Dear SBCTC Colleagues,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
I write you this afternoon to share some staffing changes in the Education Division.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
Over the past year, there has been a lot of opportunity for us to rethink how we are supporting our colleges.
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
With that in mind, we have made the following changes since the onset of the pandemic:</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
• Expanded the Student Success Center team to include Jennifer Whetham and Alissa Sells.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
• Built a holistic student services and support department with the incorporation of the student support programs team under Dr. Joe Holliday’s leadership.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
• Elevated the former accessibility technology policy administrator position to policy associate position that directly reports to the deputy for education.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
I also want to let you know of the departure of Dr. Mark Jenkins and Dr. Stephan Gance from the State Board, effective June 30, 2021. Between now and June 30, they will be working to wrap up several projects. Effectively immediately I will serve as the interim
Director for Educational Technology. Over the course of the next several months, the Educational Technology team and I will be making recommendations on how to best serve students and move the department forward. Please join me in thanking Dr. Jenkins and
Dr. Gance for their years of service to the State Board and the community and technical college system. We wish you the best as you begin your next chapter!</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
In addition, Dr. Bill Moore will be retiring from his K-12 Partnership Director position as of June 30, 2021 and will begin a period of phased retirement for the upcoming year to focus on wrapping up the Bridge to College grant work. Thank you, Bill, for continuing
your service to the system—happy we get to collaborate with you for another year!
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">
The K-12 Partnership Director position will be reshaped as a Director of Dual Credit & K-12 Alignment position, consolidating the work being done across our agency on dual credit (i.e. Running Start, College in the High School, etc.) and will collaborate with
the Workforce Department to fold in CTE Dual Credit. A search will begin immediately for this hire.
