-6011 ∙ TEL 303.620.4000 ∙ CCCS.EDU Communication with the K-12 schools is ongoing so they will know all of their options – they have options other than Accuplacer. Danen said the data is indicating students tend to place themselves too low, rather than too high.

Denise said information is still being collected about our course prefix and numbering set-up. Danen explained how DegreeWorks will not support versioning; with that vendor encouraging a move to a 4- character, 4-digit course prefix and numbering system. Numerous other nuances and complexities related to this topic were explored during discussion.

9101 EAST LOWRY BOULEVARD, DENVER, CO 80230-6011 ∙ TEL 303.620.4000 ∙ CCCS.EDU Mike said the CTE disciplines will need to review their CIP & program realignment info during 2:2.

Danen confirmed DwD will be a major topic at 2:2, including academic disciplines such as ENG & MAT.

Danen confirmed we are still tentatively scheduled to work with the Dana Center. Obviously, with the pandemic, there are many contingencies. Danen is hoping to have more details in a month. 10:10 – 10:20 AM  Legislative Updates Landon Pirius & Landon was not able to attend  Teaching Excellence Grant Update Danen Jobe today, so Danen provided these updates.

Danen confirmed the Teaching Excellence Grant is priority money set aside by the board ($5 million). Due to budgetary concerns, it will likely need to be suspended – not rescinded. In other words, it will likely be delayed by one year, possibly two.

On the topic of budgets, Danen confirmed we are being asked to model either a

9101 EAST LOWRY BOULEVARD, DENVER, CO 80230-6011 ∙ TEL 303.620.4000 ∙ CCCS.EDU 10% or 20% reduction in state funding. The state is currently saying we may only increase tuition by 3%.

The task force will meet next week to review feedback and work towards creating a final draft. 11:20 – 11:30 AM  GE Council Report Carol Kuper Carol said Danen did a good job providing many updates from GE Council.
