Approval of Notes: Notes of January 25, 2021 were approved with spelling correction.

DASG Report: Anita C. stated that chemistry department chairperson and other chemistry faculty attended the DASG meeting to assuage student concerns centered on COVID safety when attending on-campus chemistry labs.

Present draft of Program Review document: Mary asked IPBT members to add any updates/suggestions/questions on latest program review document posted on shared drive. Lisa asked if the Word document was linked to the spreadsheet for requesting resources. Mary stated there was no connection between the Word and Excel documents. Unless someone makes suggestions for updates, the resource request spreadsheet will remail the same with only the year changed.

Resource Allocation and Its Impact on Classified Professionals: Heidi outlined how the experts were not asked about implementation when requests were made to IPBT. Classified professionals were somehow supposed to find the capacity to process the requests chosen for funding. Rather as part of making the request, the appropriate classified professionals should be consulted as to both the most effective way to meet the need and to the capacity of the affected area to execute the purchase and implementation. It should be more than merely a checkbox on the form.

Heidi was recognized and thanked for all she has accomplished while Instructional Designer at De Anza College. Moving ahead without her leaves a humungous hole not merely in Online Education but on campus.

Strong Workforce Program and Perkin’s Funds: After Heidi’s poignant request to consider who will be processing the resources designated for funding and her caution to consult the experts first, approval of Strong Workforce budget was postponed until the next meeting. IPBT members are encouraged to review resource requests and flag requests where funding the request might impact classified professionals negatively.

Plan for allocation of Enhanced Lottery and Instructional Equipment: Postponed to next meeting.
