1. Krista LeBrun—Contractual services will be reviewed voted on at the MACJC meeting on January 22 nd 2. Shalon Farris a. Trello Boards for Issues—Trello is free and provides transparency on support issues. Videos and guides are available. Everyone has access to the MSVCC Trello group. All support issues (Canvas, ET, etc.) need to be posted in Trello. b. Still working with Canvas on Catalog implementation. Progress is being made. Also trying to develop a best practices document. Shalon would like to meet with everyone Tuesday, January 15 th , to discuss best practices. a. MSVCC Academy Training Schedule and P&P—There are only two TEO courses currently scheduled due to upcoming budget cuts and trying to show in good faith the effort to be fiscally responsible. The group is not sure if this enough due to demand of the courses. Many schools have already posted the previous Academy schedule and this causes a hardship to have to cancel sessions. The Catalog does provide a waiting list that can be used to determine the need for specific offerings. The waiting list is not ideal because it does not auto-enroll participants. Brooke will provide the group with a spreadsheet of previous course offerings, enrollment, and instructor pay. The modified Spring Academy schedule is the final schedule of offerings. 3.
