Facility Improvement Project Update: Swithenbank Construction has bid on the project. It is not completely ready to be voted on tonight. By the end of the week there may be a special board meeting to vote on the final bid. Mendocino College will be installing new HVAC units to our rooms over Spring Break.
Community Outreach Update: K. Morgan and D. Vogele have put together a new brochure to have at our tabling events. There are also flyers to put up around town with pull tabs. Lottery is coming up soon.
EduTech Proposal: Ms. Adams has been our Special Programs assistant, which takes a lot of time and energy, which involves a lot of IT troubleshooting. EduTech is a remote IT support services company that can be hired to help with this aspect of the school. This is one option to help free up some of Ms. Adam's time moving forward. J. Aldrich suggested that K. Morgan check for ideas at the district.
