Gainesville College is revising their staff evaluation forms. The president asked Staff Council to form two task forces, one for support staff and one for professional staff, to submit recommendations for evaluation revisions. Many recommendations were not followed, but they will have an opportunity to submit others and will resubmit some recommendations before the form is finalized. They held a Staff Forum and had a good turnout. A new president was inaugurated this year.
Staff is represented on several committees for hiring new positions.
They have a new fitness center and center coordinator. They have an ongoing project with an elementary school as Partners in Education. The next conference will be held at Georgia College and State University on Friday, October 8, 1999. The committee has met and things are in progress. Ramona said they are continuing to ask that staff be allowed to register for classes at the regular time, but so far that has been unsuccessful.
