Categogy included in your proposed 2019-2020 budget.
In our first year of program implementation and design, the program lacked

materials, process purchase orders, prepare documents related to staff and
student travel, make follow up calls, prepare for meetings, workshops and
other events/activities related to the Catalyst work. The faculty work was
Staffing centered around leading and developing the student leadership and
connecting them to community resources. The student assistants helped with
recruitment at the high schools and at college campuses to develop the
larger groups of the Conexiones Estudiantiles de BC on the Bakersfield and
Delano campuses. Adding a Department Assistant will help streamline the
services beginning in Year 2.
The faculty stipend will not be charged with fringe benefits. The Department
Assistant would be hired as a full-time benefited classified employee. The

Other Operating students and families (e.g., presentations, workshops, and one-on-one
