from the BSI fund must adhere to the following requirements:
- The person requesting funds must submit a Conference Leave Request Form to the Basic Skills Committee and be placed on the agenda for the Basic Skills Committee
(meets 4th Wednesday of each month). The requestor must clearly explain to the Basic
Skills Committee how their proposed activity addresses Basic Skills student needs.
The Committee would then collaboratively decide amount of funding to be provided,
and the requestor will be notified of the funding amount following the meeting.
- Following the activity, the person who received funds from BSI would submit a brief
report to the Basic Skills Committee or present at a regular Basic Skills meeting.
The person is also encouraged to report to groups who would be interested in what
was learned at the activity. The Conference Leave Expense Claim Form must be completed and signed by the appropriate people, including the BSI grant administrators,
prior to obtaining reimbursement.
- Please contact Michelle Gonzales or Ashley McHale to be placed on the committee agenda.
