APPROVAL
OF MINUTES
Upon a motion
by Mr. Bowen, second by Mr. Rice and Ms. Lyons,
the Board approved the minutes for August
4, 2005 State Board meeting.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Chairman Copeland stated the Commissioner
had met with the Governor and a group of 10
agency and department heads to discuss aid/assistance
for the hurricane victims in Louisiana, Mississippi
and Alabama. The following letter from the
Commissioner was sent to all DTAE staff, and
represents a summary of the Chairman’s
report.
September
2, 2005
Dear Colleagues:
Over the past week, we have seen a
tragedy unfold in a number of our neighboring
states. It is difficult to imagine the
extent of the human toll in the Gulf
Coast states.
The impact of the hurricane may well
exceed anything our country has ever
seen. Obviously, hundreds of thousands
of people are directly impacted. Even
more, the impact of the storm is being
felt throughout our country.
I wanted to share with you where we
are as a state and what is happening
pertaining to Georgia sharing its resources
with the impacted Gulf Coast region.
The Governor’s office today briefed
several agencies on current and future
actions.
First, it is human nature for each
of us to want to provide assistance
to the victims of the hurricane. To
give you an overview of the federal
response as well as the response of
the states, each impacted state now
has an active emergency management team
in place. In addition, those state –
level emergency management personnel
are linked on the ground with the federal
emergency management personnel. The
other states, including Georgia, are
linked into this system with the Georgia
Department of Homeland Security as our
lead agency.
As local officials determine what
is needed in their areas (food, water,
housing, etc), that request is being
sent to the state and federal emergency
officials in that state. Then, the network
of federal and state emergency management
offices (Georgia Homeland Security in
our state) will be asked to supply the
needed resources. At the current time,
the priority is food and water, and
security is now being placed on the
front burner. The issue for all of this
is not only transporting the material
in, but setting up the infrastructure
to accomplish this (feeding and housing
the people who are coming in to help).
This all is taking a tremendous amount
of coordination at all levels. Thus
far, for Georgia, we have been asked
to send environmental and medical teams,
forestry teams, most likely public safety
officers, and somewhere around 1,500
national guard personnel.
With regard to housing storm refugees
in Georgia, the state Department of
Community Affairs is assessing the situation.
We must remember that the needed housing
will not be for a week, but instead
long-term. No one can anticipate what
impact this will have on Georgia - it
is dependent on how many affected individuals
and families make their way into Georgia.
In addition, we must start looking at
other needs, like education and jobs
for those displaced people. All of these
issues are being explored at the state
level.
In the coming days, the larger state
agencies will be asked what they can
do if called upon. Again, all of this
is dependent on what services are being
requested by storm-ravaged communities
and communicated through their state
emergency management agency to other
states’ emergency management personnel.
Needless to say, we will assess what
resources our agency could bring in
to help if called on. The key message
from the Governor was to get ready in
the event we are called on for help.
As to the situation in our state,
it is believed that the pipelines that
bring a portion of our fuel into Georgia
will be up and running at capacity by
the weekend. In Georgia, much of our
fuel supply is delivered through our
ports, thus it is hoped that any supply
disruptions will be short-lived.
I came away from the meeting today
with several thoughts. First was the
horrible extent of the human toll (no
home, no job, no money, and sometimes
no identification). Second, the structure
is being put in place to do as much
as possible for these displaced people.
Third, we need to stand ready to provide
any assistance that we will be asked
to deliver. Fourth, the private non-profit
agencies need our support to carry out
their good work. Lastly, and maybe as
importantly as all of the above, the
individuals and families who will need
to start their lives over again need
us to keep them in our thoughts for
quite some time.
Thanks for all of your efforts!

Chairman Copeland then called for a moment
of silence for the hurricane victims.

