    • Chow has been serving on the statewide AB 705 Implementation Task Force set up by the Chancellor’s Office.  Chancellor’s Office has released more detailed implementation guidelines for English and ESL. Math is still forthcoming.  ESL has a separate sub-workgroup.
    • Chow explained that Veronica Avila accompanied her to the recent first Implementation Workshop held at Bakersfield College.  Avila asked a question where the Chancellor’s Office representative Alice Perez confirmed that colleges have local control over implementation, as long as it meets the AB 705 requirements.  Santa Monica VPI recorded Avila’s question and the answer from Alice Perez.
