RE: Tenure Requests
I am pleased to recommend five faculty members for tenure. Each person has submitted a written
request for tenure review in a timely manner and has provided the appropriate materials. All individuals
have been recommended by their deans and tenure review chairs/committees who have reviewed
classroom observation summaries and student evaluations.
Mr. Jimmy Behrens is a faculty member in Mathematics. Mr. Behrens goes above and beyond by
assisting with the Transitional Math state initiative, serving on the Internal Support Committee, and
attending numerous faculty meetings. Students say he is easy to approach and respectful to all, explains
topics very well, and takes a personal interest in each student. Based on my review of materials, I
recommend that Mr. Jimmy Behrens is granted tenure in Mathematics effective with the 2020-2021
academic year.
Ms. Jennifer Grindstaff is a faculty member in Languages & Communications. Ms. Grindstaff has taken a leading role in melding technology and instruction, extensively using the interactive classrooms. Jennifer uses best practices to keep her students engaged and has motivated students to explore leadership opportunities beyond the classroom. She was selected to serve as a faculty scholar during the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society’s 2020 summer conference. Based on my review of materials, I recommend that Ms. Jennifer Grindstaff is granted tenure in Languages & Communications effective with the 2020-2021 academic year.
Mr. Ronald Kraft is a faculty member in Welding. Mr. Kraft’s greatest strength is his ability to work with
students during “hands on” instructional time. When observed, the students showed a high level of
respect for him. Ron is also involved in many community outreach program activities and taught JDUB
Academy courses. Based on my review of materials, I recommend that Mr. Ronald Kraft be granted
tenure in Welding effective with the 2020-2021 academic year.
Ms. Laura Matthews is a faculty member in Health Sciences. Ms. Matthews is willing to not only meet a
challenge, but takes each challenge head on, creating the best learning experience for our nurses.
Students thrive under Laura’s guidance and have shared they feel secure in their learning and abilities
which impacts their level of success. Laura has contributed to the growth of the Health Sciences

Following this memo is a proposed board policy regarding Drug Free Workplace. With the legalization of adult recreational marijuana in the state of Illinois, marijuana is no longer considered a controlled substance. Therefore, marijuana has been removed from any listing of controlled substances and will be treated the same as alcohol as indicated in Board policy #512 – Drug Free Workplace.
I recommend the Board of Trustees authorize a revision to Board Policy 512 – Drug Free Workplace with the removal of marijuana.
Chapter 5- Human Resources
Drug Free Workplace POLICY 512
Purpose
This policy provides guidelines to ensure a drug-free workplace.
Policy Statement
The Board of Trustees supports a Drug-Free Workplace and laws endeavoring to provide a drug-free workplace for its employees including, specifically, the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 or other applicable statutes or regulations. (Pub. L. 100-690 Title V, Subtitle D.)
The Board of Trustees has determined that this policy will reduce the potential for or the likelihood that employees will engage in the possession, use, distribution, dispensation, sale, or manufacture of controlled substances or alcohol while on JWCC premises except as expressly sanctioned and approved by the Board of Trustees, under the exception section of this policy. This policy includes employees being under the influence of controlled substances while on College property, while going to or from College activities or business, or while otherwise engaged in College business or activities whether on or off campus.
This policy, as supplemented by any rules and regulations, is intended to comply with all applicable federal and state laws governing drug and alcohol testing and is designed to safeguard employee privacy rights. Neither this policy nor any other policy is intended to prevent or affect the right, privilege or prerogative of requiring drug or alcohol testing of employees under other circumstances.
No employee while on premises owned, leased, or used by the Board of Trustees, District or College; at College-sponsored or supervised activities; in any College owned, leased or used vehicle; while engaged in or going to or from college activities or business; or on or in any workplace for purposes of the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, shall unlawfully manufacture, distribute, dispense, possess or use any narcotic drug, hallucinogenic drug, amphetamine, barbiturate, marijuana, or other controlled substance. Employee’s shall at all times ensure that employee’s off-duty uses of medications prescribed for medical purposes, if lawfully being used under the applicable laws of the State of Illinois and authorized by a qualified medical professional: a) does not interfere with employee’s duties for the College; and b) does not pose a threat or danger to the employee, other staff, employees, or students of the College.
Employees suspected to be under the influence of, in possession of or impaired by any narcotic drug, hallucinogenic drug, amphetamine, barbiturate, marijuana, other controlled substances or alcohol or marijuana consumed while on premises owned, leased, or used by the Board of Trustees, District or College; in any College owned, leased or used vehicle; while engaged in or going to or from College activities or business; or on or in any workplace will be subject to drug or alcohol testing, in accordance with the College's policies and procedures, and, if determined to have violated the College’s policies herein or elsewhere, will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.
Chapter 5 – Human Resources
Drug Free Workplace POLICY 512
As a condition of employment, each employee shall abide by the terms of this Board Policy regarding a drug-free workplace, and shall notify the President, or, in the case of the President, the Chair of the Board of Trustees, of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace no later than five (5) days after such conviction.
Where an employee violates the terms of this Board Policy or has pleaded guilty to, received a criminal sentence of any kind (including court supervision) and/or has been convicted of a criminal drug statute for a violation occurring in the workplace and/or a criminal offense for driving under the influence while driving to or from College activities or business, the employee shall be subject to sanctions, consistent with law and Board Policy, which will include appropriate personnel action against the employee up to and including termination or requiring that such employee satisfactorily participates in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program approved for such purposes by a federal, state, or local health, law enforcement, or other appropriate agency. Without limiting the scope of employee sanctions, it is specifically stated that violation of this Board Policy shall constitute just cause for termination.
Delegated Authorities
The President, in cooperation with the Dean of Operations/Chief of Police and Director of Human Resources, assumes the overall responsibility for this policy.
Exceptions
On a case-by-case basis, the President may request, and the Board of Trustees, in its discretion, may approve a formal exception to this policy for use of alcohol at specified special events, or College sponsored or supervised activities on campus. No other exceptions to this policy are acceptable.
Reporting
Material issues related to this policy shall be reported to the Board of Trustees by the President and Dean of Operations/Chief of Police and Director of Human Resources at such times and in such format as they determine appropriate, with emphasis on expediency.
Responsibilities
The Director of Human Resources and the Dean of Operations and Chief of Police shall perform the responsibilities of this policy and the relevant provisions of the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988.

