instructor at the
Consent Agenda Item V-D: New
Courses
There were two new courses for consideration; EDUC 260 Introduction to Early Childhood Education, and ETEC 170 Computer Applications in Manufacturing II.
EDUC 260, a three credit hour course, was created to replace three one-hour courses in Family and Consumer Sciences in child development. This should aid the student in transferring the course to bachelor degree-granting institutions.
The second course is ETEC 170. Through an $8,000 grant from the Kansas Department of Commerce, which is still pending, the College will be able to offer a course in MasterCAM software. The software and instructor materials alone are $8,000, for an eight seat course, so the grant was greatly needed. MasterCAM software deals with tooling and manufacturing of parts through computer controlled equipment, taking a computerized design and turning it into a metal, wood or plastic part. The college will be able to offer the course multiple times in order to offer the course to more that just eight people.
Both courses were approved by divisional staff, the College Curriculum Committee, and the Chief Academic Officer.
The administration recommended that the Board approve these courses and direct the Vice President for Student Learning to add them to the College Master Course List.
The new courses are on the following pages.

Attendance Policy
Unless students are participating in a school activity or excused by the instructor, they are expected to attend class. If a student’s unexcused absences exceed twice the credit hour designation for the course, the instructor has the right, but is not required, to withdraw a student from the course. Once the student has been dropped for excessive absences, the registrar’s office will send a letter to the student, stating that he or she has been dropped. A student may petition the Vice President of Student Learning for reinstatement by submitting a letter stating valid reasons for the absences within one week of the registrar’s notification. If the student is re-instated into the class, the instructor will be notified. Administrative Withdrawals (AW) cannot occur after seventy-five percent (75%) of the class has been completed.
Academic Integrity
NCCC expects every student to demonstrate ethical behavior with regard to academic pursuits. Academic integrity in coursework is a specific requirement. Consequences of violation of the Academic Integrity policy can range from redoing the assignment for partial credit to course dismissal at the discretion of the instructor. Definitions and examples of Academic Integrity, as well as the appeals process, can be found in the College Catalog, Student Handbook, and/or Code of Student Conduct and Discipline.
ASSESSMENT OF
STUDENT GAIN
Pre-assessment ideally begins during the advisement and enrollment process prior to the beginning of the course where the advisor and student determine through the interview process the level of placement for the student. During the period of the first two weeks of a normal semester, each student will be observed and/or interviewed; and initial papers produced will be examined to determine needed competency development throughout the course. Post-assessment to determine gain in competency will be measured at the end of each unit of study.
ADVISORY COUNCIL INVOLVEMENT
The program maintains a Board of Reference for this vocational component. The coordinator communicates with the Board on a regular basis concerning issues or problems that occur and meets with the group one or two times each year.

Agenda Item VII-A. Organization of the Board Policy Revision (second reading)
At the November meeting of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Pringle was asked to suggest language for the Board Policy Manual concerning term limits. Based on discussions that the Board does not desire to impose limits on the number of terms that a Board Chair can hold, or that Trustees may be elected to, one option is designed to represent that sentiment in the Board Policy Manual and show that it has been addressed for purposes of NCA review. Mr. Pringle also included optional language to impose a term limitation for service as a Board Chairperson. This suggested language is not legal specific, and may be modified as appropriate to reflect the Board’s desires and intentions. Both options were presented at the December meeting for review and consideration.
The new or added language is show in bold italics.

The board shall also elect a vice-chairperson from its members, who shall serve for one year or until his/her successor is elected and qualified. There shall be no limitation to the number of one-year terms to which a member may be elected to serve as chairperson or vice-chairperson. All members of the board are encouraged to consider service as chairperson and/or vice-chairperson. The board will select such other officers as it may deem desirable from among its own membership or from other qualified individuals.
Organization of the Board (Option 2)
At the first regular meeting each July, the board shall organize by the election of a chairperson from its members, who shall serve for one year or until his/her successor is elected and qualified. The board shall also elect a vice chairperson from its members, who shall serve for one year or until his/her successor is elected and qualified. A member shall not be elected to serve as chairperson for more than three (3) consecutive one-year terms. All members of the board are encouraged to consider service as chairperson and/or vice-chairperson. The board will select such other officers as it may deem desirable from among its own membership or from other qualified individuals.

Agenda Item VIII-C: Mass Media Program Agreement with USD 413
USD 413 submitted several programs to the State Board of
Education for approval to receive vocational funding (VE2). The mass
media program was declined for vocational funding due to the date of the articulation
agreement with NCCC. The articulation agreement had not been updated
since the early 1990’s; therefore, USD 413 approached NCCC to update the
articulation agreement. The revised articulation agreement may be
resubmitted to the KSBE in February for further consideration. After
dialog with the instructors at CHS and the faculty at NCCC, the courses have
been updated and the new articulation agreement created. At this time,
NCCC does not have an active mass media program; however, we do have these
courses on our permanent master course list and can reinstate the courses as
appropriate. This articulation agreement creates a partnership
opportunity that NCCC and CHS can explore whenever the student demand
arises. In the meantime, it allows the local district to receive VE2
funding for the students enrolled in this vocational program.
It was the administration’s recommendation that the Board approve the Mass Media Program Agreement with USD 413.
Resolution 2006-5
RESOLVED, That the Board of Trustees of Neosho County Community College approves the Memorandum of Agreement with Unified School District 413 for the Mass Media Program as outlined.

second, the above resolution was approved.
Motion passed unanimously.
MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, by and between the following two parties:
Unified School
District (USD) 413,
is made to provide students enrolling in the MASS MEDIA program at the USD the option to earn hours toward an Associates Degree from NCCC. The cooperative effort of offering the Associate of Arts Degree will enhance the employment opportunities of the students.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed by and between the parties as follows:
IN WITNESS, WHEREOF, the parties accept and approve THIS AGREEMENT.
