Whereas, she has a sense of humor backed with professional experience and

demeanor that creates a very positive working relationship; and

Whereas, her ability to “bling up” her office or an outfit, her fun-loving nature, and

her contagious laughter will be missed; therefore, be it

Resolved, that the Board of the Western Technical College District hereby expresses

its appreciation and gives a special commendation to Sandy Schultz for her years of

service and her commitment to excellence; and be it

Resolved, that the Western Technical College District Board, Administration, Faculty,

Staff, and Students all wish Sandy many happy and satisfying years in her retirement.

Recommendation: Approve for First Reading revised Policy C0408 Special Conditions Warranting Stipends.


C0408 SALARY ADJUSTMENT OF A MANAGER OR

ADMINISTRATOR AND OTHER SPECIAL CONDITIONS WARRANTING STIPENDS

When an administrator or manager a staff person leaves the College, their duties may be maintained by another staff member on an interim basis. This staff member may be compensated for the additional responsibility based on the approved procedure. Such compensation must be approved by the College President.

Additionally, there are conditions which warrant stipends to a manager or administrator staff person where additional efforts are required on the job to handle workload due to a certain pre-determined set of circumstances where back-fill is not a possibility.


Revised July 10, 2000 Adopted April 20, 1999

Reference: Procedure C0408P


http://wire1.westerntc.edu/policy/c0408p.htm

C0408p

SALARY ADJUSTMENT OF A MANAGER OR ADMINISTRATOR AND OTHER SPECIAL CONDITIONS WARRANTING STIPENDS

Transition Replacement:

When an administrator is asked to staff a vacant administrator position at least one pay grade higher than that occupied by the administrator, on an interim basis, for at least three months, while maintaining the essential duties of the current position, that individual's pay will be adjusted during that transition period following a guideline of up to 20%. The total pay during the transition period must not exceed the higher of the maximum rate for the individual's current position or the position for which he or she is acting as a replacement. If more than one administrator is asked to fill in for a position at least one pay grade higher than that of the highest paid administrator, the total salary adjustment for all will be limited to not more than 20% of the highest salary paid.

If a union represented employee is asked to fill in for an administrator in accord with the above circumstances, the salary adjustment for that employee is subject to negotiation with the specific union and must fit within that union's contract pay structure.

When an administrator staff is asked to assume and maintain for three months or longer than three months, the duties for another vacant administrator position, at the same grade or a lower grade than his or her current position, in addition to maintaining all major duties of their current position, that individual's pay will be adjusted during that transition period following a guideline of up to 10% starting on the first day of the fourth month.

Temporary Replacement:

No pay adjustment will be made when an administrator staff fills in for a vacant administrator position for a duration believed to be less than one three months. The administrator individual is expected to maintain the routine aspects of the vacant position only, delaying critical decisions until the return of the incumbent or referring them to the administrator to whom the position reports.

When the administrator fills in for a vacant administrator position where the position is anticipated to be temporarily vacant from one to three months, a salary adjustment of up to 10% will be made for that coverage period under the assumption that critical decisions can either be deferred or referred to the supervising administrator.

Where the absent administrator staff is replaced by a number of administrators individuals, each of whom assumes parts of the vacant administrator position on a temporary basis, regardless of the nature of the absence, there will be no temporary salary adjustment.

Any salary adjustment for individuals who temporarily replace administrative other employees during their absences must be approved in advance by the President of the College.

Special Compensation Situations:

Special situations sometimes occur which require some form of stipend for individuals who, because of their position or the needs of the District, are required to work additional effort and workload for a period of time.


In some situations the college can provide backfill or otherwise help to accommodate the workload. In others, due to the complexity of the position, the length of the overload, or the amount of training it would take to bring someone up to speed, it is not practical to backfill. In these situations there may be up to a 10% salary adjustment for the time of the effort or added responsibilities until they end.

This provision is not intended for situations where the on-going position is permanently assigned additional responsibilities.

- Students are still required to pay material fees and all other applicable student fees.

- Course prerequisites must be followed to allow registration for any course.

WESTERN TECHNICAL COLLEGE

I S S U E P AP E R

Topic: PROJECT SUBMISSION AND ACCEPTANCE 2017-2018 Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act

Issue: The Wisconsin Technical College System Board has initiated the request for proposal process for 2017-2018.

Project Description: 1. Strengthening Career and Technical Education Programs (continuing)

This project will enable Western to increase retention and graduation rates for students in several health programs by providing targeted support for students in General and Advanced Anatomy & Physiology.

Total Project State Funds Matching Funds

$79,205 $79,205 $0

2. Student Success (continuing)

Through this project Student Support staff will assist at-risk students in programs to be more successful resulting in higher course completion, retention, graduation and employment rates for students. At-risk students are often prep students who do not meet the program entrance criteria, but a working committee has been moving this definition slowly more towards data-driven evaluation of “at-risk” to fit Western’s goal of more data-driven decision making. Counselors guide and counsel at-risk students, defined by research analysis of current data, to overcome barriers to their education. Staff in the Welcome Center will offer individualized problem-solving services, accommodations, and case management to improve the likelihood that the student will graduate from Western and secure a job related to their education. We plan on continuing to develop counselors and advisors who will work with specific, targeted academic departments to be “subject-matter experts” in that program of study.

4. Non-Traditional Occupation Services (continuing)

This project is focused toward enrollment and retention of women and men in programs that tend to employ individuals of the opposite gender more frequently. Emphasis of this activity is to contact faculty and students in programs with high concentrations of non-traditional students and offer career decision-making, teambuilding, case management, and support to improve student success. Non-traditional educational opportunities at Western will be promoted through Western’s non-traditional webpage, videos, and Challenge Academy presentations. Western’s current NTO coordinator is retiring, and this year the project is being reorganized and possibly new activities will be proposed.
