Items to Bring to the Board
January 30, 2009
1. Board member's request for action; when a lot of information is requested by a board member, this should come to the full board for discussion, synergy and consensus (a vote).
2. Request a board retreat to get status reports on technology information; answering the questions about a strategic plan for all the spending that includes a project plan that identifies life cycle and testing phases.
3. Request all board members receive a copy of the Information Technology audit recently completed.
4. Request that an external investigation be done on the dismissal of Ms. Yvonne Watterson, the Principal at Gateway High School.
5. Request this item to be put on the board agenda for discussion, synergy and consensus that all MCCCD High School Principals attend at least one board meeting a month and provide an update for their school.
6. Request that an action item be put in place to have a plan of action to towards Glendale, Rio Salado and Gateway becoming Hispanic Serving Institutes.
7. It is my understanding that the District did not find porn or links to porn on the Glendale professor's website or on the district or college's mainframe computers and
that no request for settlement was made. Did the district check the district computer caches, backup files or have them run a computer file undelete program to check for
porn on all of the computers involved, and did they ask for a settlement agreement? If not, please do so.
