Chancellor's virtual forum
Thank you to those who attended today's Chancellor's Virtual Forum on the District's fiscal outlook. The PowerPoint and the Zoom recording are now available.

One quick correction: Chancellor Lynn Neault inadvertently said payroll director instead of benefits director when she mentioned an upcoming search.
Notifications when
a student has COVID-19
The District's Campus Repopulation Planning Framework lists the steps that should be taken when a student tests positive for COVID-19. (See p. 15)
An important note: this only applies to students who have been on the Grossmont or Cuyamaca College campuses. Following are the steps:
  1. Gather information from the student, and encourage them to stay home until cleared by their healthcare provider.
  2. Contact the college president, vice president of student services, dean of student affairs, and Student Health Services at the appropriate campus. Cheryl Detwiler in Human Resources should also be notified.
  3. The areas that the student visited will be sanitized, and Student Health Services will work with county Public Health Services to conduct contact tracing.

If a student who is learning remotely reports that they tested positive for COVID-19, find out if they have been on campus lately. If they have, follow the steps above. If they have not, notification is not required. Faculty should work with any student who is having difficulty completing their course work because they are ill.
Outdoor wireless expansion coming soon
To provide added convenience to students, the District has authorized Facilities/IT to expand current outdoor wireless deployment. We are currently providing wireless access at Grossmont College, Parking Lot 4, and Cuyamaca College, Parking Lot 5.
Work is now under way to expand the outdoor wireless at both campuses. At the Grossmont College campus, the outdoor wireless will be available in the Main Quad outside Building 10 and also in the campus area surrounded by the 500 buildings. At Cuyamaca College, wireless will be available in the patio area outside Building B, the Communication Arts building.

The work is expected to be completed later this fall.
Free flu shots October 19 at Grossmont College
Free drive-through flu shots are being offered to the public from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday, October 19 at Grossmont College.

The shots will be given at the drive-through in front of Building 10. A reservation is recommended. All participants must wear a face mask, and quantities are limited.
The free shots are being offered by the county Health and Human Services Agency.
Sexual harassment prevention training reminder
This is a reminder that sexual harassment prevention training is required for all GCCCD employees. Supervisory employees must complete two hours and non-supervisory employees must complete one-hour training by December 1.
Please log into the Vision Resource Center using your normal GCCCD email/network credentials. Click Launch next to the harassment course in the “My Training” box on your Welcome Page. Click “Start Course.” 
 
Please contact Alyssa Brown with any questions.
Review the checklist before coming to campus
Before coming to one of the campuses, be sure to review the Daily Checklist to make sure you are free of COVID-19 symptoms. Notify your supervisor if you have any of the symptoms.
All employees reporting to work at the campuses must immediately have a temperature check on arrival. Anyone with a temperature of 100.0 or more will not be permitted to remain on campus. Those with a temperature of less than 100.0 degrees will be given a wristband that must be worn while on campus. Temperature checks are offered at the Campus and Parking Services offices at both campuses.

Thank you for helping to keep our campuses safe and healthy!
