1. Proposal For A New Cosmetology Department Minimum Staff Curriculum Design Building Floor Plan Minimum Equipment Dispensary Supply List Recruitment Budget Concerns

2. Minimum Staff Explanation: Cosmetology students must gain 1600 hours of study, which takes about one year, full-time (40 hours per week). Students move from level 1 to level 5, needing five separate classrooms. Each level should have one full- time instructor in charge of that level. A central lab can supply all classes. See next slide

4. Curriculum Design Several Examples of Curriculum Design from various colleges will be examined to rewrite one suitable for the new school. SCANS requirements should be considered.

8. Student Recruitment We have so many students trying to get into Cosmetology that potential students have camped out on the lawns overnight, hoping to get in. There have been obvious safety and policing issues involved with this process. Now, both RCC and Fullerton Colleges have switched over to a “lottery system,” where numbers are given out, and they are drawn from a basket and the allotted numbers of students are notified to enroll. It would be best if the upper campus registration system would handle this process. There would be no problem recruiting at a new location in Victorville. The problem would be accommodating all that apply. And eventually, we could develop a night program.

10. Budget Concerns Cosmetology Departments have students waiting in line to register. The income generated by servicing our clients is a great selling point. The department “pays for itself”. Students buy their own kits. A lab fee is charged during registration to help cover dispensary expense. We offer services to the theater department and during school fairs (face- painting.) Our Cosmo Club raises money for student supplies, like a refrigerator for the students.

11. Conclusion: There is a great demand in the growing Victorville area for upgraded instruction in Cosmetology at the Junior College. This venture would service many students for years to come. Rhonda Limbacher
