Old Business
1. Sites charging for students (Low, Konecne)
IACCC sites have agreed to not pay any sites to take students. Val will contact the Northern Consortium, and also San Diego schools to garner support from other CA schools to not pay as well.
New Business:
1. CA regulations for PTA supervision (Appleton)
There is concern that a new program has sent a letter saying that PTA’s can supervise PTA students without PT supervision. Val clarified that although this may be sanctioned by APTA and in other states, this is not allowed in CA. Carol clarified that although PTA’s can mentor PTA students, PT must be on site with ultimate responsibility.
2. New regulations from SB 198 – no more “intern” title (Teglia)
SB 198 repealed the authority to use PT intern. The student can only call themselves a student, not an intern. We can still call the experience an internship, although the student cannot call themselves an intern. The language is on the PT Board website. Sheryl will bring it up with the Government Affairs committee.
3. New program/CAPTE updates (Teglia)
The last CAPTE report from November – West Coast University denied candidacy, they have another onsite visit in February. Casa Loma also denied initial accreditation.
4. CPTA Student conclave – March 29 and 30, St. Augustine, San Marcos (Teglia)
Val Teglia and Michael Simpson will be presenting.
5. ELC and Education Summit – Tentative: ELC Oct 10-12, Ed Summit Oct 12-14 in Kansas City (Teglia). ACAPT will invite 2 people from every program to attend the summit, which can include the program administrator and DCE. CPTA is Oct 24-25.
7. Student Legislative for CPTA day is Jan 28.