The Commissioner expects the Committees
to begin working immediately and to provide

January 2006.
B. Legislative Update:
 Tuition
and Fees
In 2003, the General Assembly passed Senate
Bill 73 that allowed the University System
of Georgia to increase the maximum write-off
of accounts receivables from $100 to $3000
and also allowed certain funds (continuing
education fees, technology fees, and indirect
cost recoveries) to carry over from fiscal
year to fiscal year with a sunset provision
of June 30, 2006.
The law was amended in 2004 allowing the
Department of Technical and Adult Education
(DTAE) to write-off receivables up to $3000,
with a sunset provision of June 30, 2006.
Proposals:
1. Remove the sunset provision of O.C.G.A.§50-16-18
to continue to allow the write-off of
certain receivables up to $3000 for the
University System of Georgia and DTAE;
2. Amend O.C.G.A. §20-3-86 to allow
DTAE to carry over revenue collected from
continuing education fees, technology
fees, and indirect cost recoveries;
3. Further amend O.C.G.A. §20-3-86
to allow for the carry over of tuition
funds in addition to the above referenced
fees for both the University System of
Georgia and DTAE;
4. Remove the sunset provision of O.C.G.A.
§ 20-3-86 so to continue to allow
the carry over of funds collected from
tuition, continuing education fees, technology
fees, and indirect cost recoveries for
both the University System of Georgia
as well as DTAE.
For the past several years, our system
of technical colleges has attempted to balance
the effects of on-going budget reductions
while maintaining the quality of instructional
programs and institutional support services.
The ability to carry forward tuition revenues
from year-to-year in order to build a contingency
for economic downturns will provide efficient
use of resources while eliminating the need
for last minute purchases at year-end.
The technical colleges have averaged surpluses
of approximately $440,000 a year for the
past four years. This amount includes state
and local funds generated from tuition,
fees and continuing education. The annual
state appropriations for the corresponding
four-year period have exceeded $275 million.
The lost revenue generated through the surplus
would more than offset time spent determining
the surplus by the state auditors and allow
the colleges to plan for significant swings
in state appropriations that have historically
hampered their ability to serve student
during times of scarce public resources.
Security
for our Campuses
Presidents have indicated they would like
to hire certified public officials to provide
security on their campuses. We are waiting
on a decision by the Attorney General’s
Office as to whether this action would require
legislation.
C. Presidential Searches
1. Sandersville Technical College –
A slate of candidates is expected within
30 to 45 days;
2. West Central Technical College –
Search is underway with Don Rhodes chairing;
3. East Central Technical College –
Search expected to begin late September
or early October.
D. Georgia Army National Guard’s
48th Brigade
The Commissioner reminded everyone that many
families in our system have been impacted
by the war on terrorism. The Georgia Army
National Guard’s 48th Brigade has been
deployed and leaving many families behind
throughout our state. He requested the Board
and staff to consider ways in which we can
best serve and provide assistance to those
fellow Georgians and their families who have
been impacted.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
October Board meeting is
at Moultrie Technical College, October 5 and
6. Details will follow. (Attachment
A - Tentative Agenda).
November Board meeting will be in
Savannah, November 9 and 10 in conjunction
with the Leadership Conference. A tentative
agenda was given to each member. Additional
details will follow.
Chairman Copeland requested the suspension
of the December meeting due to the holidays.
The Executive Committee is considering making
a legislation request for changes in the number
of Board meetings held each year. The request
would be to suspend up to two meetings a year.
There will be more discussion on this later.
Charlie Harris Award - Chairman Copeland
entertained a motion to nominate Mr. Edgar
Rhodes as the recipient of the Charlie Harris
Award to be presented at the Leadership Conference
in November. Mr. Bowen’s response: “Mr.
Chairman, for his record of distinguished
service and leadership on this Board and a
lifetime of commitment and involvement with
education, which is clearly evidenced by innovate
programs and initiatives; sound fiscal management
and state of the art instructional facilities,
not only within DTAE, but within the University
System of Georgia and in Georgia’s K-12
System; I move to award the Charles A. Harris
Award to Mr. Edgar Rhodes.” Upon Mr.
Bowen’s motion and a second by Mr. Rice
and Ms. Lyons, the Board approved to posthumously

Education; Board of Regents of the University
System of Georgia; Office of Student Achievement;
Georgia Student Finance Commission; and the

the HOPE Chest, designed to preserve the HOPE
funds.
Ms. Lyons reported that she lead a group
discussion centered on collaborative seamless
education as related to the seamless education
Vision Statement currently under consideration
