Shoreline Shout Out to Jim Schulz, John Nold & Greg Jensen:

Jim, John & Greg have been working the COVID temperature check in station in the Auto Showroom all quarter and managing their full time work on campus. They have worked together making sure there is coverage every day. I can’t thank them enough for all their hours of support to ensure the safety of our Students, Staff and Visitors. Thank you, you’re the best!!!! – Ellen Gottas

Shoreline Shout Out to the Custodial Staff:

I am so grateful for the custodial staff. I come into the Parent Child Center every morning and the center is always clean. I am especially grateful for coming into a clean kitchen every day. Thank you for all your care. I am also grateful for the custodial staff for helping keep us healthy and safe by coming during the middle of the day and sanitizing the public areas and surfaces. – Anonymous

Shoreline Shout Out to the Student Laptop Checkout Team:

Since last March, this multi-department team has checked out over 370 laptops to about 580 Shoreline students to support them while we are in fully online mode. The group includes folks from TSS who purchase and prep the laptops, eLearning folks who process student requests, Library folks who manage the check outs and check ins and Community Rentals folks who staff the student curb side pick up/drop off. What a collaboration to support our students!! – Anonymous

Shoreline Shout Out to Facilities:

When the impending snow was in the forecast, they de-iced the parking lot, laid down rock salt prior to the weekend. Then when we came back on Tuesday to operate our Curbside pick up and drop off location for students and staff, the lot was as clear as possible and they created paths for us. This allowed us to service drive-ups safely. The entire crew really shine in these situations. Thank for all you do! – Deann Larson

Update on the 2020-21 Administrative Exempt Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA)

March 2, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleague, 

The Executive Team (ET) made the decision last summer to pause the 2020-21 Cost of Living Allocation (COLA) for Administrative Exempt staff, in the interest of modeling creative approaches to our campus-wide budget reduction process (saving the College approximately $240,000). Administrative Exempt staff became the only group that took a categorical reduction in pay last year, and the College had to make additional budget reductions using other methods. 

Since then, the College has stayed on track to close its budget shortfall and has also received more federal CRRSAA aid dollars than expected. It is with this context that I am announcing the unpausing of this year’s COLA for Administrative Exempt staff, effective March 1, 2021. (Please note, I, as President, am foregoing this COLA and will not receive any adjustment to my pay as an administrator this year or going forward.) 

This means Administrative Exempt staff will receive their 3% increase in pay March 1, 2021 forward, noting there is no option to make it retroactive to July 1, 2020. Acknowledging two-thirds of the fiscal year has already passed, the administrative staff members will receive the increase for only the last four months of this fiscal year but will retain it across the full fiscal years moving forward.  

This unpausing of the Administrative Exempt COLA restores these staff members to the COLA provided to Classified Staff and Faculty, meaning all employee groups are now at a level playing field for receiving future COLA increases. I wish to thank the Administrative Exempt staff for their adaptability and willingness to make this sacrifice this year for the good of the College. 

Respectfully, 

Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D. 

President
