• Contracts with Best Western and Holiday Inn for student housing
  • Contract with Wild Health LLC testing. This in addition to the Quest Diagnostics contract previously approved. Wild Health will do the on-site testing and Quest will be a backup.
  • New Title IX Guidelines (a new mandatory training on this will be coming soon)
  • Annual standing line of credit raised to $5 million. According to the Chief Financial Officer, this is not needed now, but is being done as a precaution.

The board also received the following informational items:

Pre-College Academy 2019 Class

32 PCA students (97%) went on to earn a 2.0 or greater GPA 29 PCA students (88%) earned a 3.0 or greater GPA 12 PCA students (36%) earned a 4.0 GPA

Grades Distribution

Comparing Spring and Summer 2020 (with the campus closing) to Spring 2019, the percentage of students earning passing grades was 75.7% for 2020, compared to 79.0% in 2019. “Other Grades” (Incomplete, Withdrawal, etc.) went up by 2%. So, overall, student grades do not appear to have suffered from the emergency transition.

Regent Moffett noted that the decrease in senior return rate is a good thing because it means more students graduated.
