President’s Report and Board of Trustees Report
Trustee Chair Eric Wamsley thanked the Commissioner and the Board for supporting Bridgerland Technical College (BTECH). He provided an update on the college from the perspective of the Board of Trustees.
President Chad Campbell updated the Board on the state of the college. He summarized BTECH’s mission and roles for the Board. He updated the Board on what is working well at BTECH. President Campbell shared that one of the challenges for the technical colleges is that the capital improvement process has little funding. There needs to be a mechanism for technical colleges to renovate existing facilities. He highlighted the college’s campus events from the last few years, including the COE site visit, Custom Fit Program, NASA HUNCH, and LEAP Scholarship Gala. The Board members asked President Campbell about access and completion and thanked him for his contributions.
Board member Shawn Newell made a motion to go into closed session for the purposes of discussing the character, professional competence, or physical or mental health of an individual; Board member Albrecht seconded the motion, and the Board members in attendance voted unanimously in favor. The motion passed.
Closed Session
