Deferred or tabled: - Agenda item 4.3 (approval of out‑of‑state nurse practitioner clinical placements): Committee voted to defer to February 2026 ELC meeting and requested a staff briefing to the full board in November; motion carried to defer. (Jovita Dominguez — yes; Dolores Trujillo — yes; Tricia Winn — yes.) - Agenda item 5.2.2 (Marsha First School of Nursing enrollment increase request for Glendale and West Covina): Deferred to full board for additional clinical collaboration documentation and corrected attrition/graduation reporting; staff to assist the school with required forms.
Information only (no action taken): - Agenda item 5.1 (Merritt College associate degree nursing program compliance update): Committee accepted the program's progress report as information; the program remains on warning and will return quarterly until in compliance.
Notes on procedure and documentation: Several items were originally listed on the consent agenda but were pulled for discussion (notably 4.3 and 5.2.2). For items involving enrollment increases, committee members repeatedly requested a clinical collaboration form showing the effect of one additional clinical group on local clinical sites and asked that attrition and graduation figures be reported in the board's standard format (from program admission through graduation). Staff committed to circulating templates and examples and to collecting additional data from the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education where useful.
