In addition, about $600,000 to $700,000 basic funds are have been received this year and these funds will be used for next year (2009-2010). Dr. Walzer is requesting an extension on submitting the guidelines for proposal for basic skills funding to the college constituencies. He would like to meet with SGC to determine the process for funding and reporting to the appropriate committee.

A discussion followed regarding the history and original founding of the Student Success Committee at LACC. The SGC Planning members who have been active members for the past three or four years recounted the following:

SGC charged the SGC Planning Committee with establishing and monitoring a Student Success Committee. The LACC Student Success Committee was established in 2007 and was co-chaired by Jackie Ireland and Myra Siegel.

The committee has met irregularly during the past year and new leadership and membership, under Andrew Walzer has been selected. A question as to whether or not the original committee was formerly disbanded by SGC was discussed and is being researched.
