3. The elimination of state funding for
professional development activities such as
travel and FLEX professional development
days has had a serious impact on the District’s
ability to provide adequate professional
development opportunities for faculty and
staff. However, the College has continued to
fund limited FLEX programs, a small number
of staff development programs (some funded
by external grants), and some travel. The
District views professional development as an
essential component of its Strategic Plan and
should continue to support professional
development activities that strengthen
and improve academic programs and
services, courses, instruction, alternate
delivery systems, and success in achieving
student learning outcomes.
4. The Board of Trustees has a formal Code
of Ethics and Responsibilities. Expectations
for ethical behavior by employees of the
District are covered in various District policies,
employee handbooks, and collective
bargaining agreements. The Administrators’
Association is currently working on a code
of ethics for administrators. However, the
District should review its policies pertaining
to ethical behavior and develop a code of
ethics for all employees.
