Kale Braden gave an end-of-semester report on the Enterprise-Level Scheduling Solution (ELSS). His team has been working on a report, which currently totals 65 pages.  The last ELSS team meeting was last Friday.  The report focuses on how and why various decisions were made, as well as the data used to make the decisions. The report also addresses the next steps required in the process as well as suggested business practices going forward. The team has also been looking at Block Scheduling. For an overview, read the Executive Summary.  Kale will have a draft of the report mid to next week or after, and he requests that this committee should take a close look at the Business practices outlined in the report, and provide any feedback. Kale plans to give presentations about the ELSS to Senators, Deans, Admins, etc.  He will also loop w/Student Services and talk to Counselors.  Next step would be establishing an enrollment management team.  Kale will send report to Lisa and Tressa and they will send out.
