When they resumed in open session, regents approved extending Dr. Riza’s contract through June 1, 2018, and approved an increase in salary for the president as well.
The board voted also to approve a three-year lease renewal with the Childress Economic Development Corp. for the college’s center in that city. The new lease will commence on September 1.
Regents considered and then approved enrolling the McConnell Farm, property the college owns in Carson County, in the upcoming federal farm bill.
Faculty rank recommendations were considered and approved with Instructor Kim Jeffery being advanced to Assistant Professor and Interim Instructor Lauraine Paul being advanced in rank to Interim Associate Professor.
The board approved the hiring of Dr. Catherine Rosser as the college’s RN consultant and acknowledged the resignation of accountant Alice Cobb.
In his president’s report, Dr. Riza presented the 2015 employee survey which showed improved satisfaction by employees compared to the survey from 2014.
Riza also updated the board of regents on the actions of the CC Pampa Center Foundation, which is continuing its dual credit scholarships for Gray County high school students on the free and reduced lunch program and is making plans to erect a bell tower on the campus in Pampa.
Vice President of Instruction Roger Schusteriet recognized Linda Rowland to update the board on the success of the developmental math pilot program that was designed and implemented by her and Dr. Jeremy Sain.
