2. ASCCC Spring Plenary 2008 April 18 10:45 a.m. to 12:00 noon Description  Despite their level of preparedness, the ultimate measure of student success is achieving a degree and/or transferring. What can – and should – discipline faculty do to ensure student success? What is being done to facilitate student movement from high school to the community college? What should you be doing to facilitate movement from the community college to the CSU and UC? Should you be modifying your courses to meet LDTP criteria? Are your degrees designed with student needs in mind? Consider these questions and how your local policies help or hinder student success in this multi-faceted breakout.

13. ASCCC Spring Plenary 2008 April 18 10:45 a.m. to 12:00 noon Locally, what can you do? to facilitate movement from the CCC to the UC/CSU? Review your local policies Review your degrees intended for transfer students – do they prepare students for transfer? Ensure that your Course Outlines of Record are current

14. Reviewing policies and degrees  Do you permit students to “double-count” course for the major and GE?  Do you have local graduation requirements that interfere with degree completion?  Are your degrees designed for transfer students? Reflect the requirements of the institutions to which your student’s commonly transfer? Require students to take courses that will not benefit them upon transfer?

15. Legislation  What legislation is being developed to facilitate student movement through our systems?  What legislation might actually help?  Presently – two to watch Portantino Padilla SB 1585

16. Portantino  AB 1409  Existing law prohibits the principal of a secondary school from  recommending, for any particular grade level, for community college  summer attendance, more than 5% of the total number of pupils who  completed that grade immediately prior to the time of recommendation.  This bill would authorize school districts to enter into partnerships  with community college districts to provide secondary school pupils  with the opportunity to benefit from advanced scholastic,  career-technical, or vocational work, or other coursework at a campus  of the California Community Colleges. The bill would authorize the  enrollment of a secondary school pupil in one or more courses of  instruction offered by a community college on a high school campus  under the terms and conditions imposed by the governing authorities  of that high school instead provide that, from January 1, 2008, to  December 31, 2010, inclusive, for any particular grade level, a principal  may not recommend for community college summer session attendance  more than 10% of the total number of pupils who completed that grade  in the school year immediately prior to the time of recommendation.

17. Portantino AB 1916  This bill would, notwithstanding any other law or collective bargaining agreement entered into or renewed on or after January 1, 2009, raise to 67% the maximum percentage of the hours per week of a full-time employee having comparable duties that a person employed to teach adult or community college classes could teach, while  continuing to be classified as a temporary employee.

18. Padilla  SB 1585 (Padilla) leg intent: increasing student transfer numbers  Supported by CPEC  The bill would, commencing with the 2009–10 academic year, require each CC district to increase the number of students that transfer to a baccalaureate degree-granting institution by 5% from the previous academic year, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program.

19. Padilla  The bill would require the CSU, and request the UC, to assess strategic plans and initiatives that address its transfer function and coordinate and lend support to the CCs to achieve stated transfer increase goals. These provisions would remain in effect only until the state adopts an accountability framework and production goals for the higher ed system.  The CA Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.  Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that  reimbursement.
