Nursing Program Emergency Presentation –

Anita Kandula, presented, De Anza Nursing program In Crisis, power point. As of today, the nursing program has a serious shortage in staff due to recent retirements and resignations. Each nursing position is unique and it is difficult to find replacement part-time instructors. Also, the load is so heavy. For example, they need to hire 3 p/t instructors to replacement one f/t instructor.

The Nursing department asked for IPBT’s approval to hire two nursing faculty. The program won’t be viable without these replacements.

After a brief conversation, and considering the program’s impressive student statistics, the committee unanimously approved the immediate hire of two faculty-nurses.

IPBT members said that this was a good example of how important and successful the CTE programs are. CTE programs and certificates need to be advertised more so potential students know what we are offering at De Anza.

Espinosa-Pieb assured the committee that these two advanced positions in spring wouldn’t affect IPBT’s regular faculty hiring cycle in fall.

 Perkins Funding Emergency Approval Requirement -

 Margaret Bdzil presented two items pertaining to De Anza CTE programs 2017-18 requests for Perkins IC Federal funds that will be posted to the IPBT website.

The first was an Excel spreadsheet Perkins IC 2017 - 2018 CTE Program Requests with a snapshot of all Perkins IC requests for 2017-18.

The second document was a consolidated workbook that included the detail for each program's request. Perkins Application Budget Summary.

Although the 2017-18 Perkins IC allocation figures had not yet been released, the CCC Chancellor's Office recommended using the 2016-17 allocation as a baseline: $376,612. The total in requests for 2017-18 exceeds the projected allocation by $9,087.
