Topic: Three Year Facilities Plan 2016-2019

Issue: Annually, each Wisconsin Technical College District is required to prepare and

submit a Three-Year Facilities Plan to the Wisconsin Technical College System Board (WTCSB). The Plan must be approved by the District Board and submitted no later than August 1st of each year. The reporting shall be on a fiscal year basis and include information for the current and next two fiscal years. The Plan will be accepted and reviewed by the WTCSB but no action will be taken, as each project continues to be subject to review and approval on an individual basis pursuant to s. 38.04(10), Stats. Facility development projects, acquisitions, construction of new or additional facilities, and remodeling that have not been included in a Plan will not be considered for WTCSB review and approval. However, recognizing the need for districts to be responsive, an exception may be granted to this policy provided a Technical College can demonstrate extenuating circumstances. The WTCSB will act on granting an exception prior to taking any action on the project.

Topic: Wisconsin Technical College District Boards Association’s 2016-2017 Fee Assessment to Western Technical College

Issue: The Board of Directors of the Wisconsin Technical College District Boards Association has approved a 2016-2017 operating budget, which represents a 1.2% increase over the current year. Each District’s dues are based on a formula of:

1. ½ of the budget assessed as a flat fee (1/2 of the approved budget ÷ 16 districts), and 2. ½ assessed by FTE enrollment (A change in dues may vary from .3% because of relative

change in enrollments last year) For 2016-2017, nine districts will have dues decreases and seven have dues increases.

Western’s fee assessment for the past year, 2015-2016 was approved at $26,062.61.

I S S U E P A P E R

Topic: New Program Development – Concept Approval – Addition of Injection Mold Set-Up (Plastic) Apprenticeship Program

Issue: Western has identified an unmet apprenticeship training need in the field of

Injection Mold Maker - Plastics Background: Local employers rely on apprenticeship programs as a strategy to meet the

demand for skilled workers. Manufacturing employers within Western’s district are requesting Western to deliver classroom related instruction for Injection Mold Set-Up (Plastic) apprenticeship. The curriculum for this apprenticeship program is closely aligned with Western’s current Tool and Die Apprenticeship curriculum. All of the classroom instruction would be delivered by the current Machine Tool Apprenticeship instructor with current equipment so no additional resources are required. This is a budget neutral program addition which will actually help fill current excess capacity and produce additional revenue. For FY 16-17, state grant funding is available to support this as a new apprenticeship program in the district. Western has applied for this funding and we expect that it will be approved. At this time, two apprentices would be enrolled within an existing course section.

Recommendation: Approve the concept for the addition of the Injection Mold Set-Up (Plastic)

Apprenticeship for consideration at the Wisconsin Technical College System board meeting in July 2016.

I S S U E P AP E R Topic:

Project Submission and Acceptance – FY17 to FY20 Department of Labor – ETA YouthBuild

Issue: The Department of Labor has initiated a Request for Proposal (RFP) process for new and existing YouthBuild programs.

Project Description: Western will be applying for a grant to operate a federal YouthBuild program in La Crosse. If successful, Western would have the only YouthBuild program in western Wisconsin. YouthBuild projects focus on providing opportunities for high school dropouts between the ages of 16-24 to 1) earn a secondary education credential, 2) build or remodel housing for low-income individuals, 3) earn a construction credential and possibly post-secondary educational credential(s), and 4) secure employment. Western proposes to implement a YouthBuild project to help reduce the unemployment and poverty rate among youth ages 16-24. We will partner with various community organizations to refer at-risk teens and young adults to the program, provide land and/or housing to modify, and facilitate credential attainment (secondary, certificates, and beyond). The grant is $366,666/year for three years, or a total of $1,100,000. Typically the funding covers a Project Director, construction instruction, and supports participants with an hourly wage.

Total Project Federal Funds Matching Funds

$1.1M $825,000 $275,000

General Purpose Revenue (GPR) Funds

Issue: The Wisconsin Technical College System has initiated the Request for Proposal (RFP) process for fiscal year 2016 to 2017 for General Purpose Revenue funding.

Statement: Western Technical College is applying for Emergency Assistance Grant funds to be made available to eligible Pell recipients experiencing unforeseen financial emergencies. The goal of these funds is retain students who may otherwise drop out due to a fiscal emergency. Western students facing barriers to success are encouraged to meet with Welcome Center counselors. If the student is facing a financial barrier, the student will be referred to a financial aid advisor who will provide financial literacy counseling and submit the paperwork for the student to receive emergency funds provided they meet the eligibility requirements of this funding (currently enrolled student whose expected family contribution is less than $5,000). The funds can be used to pay for unanticipated medical expenses, vehicle repairs, dependent care, housing, utilities, and/or transportation as examples. Funds cannot be used for tuition, textbooks, student fees, alcohol, tobacco, groceries, entertainment, legal services, and/or legal violations resulting in fines/forfeitures.

AGENDA ITEM 21 B C


I S S U E P AP E R Topic:

Project Submission and Acceptance – FY17 to FY21 National Science Foundation Scholarships in STEM: Scholarships for a Sustainable Future

Issue: The National Science Foundation has initiated a Request for Proposal (RFP) process with a focus on two-year colleges for financial support of low-income, academically talented STEM students.

Project Description: Western Technical College has applied for a grant to increase quality STEM education for low-income, academically talented students. Scholarships for a Sustainable Future will provide 100 students with scholarships in sustainability-related STEM programs at Western. Students qualifying for scholarships will be academically talented, have established financial need, and be enrolled in one of nine different sustainability-related programs at Western. The project will: increase the number of academically talented students with demonstrated financial need obtaining degrees in STEM and entering the workforce or a university STEM program; improve the education of the future STEM workforce through a learning community cohort model with a focus on sustainability; and generate knowledge to advance understanding of how an evidence-based learning community curricular and co-curricular activities affect the success, retention, transfer, and graduation in STEM disciplines. This project follows a cluster-style learning community model. Each student will form part of an Information Technology, Engineering & Manufacturing, and Construction & Design Learning Community Cluster, as part of the whole STEM cohort group.
