Allocation of resources – Ranck and Pape presented to the committee, “De Anza College IPBT Master Allocation Workbook, Spring 2020 - Strong Workforce and Critical Fall and Summer Resources” and asked the team to do the final review and approve and recommend for approval for College Council on June 18th. De Anza College IPBT Master Allocation Workbook, Spring 2020

Lorrie reminded everyone that Strong workforce funds must be spent by the end of December 2020 this is the most critical area to address. The SWP amount that needed to be spenddown is around $800K. Regional funds could be used for everything that relates Strong Workforce program and benefit the region.

The committee approved Strong workforce fund allocation.

Nursing program current status – Nursing is not being reduced at this time; faculty hiring in progress based on the outcome we will be moving forward; have to fund the program in order to support current students finish the degree; start a new cohort in fall.

Lorrie Ranck thanked the Faculty, Classified, and Administrators that served this year!
