Other:
1. Curriculum Chair report: James provided information about K-12 common core. He will gather more information at the Curriculum Institute this summer. James will also be forwarding a list of courses out of compliance with the review process. Bill Henry said that the courses will not go into the schedules that are out of compliance. The State requirement is 6 year review cycle and the PC review cycle is 4 years. CTE is 2 year review cycle.
2. GE-Graduation requirements: No discussion.
3. District-wide Curriculum Database (inquiry from CC): Cerro Coso asked if we would be interested in a district wide curriculum data base outside of CNET. Miles thought that CID would take care of identifying our courses. Susan asked if they were really looking at equivalent courses between the KCCD district.
4. Liberal Arts Division discussion in Arts, Social Science and Math: The Math & Science would like to see an AA-T instead of keeping this degree. There are a few courses that would need developed and/or modified. The courses are Math, World Regional Geography and Physical Science. The Social Science division is still discussing the degree.
