NORTH CAROLINA GOVERNING BOARDS REPORT, BOB GREENE
The Joint Liaison Committee of the State Board of Education, the UNC Board of Governors and the State Board of Community Colleges met March 19, 2001, at UNC General Administration in Chapel Hill.
Dr. Greene reported that Dr. Gary Barnes presented the new requirements for entrance admissions for students in the university system. By the year 2004, two units of a second foreign language will be required and by the year 2006, an additional unit of mathematics beyond Algebra II with the exception of the North Carolina School of the Arts applicants.
The committee discussed the growing shortage of school principals in North Carolina. The shortage is a result of increased enrollment, high principal retirement rate and increased number of licensed principals who choose not to serve in that capacity.
The committee also discussed the teacher shortage in North Carolina and the nation. Meeting the shortage areas, while maintaining high quality, creates a dilemma for the state. The community college system has a major role to play, especially in primary and elementary education in helping address the shortage. The community colleges can provide great training in the first two years. The University Board of Governors, the Public Education Board and the Board of Community Colleges must work together to help solve this problem.
APPROVAL OF THE CONSENT AGENDA
On a motion by Mr. Sansom, seconded by Mr. Middlesworth, the Board approved the consent agenda, consisting of the items listed below.
Policy Committee,
Meigs C. Golden, ChairPolicy on Controlled Work Experience
Attachment Pol. 1 in Folder 4-01
The Board approved the following statement as policy: "Physical education or work experience may not be a part of a curriculum program in a correctional setting." The Board also approved to initiate the rulemaking process to amend NCAC 2E.0403 Instruction to Captive or Co-opted Groups. Significant challenges in ensuring program effectiveness in community college program offerings continue to exist. Recently an audit exception was taken which involved work experience in a correctional setting. Work experience was essentially the program of study and issues dealing with program integrity and supplanting were noted. The State Board has never allowed physical education courses in the correctional setting.

REGULAR AGENDA
POLICY COMMITTEE, Meigs C. Golden, Chair
For Information
A. Report on Performance Measures
Attachment Pol. 1 in Folder 4-01
The State Board of Community Colleges has adopted twelve performance measures that are used to assess community college accountability. In addition, six of the performance measures are used in the implementation of performance funding. Data on ten of the twelve measures was collected and presented to the Board.
B. Service Area Study
The Board was given information regarding the Service Area Study. The Policy Committee plans to make the following two recommendations:
1) Warren County to be assigned exclusively the service area of Vance Granville Community College and,
2) Northhampton County to be assigned the service area of Halifax Community College with the provision that Roanoke-Chowan Community College continue to serve the education and training needs of the Odom Correctional Unit.
For Action
Ten Percent Tax Exempt Use Policy
On a motion by Mr. Golden, seconded by Mr. King, the Board approved beginning the rulemaking process for the Ten Percent Tax Exempt Use Policy. Federal tax laws require that when facilities are financed with tax-exempt bonds, no more than ten percent of the tax-exempt bond proceeds can be used to construct or improve space that will be privately managed. The community college system must certify that the private use of facilities financed with the proceeds of the State Bonds does not exceed ten percent of the total cost of the improvements financed with the proceeds of the Community College Bonds. Therefore, the State Board will require that each college provide a certification, as part of the approval process, as to the improvements that will be for the private use of facilities. A statement, similar to the following, will be required of the board of trustees of the college for each bond project:
We certify that approximately _______percent ($_______) of the 2000 State Bond funds in this project will be used to construct or improve space that will be privately managed.
