Students from three colleges (Phoenix College - Leonard Montez-Bailee; Michelle Dimuria; Ja-Lanell Morrison; and Deborah Bernstein, Paradise Valley Community College - Helena Reed; Celia Krites; Alba Bowe; Mega Amphlete and Rebecca O'Connor, and Scottsdale Community College - Erin Goldie) discussed upcoming events and programs that their organizations will be participating in during the Fall Semester.
Two students (Robert Gatlin and Nicholas Darris) from Glendale Community College discussed the issue regarding the purchase of replacement vans for the 15 passenger vans, and the fact that the funds are coming out of Fund 2. They are afraid that it will probably take up to eight years to replace all of these vans. They would like the District to address this issue.
