10 Points of Interest in Draft Things to note: 1. Organized as we all agreed on last year. 2. Stronger discussion of the value of Community Services 3. Mention of the creation of the document repository 4. Page 5, A discussion of exactly what ed code and title 5 say 5. Page 6, Reinforcement of local approval, versus other types of approval 6. Page 7, Program formation as a necessity
7. Page 7, and 8Program versus offering explored: “There are other indirect costs, however, that are impractical to calculate and account for through an individual offering or even sequence of offerings and can only be mitigated through the formation of a Community Services program. Examples might include the costs of staff taking registrations, processing paperwork, developing and coordinating the curriculum, training and supervising instructors, registration website fees, utilities, security, janitorial services and the like. This leads to a need for colleges to analyze the economics of a Community Services Program – the organizational unit of college personnel tasked with coordinating the conduct of multiple offerings. It is of note that neither the California Education Code nor the California Code of Regulations makes reference to a Community Services program or department.”
