Dr. O'Neil discussed his decision to fund the proposal. He indicated that there was flexibility in the timelines and, accordingly, some flexibility in allocating the funds. The bottom line is to meet the objectives laid out in the proposal at the end of the 3-year period or sooner.
Phyllis Berk described how the STARS team strategy has been changed to finish the Y2K programming this spring and implement in May. The entire STARS team will be devoted to that initiative until it is complete. They will then make any changes to the system over the summer as required by policy changes for the fall term. The Curriculum Tools programming effort as described in the proposal will be delayed until the summer.
Jeanne Alexander described the formation of a project team that will assigned the task of making a recommendation on what approach to take to all the administrative software.
Maryanne Ivey described her approach to implementing DARS. The software has been purchased and is about ready to be used. The timeline for this project will be adjusted to begin near the end of the first quarter 1998.
