Chair Vukelich will proceed with the appointment of this task force. Project Search Budget Ms. B. VanDornick submitted a budget for UCTE review.

UCTE encouraged the committee to use the Bob Carpenter Center this year.
Parking is easier and table rentals are cheaper.
Ms. VanDornick will investigate the possibility of securing a special public school rental rate for the use of the Center for this event. A motion was made, seconded, and unanimously approved to support the budget as presented. If there is a deficit, UCTE will need to consider how to cover the loss. It may be necessary to request a cost-sharing among the colleges with professional education programs. Last year UCTE recommended that the number of student teaching hours required and credits awarded for student teaching in the Agriculture Education program be increased from six to nine credit hours and to ten weeks.
