Simko reports on PTK awards

May 6, 2004

    Andy Simko, student trustee, reported on the Phi Theta Kappa Student Advisory Committee annual awards banquet in Springfield, April 21-22.
    "The event was well received by over 250 students in attendance," Simko told the board of trustees during their April meeting.
    "The following day was lobby day for the students sponsored by the student advisory committee. All in all the lobby day was a successful event."
    Following another meeting in Springfield, board trustee David Wilcoxson said, "We need an equitable state funding program for our schools. We have to convince our legislators we have valid reasons for being in Springfield. We are there for the improvement of our entire educational system, state and society."
    The board also:

• Authorized the college to officially notify the Sheridan correctional center faculty of the reduction in force pending the finalization of the new contract. As soon as the new contract is concluded, staff will be reinstated.
• Authorized the business office to accept a bid of $26,622 from Kraft Paper, McHenry, as the lowest, most responsible bidder for custodial supplies.