RE: Athletic Expansion
To grow enrollment and expand the co-curricular offerings to prospective and current students, I request the addition of NJCAA Esports be added to our athletic department to begin competitively in the fall 2020 semester.
I concur and recommend the Board of Trustees approve of the addition of NJCAA Esports, to our athletic department beginning competitively fall 2020.
Enrollment Impact Initiative Draft Plan – Esports
Ad Hoc Team Leader: Brad Hoyt
Ad Hoc Team Members: Joshua Brueck, Bill LaTour, Lou Barta, Grant VanDenBerg
Initiative Summary: Explore the addition, expense, potential return on investment, and timelines of Esport programs to the JWCC Athletic Department.
Action Plan Announce the addition of NJCAA sponsored Esports for the Fall 2020. The NJCAA currently sponsors 2 seasons – the fall and the spring. The fall games currently available are Madden NFL, Rocket League, and Super Smash Bros Ultimate. The spring schedule was recently announced and the NJCAA will sponsor Fifa20, Overwatch, Super Smash Bros Ultimate (singles and 2 v 2), and Rocket League teams. Each gaming title serves as an athletic roster. Establish room D157 as the official Esports practice and match room with necessary hardware, software, graphics, and lighting. Hire a coach to begin recruiting rosters ASAP.
Timeline February 2020 – Board approval March 2020 – Hire Esports coach and begin recruiting immediately March/April 2020 – Purchase and format hardware, software, room for recruitment process August 2020 – Begin training and competing in NJCAA Esports
Resources Needed: Six (6) stations for PS4 gaming - console, controllers, chairs, screen, headsets
Ten (10) stations for PC gaming – monitor, computer, mouse, keyboard, chairs, headsets
Separate table area for six (6) Nintendo Switch gaming – Nintendo switch, charging console, chairs
Six (6) gaming software packages for Madden NFL, FIFA20, and Super Smash Brothers
Ten (10) gaming software packages for Overwatch and Rocket League
Communication software – headsets
Classroom renovation – paint, floor mats, logo and branding
Scholarship/Waiver dollars (6 full in-district waivers- maximum of 192 waived hours)
Additional $1.00 ISSF fee for FY21 – maintain equipment, replace equipment, athletic staff addition, coaching salary, additional expenses such as deferred maintenance.
One-time transfer of $48,000 from other auxiliary budget for startup expenses. Total start up expense: $48,000 Total yearly expense: $14,000 ($10,000 staffing (coach and support staff), $2,500 equipment/supplies/recruiting/software upgrades, $1,500 dues to NJCAAE) As rosters/games are added, cost would increase according
Projected Outcome: 18 total students at a minimum of 24 credit hours (12 hours per semester) = 432 minimum hours enrolled for the year. (Waived hours would be maximum of 144 credit hours with minimum hours enrolled or 192 credit hours with maximum hours enrolled.
Roster projections: Overwatch –8 players FIFA20 –3 players Super Smash Bros Ultimate –4 players Rocket League –6 players Madden NFL –3 players Would anticipate some shared student-athletes lending to an overall new student enrollment projection of 18 students.
Recruiting numbers can be adjusted based on many variables, including but not limited to the timing of the announcement of the addition, the individual coach and experience, the status and scheduling of the Esports gaming room, and adjusted offerings of games sponsored via the NJCAA.
Year one projection: (minimum – maximum) Credit hours enrolled: 432 (18 students at 24 yearly credit hours) - 768 (24 students at 32 yearly credit hours. Tuition revenue: ($163 credit hour) $70,416 - $125,184 Waived tuition: ($163 credit hour – 6 ‘full’ waivers) $23,472 - $31,296 Total net gain (tuition – waiver only): $46,944 - $93,888 yearly Yearly expense/operating budget: $14,000 from ISSF structure Yearly net revenue would be at a minimum of $32,944
The budget dollars will pull from a separate fund (ISSF) than where the estimated revenue will be directed.
One-year increase and then potential to grow in future years and rosters sizes improve. A revisit of the scholarship structure in FY22 will be warranted as Esports continue to grow.
Revenue and expense projections are variable based on credit hours and the waiver system. The more hours that are enrolled, potentially the more hours become waived. One semester students that are not retained to the second semester is also a scenario – but as the spring schedule of games grow, it lessens that risk.

RE: University of Illinois intergovernmental agreement
An intergovernmental agreement is being presented for approval to the Board of Trustees on a five acre real estate parcel located with the Orr Research Farm in Pike County Illinois and currently owned by the University of Illinois. The purpose of this lease is to provide land access for the newly proposed multi-purpose facility on that site. Because of the time required for the University of Illinois to work through a process and get Board of Trustee approval for deeding the land to JWCC, this is the most time efficient way of working through this process and is consistent with the way it was done in the 1980’s with our currently shared agricultural center. The term period for this lease is March 1, 2020 through February 28, 2030.
