City of Waco ‘Fun In The Sun’ Summer Camp - Today, June 14, is the first day of the City of Waco sponsored camp housed here on the TSTC campus. Due to such a large turnout of people registering their children, and some miscommunications, the number of enrolled children rose from 70 to 125. Also, due to the large enrollment, a second camp site was needed. The two camp sites still need some work in order to house the children; therefore, for the first couple of days of the camp will take place at the Women’s Resource Center.

Swimming Pool - The swimming pool is operative right now with one lifeguard and swim time for students only. Until we hire more lifeguards, only students will be allowed to swim.

Increase in Domestic Violence in Family Housing - Mr. Reed presented to the Council information regarding an increase in domestic violence on campus. He asked the Council’s opinion regarding student services’ involvement where students are involved - whether school disciplinary action should be taken according to policy or should the school stay completely out of the picture, thus letting the police solely handle the situation. Questions such as whether we have the resources to handle or liability issues were raised. However we handle this affects the reputation of the school.

ACTION: Mr. Reed will seek legal counsel’s opinion on this matter.

SACS Substantive Change - Ms. Herbert announced that our campus had recently reported to SACS on the Substantive Change for a distance learning program.
