1. Minutes of the January 25 ITC Meeting were approved.

2. Steve Sachs and Sue Hintz reported on the recommendations from the College TLTR for discipline-related software awards. A total of $36,800 in Technology Plan funds was available. Over $250,000 in requests were received. The recommendations were approved by the ITC. The ITC also approved a recommendation to the College Budget Advisory Committee that $100,000 be allocated next year to discipline-related software as a College priority--in addition to Technology Plan funds. The ITC also recommended that the College TLTR suggest that smaller proposals look to alternative sources of funds, such as the College Foundation. The College TLTR recommended that the priority for next year's discipline-related software awards be for single-campus programs rather than College-wide programs as was done this year. The approved awards were:

4. Dr. Sachs presented a proposal from the Woodbridge Campus to use some of their unspent reassigned funds for registration fees related to technology use. The ITC approved this request.

5. Dean Bassett presented a request to replace transcript printers, since the old ones have worn out. The current funds in the Technology Plan budget for replacement of SNA printers are currently targeted toward whatever printers are finally selected to work with the new SIS, rather than to replace current SNA-capable printers. The ITC approved making replacement of transcript printers a priority for end of year funds or in next year's Technology Plan.

6. Dr. Sachs requested approval to move remaining 2000-2001 Technology Plan funds within the plan to cover costs that have exceed estimates by small amounts or to begin purchasing items (such as PCs or transcript printers) that will be part of the 2001-2002 Technology Plan. The ITC approved this request.

7. The proposed 2001-2002 Draft Technology Plan was discussed. This draft was prepared by a committee composed of the LRS Directors, Mrs. Simpson (representing TAC/ELI) and Dr. Sachs. The following changes to the draft plan were approved by the ITC:

• Change the estimate for reassigned time from $1,500 per 3 credit course to $1,600.
• Instead of funding CCS&T staff training centrally, allocate funds for staff training to the campuses. Each campus can decide whether to allocate some or all of these funds to the CCS&T contract, or use them in other ways to accomplish staff training. Each campus must include details on how they plan to allocate these funds in their Campus Technology Plans that are due later this Spring/Summer. To find the funds necessary to fund this recommendation, the ITC approved the following plan: Reduce technical training funds to $70,000--the amount spent this year. Reduce the discipline-related software funds to $35,000. Add $15,000 for staff training to the top of the list of "priority projects if funds are available." Funds will be allocated based on number of faculty/staff. College staff at Annandale and ELI will be included in the Annandale total.
