<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">Dear LTCA,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">The LTCA Board has finally received some guidance and traction regarding our Learning & Tutoring Center Council (LTCC) proposal. With our persistent outreach to members within
the Learning Innovation Subcommittee and the Instruction Commission (IC), the Board has been invited to present at the upcoming Learning Innovation Subcommittee spring meeting on May 15, 2025.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">At this meeting, the Board will present the necessity of establishing an LTCC. In preparation for this, the Board has taken the following steps:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li style="margin-left:0in" class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">Drafted and signed a formal letter of support for our Proposal</span></li><li style="margin-left:0in" class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">Updated the
<i>Council Necessity</i> section of the Proposal</span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">The updates to the
<i>Council Necessity </i>section were made in light of recent information indicating the IC may consider grouping our Proposal with other organizations seeking state-level representation as a means to manage budgetary and resource constraints. In response,
the Board felt it was critical to strengthen the <i>Council Necessity</i> section to ensure our Proposal is evaluated on its own history, context, and merit. We believe our Proposal warrants an independent review and should not be lumped with the objectives
of other organizations nor overlooked due to the current fiscal environment.</span></p>
